Card Text:

Unless Bodyguard is tapped, any damage done to you by unblocked creatures is done instead to Bodyguard. You may not take this damage yourself, though you can prevent it if possible. No more than one Bodyguard of your choice can take damage for you in this manner each turn.

Flavor Text:

Good bodyguards are hard to find, mainly because they don't live long.

Rulings

10/4/2004	If a creature is blocked but Trample damage is still done to a player, this damage can't be redirected to the Bodyguard because the Bodyguard only takes damage from unblocked creatures.
10/4/2004	Damage goes to the Bodyguard as long as he is untapped. This works even if he is blocking.
10/4/2004	If you have multiple Veteran Bodyguards, you can decide which one receives the redirected damage each time damage would be dealt to you.
