Rules FAQ:

  • You need to have a valid target (an opponent's character) in order to trigger the Tower's ability.

  • First you pay costs (kneel Tower and return a character to your hand), then your opponent can cancel the effects of the ability (e.g. via Treachery). The costs are paid in either case.

  • If you use a duplicate to save your character from returning to hand, the ability is aborted, and its effect does not resolve.

let's say I return a character to my hand with 4 cost. Can is trigger the Tower of the Hand even when opponent does not have any characters with cost 3 or lower? — oldbearmormont 1
