Rules FAQ

• The constant ability checks for any card in shadows, including those you control yourself. Your characters will not get +1 STR while you control a card in shadows, even if no opponent does.

• If you win a challenge as the attacking player in which Recruit from the Dungeons is defending, it returns to shadows automatically after the winner of the challenge is determined, so you can immediately trigger the reaction to discard it. You can also play a card like Banished from the Light to place a character in shadows and discard it in the same reaction window.

• The character is placed in its owner's dead pile before any reactions to a card entering the discard pile (like Citadel Archivist or Ser Addam Marbrand) could be triggered. Those reactions then cannot be triggered afterwards either, because they only interact with the discarded character while it is in the discard pile. (See Card Abilities & Out-of-Play Areas.)
