Rules FAQ

• The gold you gain will already contribute towards the calculation for dominance that is about to be determined.

• You can trigger the interrupt if you play The Regent's Council. If an opponent plays the event in a challenge against you, you cannot trigger Orton, because you have already lost an challenge during that interrupt window.

Rules FAQ

• Triggering the ability does not make the character participate in the challenge. That means the character cannot be removed from the challenge by card effects that target participating characters (for instance, Shrewd Diplomat). It also means you cannot resolve keywords such as renown, insight, intimidate, or pillage for that character.

• You cannot win a challenge unless you control at least 1 participating character. If your STR total for the challenge is higher than your opponent's but you do not control a participating character, the challenge ends with no winner or loser.

• If attached character is participating in the challenge and also contributing its STR via the attachment at the same time, you still only count its STR once.

• Any card ability that explicitly says a character does not contribute its STR to a challenge takes precedence over any card ability or framework effect that says the opposite. For instance, if attached character also has Traitor to the Crown attached, it will still not contribute its STR during a challenge.

• In a Melee game, you cannot trigger the ability during a challenge in which you are neither the attacking nor the defending player, because there is no "your side".

• See the full FAQ entry on Characters contributing their STR for other clarifications related to this mechanic.

Rules FAQ

• Kingsmoot Claimant will gain the King trait (and renown) only after the challenge has been initiated, not during the initiation process.

Rules FAQ

• You cannot play this event unless you can successfully choose 2 targets. In other words, you have to control at least 2 kneeling characters with the required traits, and they have to be permitted to stand.

• You can stand characters with any combination of traits. For instance, you can stand 2 characters with the R'hllor trait, 2 characters with the Wildling trait, or 1 of each.

Rules FAQ

• Neutral locations are not considered to be out of faction. If your faction is Baratheon, you can find any location from another faction. If your faction is something other than Baratheon (for instance, if you are playing Banner of the Stag), you can find any location.
