Rules FAQ

• The chosen locations gain power before Karstark Lancer leaves play. If a player gets to 15 power this way, that player immediately wins the game. All locations gain power simultaneously, so it is possible for two or more players to reach 15 power at the same time. If that happens, the first player decides who wins the game.

• Karstark Lancer’s ability still resolves even if one or more players have no locations to choose, or if their locations cannot gain power (due to Karhold, for instance).

Rules FAQ

• A character is considered to have a challenge icon or to not have that icon. A single character that has and/or is gaining the same challenge icon from multiple sources functions as if it has one instance of that icon. (See Challenge Icons.)

Rules FAQ

• Gared will kneel the faction cards before the When Revealed abilities of plots like Valar Morghulis, Valar Dohaeris or Ghosts of Harrenhal resolve. If an opponent reveals Outwit at the same time, their faction card will be knelt before Outwit could be used.

• Gared triggers before the new plots become revealed. If Fortified Position was revealed before, Gared will still be blank and will not be able to trigger. On the other hand, if Fortified Position is one of the “new” plots, Gared will trigger before it becomes active and blanks him.

• Gared’s ability has no limit. If more than one player reveals an Omen plot card and Gared’s ability is cancelled (by Begging Brother, for instance), you can trigger him again for the other Omen plot.

Rules FAQ

• You can choose to kill you own character if you wish. If you kill your only attacking character, the challenge resolution will still proceed as normal. A Bed of Scorpions may also cause another character to be “attacking or defending alone” for the purposes of triggering card abilities (for instance, Jaqen H'ghar).

• If you kill the only defending character, it will not retroactively make the challenge unopposed.

• A character is considered to have a challenge icon or to not have that icon. A single character that has and/or is gaining the same challenge icon from multiple sources functions as if it has one instance of that icon. (See Challenge Icons.)

• Gaining a challenge icon at a later time will not let the character contribute its STR to the challenge again after it has already been affected by Scheming Snake.
