  • 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.)

Gared

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.

A Bed of Scorpions

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.

Scheming Snake

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.)

  • 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.

Castamere

Rules FAQ

  • Castamere is not a claim replacement effect. It happens in addition to normal claim, similar to the original The Free Folk agenda.

  • Even if the claim value is 0, or if a claim replacement effect (such as Trial by Combat) is used, claim is still considered to have been applied. You can still trigger Castamere.

  • Modifiers that affect the claim value during challenges (such as Cersei Lannister (Core)) will apply to Castamere’s claim as well. Modifiers that work during challenges (such as Master of Ships) will not. For example, if the defending player has revealed Calm Over Westeros and named , Castamere’s ability will not be affected. But if the player named , both the normal claim and Castamere’s additional claim will be reduced by 1 during challenges.

  • A character that is killed due to Castamere’s ability is considered to have been killed for claim. Podrick Payne and Obella Sand can both be triggered. On the other hand, Rhaegal (MoD) and Mother's Men cannot, because the character is not considered to have been killed by a card effect. (Source.)

  • You cannot trigger cards like Mya Stone or The Hand's Tourney with Castamere’s ability, because claim isn’t being applied “for a challenge”. That applies only to the original claim. You also cannot trigger Trading With Qohor or Battle of the Trident as a reaction to Castamere’s ability.

  • If you have the Master of Whispers melee title, Castamere will still only affect the defending player, regardless of which and how many opponents you choose to resolve claim against.
