Rules FAQ
-
In a Melee game, the "10 or more STR" comparison is made against the opponent with the next-highest total for dominance.
-
Each player chooses a character they control, in player order. Then, the effect resolves simultaneously on each other character in play. (See Priority of Simultaneous Resolution.)
-
The event can be played even if a player controls no characters in play. If a player is able to choose a character, they must do so even if they would prefer to have that character killed (for instance, if their only character is Lysa Arryn).
-
A character that is immune to events (like Stannis Baratheon (FotS)) will survive whether it is chosen by its controller or not. A character that "cannot be killed" will also survive and does not need to be chosen (but it can be, if you wish). A character that "cannot be saved" (like Jon Arryn) is a perfectly valid choice for this event, since choosing a character to be exempt from the upcoming kill effect is not the same as attempting to save that character.
-
The event is played after you gain 1 power for dominance. If Ser Andrey Dalt is killed by the event, you still do not gain power, because the step of gaining power for winning dominance has already passed.
-
You can play multiple copies of this event in the same reaction window.
