Rules FAQ

• You can trigger the reaction even if one or more players control no loyal characters they can kneel. Each other player must still choose and kneel one.

• A character is not an eligible target of this ability if it cannot be knelt. That means you cannot choose a kneeling character, a character that "cannot kneel" (for instance, due to The Black Cells), or a character that "cannot be knelt by card effects" (for instance, Bran Stark (BtB)).

What does the "immune to opponent's character abilities" actually stop? Is it only triggered abilities or constant abilities too?

If I put Aeron Damphair into play, does he also put an Ironborn character into play as well?

Rules FAQ

• Gift of Mercy can make use of the tokens placed by Jaqen H'ghar (or Kindly Man), and vice versa. In fact, you can use Gift of Mercy to place a Valar Morghulis token on a character and then immediately trigger Jaqen H’ghar to kill that character in the same reaction window.

• You can trigger the interrupt if the character leaves play for any reason, including being killed, discarded from play, returned to hand, shuffled into the deck, etc.

• In a Melee game, each player who does not control the character will gain 2 power when you trigger the interrupt. However, triggering the interrupt is completely optional. If multiple players are playing Gift of Mercy as their agenda, they can all trigger the interrupt before the character actually leaves play.

• Valar Morghulis tokens placed by any player all count together.

• Even if the character has more than 3 Valar Morghulis tokens (for instance, 6 or 9), you still only gain 2 power when the interrupt resolves.

• You gain 2 power before the character actually leaves play, so you can potentially get to 15 power before losing any power on characters that are about to leave play at the same time. If two or more players would get to 15 power at the same time, the first player decides which of those players wins the game. (See Winning the Game.)

Rules FAQ

• In normal circumstances, the first time you win a challenge as the attacking player your claim value would be 1, the second time it would be 2, and the third time it would be 3. However, cards like Catelyn Stark (Core), Winterfell (WotN) or Rationing can prevent you from triggering the reaction on the plot, while cards like Forgotten Plans or Nefarious Acolyte can blank it. Blanking the plot after the reaction has already been triggered will not retroactively remove the claim raise though.

• If you reveal this plot with the Battle of the Trident agenda, it will be too late to raise your claim value during that challenge. But note that claim for that challenge will have been applied when the previous plot was still revealed, since the agenda triggers after claim.

• Since Battle of the Green Fork refers to its own title rather than "your revealed plot card", any claim raise from its reaction will expire if you reveal a new plot during the challenges phase. On the other hand, any lasting effect that has raised the claim value "on your revealed plot card" will remain active even after you reveal a new plot.
