I'm going to go ahead and just upate this thread whenever I come across a new question that I have...

1) If using Stealth, does that character with Stealth have to be used in a challenge in order to use the ability? If I have two characters with Stealth in play, and I am attacking with with either ONE or NONE characters with the Stealth ability, do I still get to choose two opponent characters without Stealth that cannot defend?

2) If I am attacking with a Deadly character and my opponent chooses to let the challenge go unopposed, does my opponent still have to kill off a character?

1. The stealth passive effect only initiates for characters declared as attackers.

2. Deadly asks for a character participating in the challenge as a defender to be killed. If there are no defenders, no character has to be killed. (So, it's often better to let a military challenge go unopposed, even if you could win it, if an opponent has more deadly characters than you since you will lose a character either way).

Well if they have more deadly than you it can be a good idea to block with the person you were going to use to satisfy claim. No unopposed challenge and no on to satisgfy deadly because they have already been killed for claim.

Note, of course, that this is only true for military challenges. A good example of why Deadly means so much more on characters with Intrigue and Power icons.

That's true. I guess the way it usually comes up for me is that I could defend with some powerful character I don't want to lose like Drogon or I could let it go unopposed and lose some weenie without a military icon like Illyrio's Man.
