Well the topic is my question pretty much:

Sorceress special abilty reads:

You may take any one Follower, except the Maiden, Unicorn, or the Princess from a character you land on.

Black Unicorn read:

Enemy - Spirit

Craft: 7

If You defeat the Black Unicorn in psychic combat, you may keep it as a Follower instead of a trophy. While the Black Unicorn is your Follower, add 1 to your Strength and 1 to your Craft.

Ministrels special ability reads:

If you do not attack an animal, you may attempt to charm it. To do so, roll 1 die: if you roll higher than the Animal´s Strength, it joins you as a Follower and adds its Strength to yours in battle.

1 Can the Sorceress take the Black Unicorn as a Follower?

2 Does she need to fight it if 1 is yes?

3 Can she take away the Ministrels charmed animals?

I would say Sorceress falls under the Mesmerism Spell in this regard.

Hi Lyckan,

answer 1: not directly, You must first defeat the Black Unicorn in psychic combat, after that it becomes your follower.

answer 2. Yes, you must fight it first. Special ability from Sorceress don't work..

answer 3. No, ( Characters who do not have the charm ability can't steal animal followers ( and minstrel is the only one so far, who possess that ability.
