Text box query

By ghalgor, in Rules Questions

Does the symbol on the bottom of some characters eg +1 gold, count as part of the text box? I am just wondering how fortified position interact with these symbols.

Thanks in advance

Yes, if a text box gets blanked by another card's effect that symbol goes away as well. The Traits at the top, however, stay.

p5 "Blank"

xxA card’s text box includes: traits, keywords, card
text and abilities, and non-challenge icons (such as
gold, initiative, and reserve modifiers).

Thanks to both of you for the info. 4 of us looked and none of us found that. D'oh{face palm}

so one member says that the "traits" stays and the other member says that the "traits" does not stay.

So which is it?

It is a bit frustrating to play this game as FFG does not have some official ongoing rules updates.

Yes, there was a rule book with the base game, but cards have since been released with abilities, traits, effects, text and so on that are not completely explained in that original rule book.

Just saying...

Most card effects that blank text boxes say that they do not remove traits, but if a card said to blank a text box with out conditions, then yes it would affect the traits.
