Where in the rules does it say The Dice have to be in the pool for this card to work?

page 21 of the RRG:

• A die cannot be removed unless it is in a player’s dice pool.

Thanks!

Removing dice moves them from a player’s dice pool back to
their matching card.

That doesn't really apply to crime Lord. That is more like if a die was electroshocked. That's kind of saying that action cheating can override Crime Lord. Was there ever a FAQ on this? I'm not finding one!

And then you have an override: "and place it here". Removing the dice means what card tell you.

The card reads: After you play this upgrade, you may remove an opponent's character die and place it here.

The rule says: A die cannot be removed unless it is in a player’s dice pool.

And the you have the Golden rule: If the text of a card directly contradicts the rules of the game, the text of the card takes precedence. If you can follow both the rules of the game and the text of the card, do so.

So you have to follow the rules of the game to be able to remove the die, but place the die on Prized Possession instead of the matching card because the text of the card takes precedence.

Thanks again everyone
