Milk of the Poppy on a char with Support of Harlaw

By chrassos, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

hi,

if i have Support of Harlaw on Balon Greyjoy and my opp plays Milk of the Poppy on Balon. does Balon still has the Stealth ability??

im asking because Support oH says : Attached character gains Stealth. so if he gains that ability does it appear on the textbox and would it be cleared by the Milk?

From the FAQ:

(3.8) Gaining Abilities

If any card effect has the text "character
gains...," any ability (traits, keywords, icon
modifiers, or STR modifiers are not considered
abilities) following the word "gains" is considered
to now be a character ability. However,
that effect is not assumed to be a part of that
character's text box. Any effect that blanks a
card's text box is assumed to blank that card's
printed text box.

That emphasized part at the end is the important one. Milk of the Poppy blanks the printed text box; the Stealth gained from Support of Harlaw is not part of the printed text box, so it stays.

100% reliable ktom

thx
