Noble Ned and Dragon Skull

By sjchua, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

Hi, this came up in the game today. I think we played it right but thought I check. Eddard can cancel Dragon Skull if it's played on him or another noble right? The word 'choose' isn't used but I suppose that is implicit in selecting a character to attach to.

We played it could be cancelled and Dragon Skull would simply be discarded as a result of the cancel. Since it never succeeded in being attached, it's passive effect is useless too.

Thanks in advance for the confirmation.

Of course not. Eddard cannot cancel attaching Dragon Skull to him just like he can't cancel attaching Milk for example.

The word "choose" is required.

chosen

Ned cannot cancel anything that does not specifically use the word "choose."
