Tywin Lannister/Rains of Autumn

By ed00011, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

Is Tywin Lannister's text also considered income bonus and therefore Rains of Autumn prevent it?

Income Bonuses and Penalties


Some cards (mostly locations) have a large gold
coin marked with a value of +X or -X in their
rules text. These cards modify the income value
on your revealed plot card, even when kneeling.

What he meant to say is: no, Tywin is not affected by Rains of Autumn. I think his old text back in the CCG days actually showed a (+2) gold icon such that he would have been affected by Rains of Autumn. However, his new wordy LCG text circumvents both Rains of Autumn and the taxation phase!
