To Be A Stag

By sjchua, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

House Baratheon only.
Play only if you have at least 1 Power Struggle plot card in your used pile.
Challenges: Stand a character you control to return a character with a lower printed STR from your discard pile to your hand.

This is prob a silly question but can I play this card to stand one of my characters even when I have no legal card to return from my discard pile? e.g. no characters in discard pile or none with a lower printed STR

My gut feel is no. I suspect I've it mixed up with some card which says kneel X but you can activate the effect even if X is already kneeling... Still can't differentiate between when the instructions require you to do something and when they are simply interested in the end 'product'.

From the FAQ:

(v1.3) To Be a Stag F46 and To Be a Dragon F48
These cards cannot be played if there is no
eligible character to return from the discard/
dead pile.
