Zero Claim, is it a success?

By Ivengar, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

Lets say I have a plot that has a claim of 0 and I do a military challenge with a character with renown and STR 6. My opponent doesn't or can't block. Do I get one power for unopposed and 1 for renown? Or is zero claim the same as zero STR and an atomatic fail?

You do win power fon unopposed challenges and Renown. However, your opponent won't kill any of their characters (unless you raise your claim value during the challenge). Your total STR doesn't change at all.

Thanks Eloi,

Yah I knew I would not kill anything because the claim was zero and only mentioned a STR value so as to make clear I was focusing on the claim being zero and not the STR.
