Princes of the Sun clarifications

By DerBarchen, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

Hey guys, sorry if these are noobish questions but I couldnt find the anwsers to them in the FAQ/Errata so I thought Id ask here.

I just recently bought the PotS expansion and I have two questions about it. Firstly, how does Vengful work exactly? Can I defend with a character that has Vengful to lose a challange and then stand her? Could I attack with a weak Vengful character to thin out my oponents defenses and then stand her because I lost the challange?

Secondly, how does Arys Oeakheart's ability affect my oponent? It says I can discard an Ally or Mercenary when he comes into play but I remember reading somewhere that you can only discard cards you control unless the ability defines your oponent to be eligible for the discard, does that mean I can only discards Ally/Mercenary cards I control with his ability?

Thanks in advance for the hep! =)

Yep, that's the purpose of this keyword.

"After you lose a challenge as the defender, you may stand any number of cards with the “Vengeful” keyword that you control."

This rule only applies in regard to cost of the effect, i.e. you can pay only with cards you control, e.g. "discard location to do something".

Ser Arys Oakheart's ability has no cost - you can discard any Ally or Mercenary character, yours or an opponent's.

"After you lose a challenge as the defender, you may stand any number of cards with the “Vengeful” keyword that you control."

Ah yes, I remember seeing that, thanks for the reminder!

Thanks for the rest of the anwsers too, very helpfull! As a complete asside: As a forum nublete I was wondering, how do you quote individual pieces of a previous post without copying the Whole post? Thanks! =)

Unfortunately this forum software doesn't make it easy. Start by quoting the whole post then copy the top [ QUOTE efidm=#] bbcode and put it before each section you would like to quote and directly after each section put the bottom [ /QUOTE] bbcode.

Huh, this is Not working for me o.O

I tried putting a line of text from your post into code like So:
