Direct Assault

[stark/Baratheon Event]
House Stark or House Baratheon only.
Challenges: Choose 1 character with a M and a P icon that is attacking alone. For the duration of the challenges, that character gets +2 STR. If you win the challenge, instead of the normal claim effects, choose a non-unique location controlled by the losing opponent. Take control of that location.

Can I use Direct Assault on a character that is attacking me? Then I win as a defender then take a location from the attacker.....is that ok?

Cards that you play are referential to you. So in this case, you cannot use it, since you are not the attacker. Direct Assault is an attack card, not a defense one.

Yes. But it would be not good idea, since there is no claim if defender wins (unless Doran is in play).

So you guys mean STR+2 is ok for any attacker, but only valid for Location take when you are the attacker.

Thank you guys.
