Frozen Outpost + standing defender

By Saturnine, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

Can I use Frozen Outpost to give a Str boost to a defending character that is already standing? My feeling is yes, because the Str boost is not linked by a "then" to the successful standing of the chosen character, but I'd like to make sure.

Yes you can, for exactly the reason you gave. :)
