Banner of the storm timing / Reinforcements

By Francisco G., in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

You win a chalenge........ does the banner attach before or after the vigilant gets an opportunity to trigger? what I want to know is if I can stand the character in the same challenge where I attached the banner? We play it that they don't stand.

Another question...... the reinforcements are events that transform into characters.......where do they go when they die? I guess to the discard because the lasting effect that made them characters cease to exist when they leave play.....the problem is that when they become moribund they are on the way to the dead pile and still in play.

Well, any help is welcome

(3.23) Card Type Changes to Character
If for any reason, a non-character card that is
functioning as a character is killed, said card is
placed in the discard pile instead. Effects that
trigger from said card being killed may still
apply.

So when a Reinforcement is killed, it actually enters the "moribund:discard pile" state before being physically removed from the table per the replacement effect outlined in the above rule.

And that would be the correct way to play. Passive effects always come before Response effects. So the passive resolution of "Vigilant" comes before you ever get the chance to trigger the Response on the Bannerman and attach him. You gain Vigilant too late to stand the attached character for the same challenge that allowed you to attach the Banner.

That being said, Once the banner is attached, there's nothing stopping you from declaring another challenge winning it and standing the character due to it's now Vigilant status. One of my fav tricks with my bara deck. Hit someone for an intrigue, attach banner, procede to make Military and Power challenges with my Nassty Renown weilding knights.

In your example above, you did mean "hit someone for power, attach banner, proceed to make military and intrigue challenges...," right? Because Banner for the Storm only attaches when you win a power challenge?

Yes, KTOM. That was a mistype in my rush to get my thoughts posted. Thank you for catching that for me.
