A couple of question on attachments

By ultimax, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

So our playing group tonight ran into some issues about the wording on several issues related to attachments and I was hoping people are clarify for us. Thanks for the help.

1. I have a maester and my opponent has attached Locked Away on it. I then marshall Leyton Hightower which says "immune to opponents events & attachments," What happens to the opponent's Lock Away? Does it stay on my maester and just does not affect him or does it fall off and discarded because of the immunity?

2. I have a character in play that is not a maester. However, apprentice collar is attached to him making him a maester. Furthermore, several chains are attached to him. An opponent discards my apprentice collar. What happens to the other chains attached to my character? Do they stay attached and just not function or are they all discarded?

1. This one I'm not 100% sure on, but my understanding of immunity to attachments is not that they prevent attachments from being, well, attached, but that they make it so the attachment's effect is not acting on the immune character. I may be wrong, but I believe Locked Away will stay attached, but won't be able to affect your character.

2. If they lose their apprentice collar, the chains fall off.

Thanks for the quick response. Is there a way to protect my apprentice collar from being discarded? IE I was looking for a card that protects attachments somehow.

That's correct.

As for protecting attachments, KL Davos can specifically save attachments, but he won't do you much good in this case, because the saved attachment will have to be moved to a different character. Apart from that, cancelling the discarding effects is probably your best bet.
