Timing question with Kingsguard Jaime and Gregor Clegane

By SerArthurDayne, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

Hello,

Just a quick question, during the challenge phase, say I am acting first and Jaime has 3 power on him. I first initiate a military challenge with Ser Gregor Clegane who's text reads " While Gregor is attacking characters can not be saved" I then kneel Jaime to kneel a non-participating three strength character with a Bodyguard or duplicate on him.

The question is, will this kill the character and not allow him to save it with the attachment or duplicate since Gregor is attacking ?

Hi!

I honestly don't know how Jaime changed anything in your challenge except that he knelt that character.

Now, if Jaime had 4 power on him, that character would be discarded from play and cannot be saved from that effect.

Okay right, sorry I mean Jaime would need 4 power, but the timing would work with gregor attacking, you can trigger Jaimes ability to kill a character and prevent it from being saved is all I was curious about.

Is there any reason you would think this wouldn't work?

"While Gregor is attacking," - this part is clearly true

"characters cannot be saved." - not much to parse here. Characters cannot be saved.

Seems pretty straightforward.

That will all work, though remember, no one is dying. Jaime's ability will discard the character, not kill it.
