a few quick questions

By The Red Viper, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

1.first off with king balons host where characters lose all keywords if my agenda is giving all wildlings stealth would the wildlings still have stealth or would king balons host override the agenda?

2. With dagmer cleftjaw to count the warships for dominence does the warship have to be "standing" or can it be knelt and still count because of his effect?

3. with the laughing storm in play if the control of laughing storm is using val but cant play the card does the card still get discarded

1. Characters lose ALL keywords. So those Wildlings will no longer have stealth.

2. Warships count as 2 STR for dominance, standing or otherwise.

3. While The Laughing Storm is standing, cards cannot be discarded from your hand. "Cannot" is absolute, no cards are leaving your hand, even if you might want them to, say for discarding a card to get an icon back from The Scourge. With Val, you keep it. Note, you can discard your hand, as the game treats "your hand" as a different entity than the cards in your hand. So if you needed to cancel a Narrow Escape or you lose initiate when playing Take Them By Surprise, you can discard the hand.
