A couple of quick questions about attachments

By AlKusanagi, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

I've just gotten into the game recently, so I've got the first of what may be many questions:

1. For cards like Poisoned Wine which state "kneel X influence to move it to another character," does that effect apply to the owner of the card, or the character it is currently attached to? I'd assume it was the owner, but there was some debate when we tried to play it.

2. For characters with text like "No attachments" or "No attachments except weapons," would they be considered illegal targets for harmful attachments that opponents play like the previously mentioned Poisoned Wine?

3. Is there a limit to the number or type of attachments a character can have if the card doesn't state otherwise? For example, could a character have three weapons and a pack of direwolves attached to it?

Thanks!

Welcome to the game!

1. Kneeling X influence is the cost to trigger the effect, and costs may only be paid by the card's controller, who, in this case, is the owner.

2. No attachments might seem like a drawback at first, but it can be considered a form of defense against precisely cards like Poisoned Wine. "No attachments" means no attachments of any kind.

3. Robb Stark with a pack of Direwolves, Ice, Longclaw, a Poisoned Blade, and a Broken Sword is a perfectly legal play scenario, even if it is thematically ridiculous. :)

Just for clarity, putting poisoned wine on an opponents character or moving it around through its ability does not change the controller, it is always the owner of the card unless specifically directed by card text. You still control the attachment, even if it is on an opponents character.

and only the controller can trigger abilities of cards (unless otherwise stated), in this case the moving the wine around.

Thanks! I figured it was the owner, but I've played games before where the attached card could pay costs for certain items for a kind of "hot potato" effect.
