So I have a few questions about situations a friend and I ran into while playing with the core set.

1. If a player or an attachment is kneeling, are their text box's then inactive while they're knelt?

2. For location cards now, (2 part question): a) If it has +1 gold and +1 influence, if you kneel for influence do you also add gold to your treasury, or is it only one or the other?
b) If the card says "-1 to summon any x house type" and it also has +1 influence, if you kneel the card to get the influence, will it also deduct from the next card you played if you used the influence you gained for another reason?

3. A situation accured where maester aemon and john snow were both on the field and valhur morgulus was played, are you able to kneel aemon to save snow?

4. Robert baratheon and renly declare a military challenge, is shae then able to kneel in the middle of the challenege to also kneel robert before defenders are declared?

5. Rob stark is in play with 2 str, and poisoned wine is in play (which lowers characters str by 2 and says "any phase: kneel 1 influence to move poisoned wine to another eligible character), and flame-kissed was attached to rob (which says "if attached character has no other attachments, attached character gets =2 str and is killed if its str is 0) can you then kneel an influence to attach poisoned wine to him so that he wont die since another attachment is equipped to him, because flame-kissed says it will kill them IF there are no other attachments? More clearly, can I pay the 1 influence and have poisoned wine attached to rob simultaneously to save him? Note: It isn't a response, its an any phase.

6. what happenes when you win a military challenege where the defender defends with only 1 character, and in the attacking force a character has deadly? or a skill like rob stark where you can choose to kill a character?

1. No. Further, any abilities in their text can be triggered, provided kneeling the card is not part of the cost.

2. The gold is added to what you get in the Marshalling phase. It doesn't matter if the card is standing or knelt.

To use a reducer that requires you to kneel the card (i.e., Eastern Fiefdoms), the card must be standing. If you've already knelt it for influence, you can't use it for the reduction. Kneeling it for influence only gives you the influence, as you are kneeling the card for that, not to trigger the reducing effect. However, if you stand the card again after kneeling it for either purpose, you may kneel it to use it again for either purpose.

3. Yes. Or Aemon himself or any other character that has the Night's Watch trait at the time you want to trigger the save.

4. Once Robert and Renly are declared as attackers, they kneel (unless some other card effect allows them to remain standing). The Framework Event for declaring attackers includes the kneel. As such, once Robert has been declared, it's too late to use a card effect to kneel either one in order to prevent them from participating in the challenge. There's no last-in-first-out stack in this game.

You can use Shae to kneel Robert during the Player Action Window prior to the beginning of challenge, though. That would keep him from participating until he stands again.

5. If I understand you question correctly, you want to trigger the Any Phase action on Poisoned Wine to move it to Rob so as to neuter the Flame-Kissed already attached to him, thus preventing him from dying. This being the case, I assume the Poisoned Wine came from your opponent's deck.

As a matter of first principles, you can't do that as you do not control Poisoned Wine. Only it's controlled can trigger the ability to move it.

Moreever, even if you could trigger Poisoned Wine's ability, it wouldn't save Rob. As soon as the Flame-Kissed attached to him and there were no other attachments on him, he became Moribund:Dead Pile. Unless you were able to trigger a save that also raised his strength (the only kind you can trigger when he's got a terminal effect on him like this), he will go to your dead pile at Step 6 of the action that attached Flame-Kissed to him. You can't trigger another action before the current action is complete.

6. Claim is resolved in the Framework Action Window for challenge resolution, then Deadly resolves in Step 4 for that FAW. Thus, in a MIL challenge, your opponent can kill a lone blocker for claim before Deadly resolves, leaving no participating characters to die for Deadly. This makes Deadly rather more useful in INT and POW challenges than in MIL.

thank you so much for the quick reply! that really clears things up!!
