H there,
I've just started playing aGoT, and have a quick query about trggered responses.
I know this might seem really basic and evident, however, after re-reading the book it didn't seem that the term was quantified. So i'm asking if it basically means - responses, or is there a more correct answer, for instance traits or passive abilities etc.
Anyway, thanks for the hhelp.
Cheers
DS
Is there a particular card or effect that refers to "triggered responses" that is causing the confusion?
"Respone" effects are those that begin with the bold word "Response." All Responses are triggered by nature (that is, all of them only initiate because a player actively decides to initiate them).
FAQ (3.6) Triggered Effects
Any effect that a player chooses to execute is
considered a "triggered effect." Thus any effect
that begins with a "Phase:" or "Response:"
is a triggered effect. Also note that playing
an event card is thus considered a triggered
effect. A "triggered ability" is a triggered effect
printed on a card already in play.
Response's are just a type of triggered effect a player can activate/trigger once a certain conditional has resolved. Rather than ones that requires a specific phase or Event cards.
Ok thanks totalgit,
That seems to really clear it up.
So essentially any BOLD: Blah ability is a triggered response and any 'trait' is a triggered ability.
For instance, Aeron Damphair (Greyjoy starter) would be a triggered ability, but 'Superior claim', 'Red vengeance', 'Obey the king', Cersei Lannister (Base set), and Winterfell kennels would all be triggered responses, despite being an assortment of (forgive the comparison) sorceries, instants and interupts?
Is that about the right of it?

Ok, so i can't find the edit post button.
I got this wrong. I missed the triggered ability is a sub set of triggered effect.
So Aeron from above is just a passive effect text, and everythign else are triggered effects, and additionally Cersei and the Kennels are triggered abilities??
That should be right - i think?
cheers again
