can dragon skull attach it to joffrey???

Dragon Skull:

Text:

Item ico_targaryen.png only.Attached character gets -2 STR and is killed if its STR is 0. Response: After Dragon Skull comes out of Shadows,attach it to an opponent's character or discard it from play.

Joffrey Baratheon

Text:

Lord Immune to triggered effects. Response: After an opponent's character is knelt,pay 1 gold to stand Joffrey Baratheon. Then,he claims 1 power.

not sure about dragon skull in particular, cause of the response tab, but you can feel free to place as many burn attachments as you want on him, since they are not triggered effects, and thus do not get nullified by his immunity to such.

Yeah, but I bet he asked about Dragon Skull in particular because the attaching is done via a Response.

I'm not quite sure myself, but it seems to me that the Response on Dragon Skull doesn't directly interact with Joffrey, it affects Dragon Skull itself, so I'd venture that Joffrey's immunity doesn't help him here. An attachment attached to Joffrey could be removed by a Response after all, so I don't see why a Response that attaches an attachment to him would be prevented.

Yeah. I was leaning towards that, but immunities are so intricately worded that I couldn't be sure.

It doesn't target Joff and it doesn't directly affect him. The triggered effect can put an attachment on him.
