The Scourge

By HastAttack, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

The Scourge - ODG F55

Any Phase: Kneel The Scourge to choose 1 character. That character loses a Military, an Intrigue, and a Power icon until the end of the phase.
Response: After a character loses an icon from The Scourge, choose and discard 1 card from your hand to have that character gain that icon until the end of the phase. Any player may trigger this effect.

1) I take it that the Scourge only removes one of each icon that the character has - a character with multiple copies of icons has some protection

2) Any player can discard a card to give back an icon to a character who has had icons removed due to the Scourge

3) A player could discard 3 cards to give 3 icons back (as seperate responses for each discard)

4) Only icons that were removed can be given back

Can different players give the same icon back to a character who has had icons removed - if so, I assume the character only gets back one copy of that icon

i.e.

I use Scourge to remove character Xs icons

Player A discards a card to give character X back a power icon

Player B (Me) wants to discard a card to also give character X back a power icon (i.e. so that I can discard Darkstar and put him into play)

Is this allowed

thanks

IF practical

However , different players may not trigger The Scourge's response for the same icon. The rule is "one Response per trigger," not "one Response per player per trigger." Said another way, the inherent "once per Response opportunity" limit in the rules is measured from the point of view of the card being triggered , not from the point of view of the person doing the triggering. With The Scourge, all players are allowed to trigger the same card - but that doesn't change the fact that there is only the one card. So, the Response on The Scourge can only be used once per icon lost, no matter who decides to pay the actual cost and trigger it.
