Change Control questions

By Ericnando, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

Hello all,

1 - what happens to the power points that are on top of a character when it changed its control to another player? Are discarded? Even if the character back to its owner?

2 - (3.27) Taking Control of a Card With Attachments Any time control of a card switches via a card effect during a game, the new controlling player gains control of said card and all duplicates.

Unless specified in game text, the new controlling player does not gain control of any attachments on said character.

what happens with the Attachment? is discarded?

thanks

In neither case are the attachments (or the power) discarded. In this case, the power remains on the character and continues to count towards its controller's victory total (controller, not owner), while attachments remain on the character and remain under the control of the player that played them.

So if you take control of an opponent's character with, say, a "Widow's Wail" on it, the attachment stays attached and continues to give the character +2STR, the choice of wether to put power on the card by infamy or to trigger the response remain entirely up (and refer to) the controlling player of the attachment, not of the character.

One other example worth giving is if you take control of a character/location with an attachment that had the text "attach to a character/location you control". As soon as that requirement ceases to be met (and you've stolen the location/char from your opponent), that particular attachment would be discarded because it no longer meets the requirements to remain attached.

so if an opponent using horn of dragons (SOS f 70)and take contrle a dragon that has power over him, that power remains in the card?

Yes, it stays.
