Ser Davos Seaworth Question - Core Set

[orclrob 0]

Ser Davos Seaworth's Response is:  Save Ser Davos Seaworth from being killed, then pay 1 gold or return him to his owner's hand.

 

Does this mean that if we save Ser Davos by some means, that we then need to pay 1 gold to keep him there?  Or is there some erratta that I am missing?  I would think "Kneel to Save Ser Davos Seaworth from being killed, then pay 1 gold or return him to his owner's hand" would be appropriate.

Thanks in advance..

There's no errata. Maybe what you're missing is the implication of the fact that his ability is a "Response." Since it is a Response, is only activates when you trigger it. So, if you use his Response to save him, then yeah, you have to pay the 1 gold or return him to hand. But if you save him with some other effect like a duplicate or something like that, then you haven't activated his effect and you don't have to pay the gold.

This is by far the quickest I've ever seen a question answered.
