Underworld40k 51 Posted July 20, 2012 Just a quick question, the latest version of bran reads 'kneel a direwolf to stand bran stark. Then bran stark gains (choose 1) a military icon, stealth or deadly until the end of the phase.If bran becomes a direwolf is he a valid target for his own ability FROM STANDING. ie, bran is standing, can i kneel him to stand him and gain 1 effect of my choice and repeate till he has all 3?

Staton 1 Posted July 20, 2012 Yeah actually. You kneel Bran during step 1 as a cost. By the time you get to step 3 he is already kneeling and stands. Epic! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's actually very thematic (although unintendedly so, I would bet), imho. Bran "becomes" a direwolf, and is suddenly able to do a whole lot more than he can when he is a boy.

Amongst the Nedliest of effects, for sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davedave 0 Posted August 4, 2014 Is this still true with FAQ (3.6) Triggered Effects: […] In order to trigger an effect, the possibility that at least some independent aspect of the effect (as opposed to the cost) is able to resolve must exist. If, given the current game state it is impossible (aside from cancels) for at least one aspect of the effect to resolve, the effect cannot be triggered. This check is made during step "b" of an action's initiation, when all play restrictions are checked. […] My interpretation would be, that during step "b", checking for play restrictions, Bran is still standing. Meaning it is not allowed to be triggered, as the cost to kneel Bran is only implemented at step "e". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
