Rules Q&A
- Q: Can I summarize the (regular) Recruit procedure by the following steps? 1) Announce that you use the Recruit action. 2) Produce gold (as much as you want). 3) Select the card you are Recruiting. 4) Choose whether to apply the Proclaim Rule; if yes, the action becomes "a Proclaim action". 5) Resolve (check restrictions, bring into play, etc.).
I believe that Slander and Turning the Story can be used at step 5 to prevent the proclaimed Personality from entering play. (They're identical, right?) Is this how they work now? If yes, what happens to the gold produced at step 2: does it disappear during step 5 or is it still available in the Gold Pool until the end of the phase?

A: Slander and Turning the Story will have their Oracle texts updated to properly reflect that they're meant to affect the honor gain from the Proclaim action (which is what the Proclaim action referred to pre-Ivory) rather than the entirety of the Recruit action.
