Rules Q&A
- Q: do bowed followers still have their abilities ? ie: Shield Wall, if I "fear" the unit, the wall bows. Can I now target the unit with ranged attacks ?
A: Traits remain fully active even when a card is bowed. Jeff Alexander, "post for 23 September 2002", 25 Sep 2002 - Q: Shield Wall is a follower with the special ability that this unit may not be targeted by ranged attacks.
Personal Standard is an item that says the personality it is attached to may be targeted as if it has no followers attached.
When both are on the same personality, which one trumps?
A: The Shield Wall. Jeff Alexander, "replies to 22-23 September 2001", 24 Sep 2001 - Q: Reply to viewtopic.php?f=59&t=110940
I do not understand the response to the question.
I am pretty sure I clearly stated that I was "paying" 1 gold for the EQUIP action.
I will step through the exact process:
1. Announce the Equip Action 2. Bow Abundant Farmlands to Produce 1 Gold and add it to the gold Pool 3. Choose to Pay 1 gold for the equip action, removing 1 gold from the gold pool 4. Resolve the remaining effects of the Equip Action, attaching the 0 gold cost follower Shield Wall.
5. I "Equiped" a follower "paying 1 or more gold" so Lonely Dojo gets +1 GP.
If the intent was to exclude 0 gold cost followers, then it should have been worded "After you Equip a Follower with 1 or more gold cost, gain +1 GP".
A: According to p36 of the Comprehensive Rules, the Equip ability is: Repeatable Open, (*): Attach an attachment card, with Gold Cost equal to the amount you paid, from your hand to your target Personality.
If you pay 1g when Equipping, you cannot choose a 0g Follower as the attachment. Alex Jones, "Lonely Dojo", 20 Nov 2014
