Rules Q&A
- Q: ...who or what permanently gains the reaction? Do you gain that reaction as a player? Does your stronghold gain that reaction? Something else?
A: The same Person that is addressed whenever a card says, "Gain 3 Honor," or "Discard a card," without explicitly specifying someone - the Player who took the Action. Martin Lund, "Rules for 7 September 2004", 10 Sep 2004
