Term Characters
Rules Text When in play, characters participate in challenges against other Houses by either attacking or defending.
Errata Following is a breakdown of the different elements of a character ability. These items are useful in understanding how character abilities interact with different cards and the wide array of different effects in the game. Character abilities can contain up to four different elements (though most have only some of these elements). These are: Play Restriction, Cost, Target, and Effect. The Knight of Flowers (ATOS U37) is an example of a character card that contains all four elements of a character ability.

Play Restrictions
A play restriction is an element that controls when or how often the character ability may be triggered. The Knight of Flowers ability has one play restriction. In its text, "Challenges:" restricts which phase the ability may be triggered. If a character ability has the text "Any Phase:" it is a way of specifying that the ability does not have a phase play restriction (though it may have other play restrictions). If you cannot meet the play restrictions of a character ability, you may not trigger that character ability. Not all character abilities have play restrictions.

Cost
The cost of a character ability is the resources you must pay in order to trigger the effect. The Knight of Flowers’s ability has a cost of "kneel 2 influence." Other costs might include kneeling a character or discarding cards. An easy way to identify the cost is the formula "Do X to do Y" in which the first part, do X, is the cost. Note that some older character abilities are not templated this way. If you cannot pay the cost of a character ability, you may not trigger its effect. Not all character abilities have a cost.

Target
The target identifies what card or cards the character ability's effect is applied to. The word choose is always used to denote a target. If a character ability does not have the word "choose," then it does not have a target. Knight of Flowers has a target "choose a player." If the ability read "Stand all characters," then it would not be considered to have a target (because it does not include the word "choose.") If you do not have a valid target for the character ability, you may not trigger its effects. Not all character abilities have a target.

Effect
The effect of a character ability is what the ability does when triggered. Knight of Flowers has an effect of "...kneel a standing non-Army character he or she controls. If that character's STR is lower than that of Knight of Flowers, it is discarded from play." Thus, the Knight of Flowers affects a character. Note that some character abilities may have detrimental effects in addition to beneficial effects, which should not be confused with a cost. For example, a character ability might read "Draw three cards. Kneel three of your characters." Kneeling your characters is an additional effect, not a cost, because it was not phrased in "Do X to do Y" format. Thus you could still trigger this effect even if you had 2 characters in play. If the ability had read, "Kneel three of your characters to draw three cards," then kneeling your characters would be a cost, and you would have to kneel three characters to trigger the effect. All character abilities have an effect, and may be triggered whether or not the effect has any result.

Additional Notes
Some character abilities may have two or more completely separate effects, each with its own play restrictions, cost, or targets. Separate effects will always be separated in a different paragraph. Treat each separate effect as its own card. Unless the character card specifically says otherwise, one effect has no impact upon the other.

Question: If a char is killed or discarded and then saved, am I right in assuming that it "comes back" standing?
   
Answer: No.
If a character is killed or discarded and is then saved, the kill or discard is considered to never have happened. The character never leaves play, so all its attachments and power stay on it, any lasting effects remain, and it does not change its kneeling or standing status.

However, if a character is completely killed or discarded, leaves play, and is then actually brought back from the dead/discard pile with something like A Hostage Rescued or From Winter's Touch Returned, it would return to play standing.

Long and short; when a character comes into play, it comes into play standing. But a saved character never leaves play, so does not come into play and remains kneeling or standing (however it was when it was saved).

Question: Can a character that has just come into play attack during the folliwing attack phase? (same turn he is played)or is there some sort of summoning sickness?
   
Answer: There is no "summoning sickness" in this game. As soon as a character (or any card) hits the table, it can use its abilities, attack, defend, or whatever.

Question: Can a player initiate a challenge with a knelt character that does not kneel to attack? Since he doesn't have to pay the cost of kneeling the attacking character, in theory it would be legal...
   
Answer: No.

The rules specifically state that you cannot declare a character that is already kneeling as an attacker or defender. Since the character does not pass this "play restriction" check before the cost would be paid, they are not considered eligible attackers when you get to the point of kneeling the character to pay the "cost" of attacking.

So, kneeling might be a "cost" of declaring an attacker that a "does not kneel" character doesn't have to pay, but since there is nothing in "does not kneel" that directly contradicts the rule that a character must be standing in order to BE declared in the first place, you cannot break the rules by declaring an attacker that is already knelt.
