I am not understanding the POWER claim. Do I get the power if they pay an influence or gold? Or do I get the POWER if they refuse or can't pay a gold or influence?
When you choose a character to kneel, the opponent who controls that character can choose to pay 1 gold or kneel 1 influence to stop that character from kneeling. Then, if they do either of these things you claim 1 power. So, when you use this card you will either kneel the chosen character or claim 1 power, depending on what your opponent chooses.
It's probably worth noting that if the opponent has influence and/or gold available, they can still choose to let the character kneel (thus preventing you from claiming power).
Great but the word I am having problem with also is "instead".
After Brothel Guard stands, choose and kneel an opponent's character unless its controller kneels 1 influence or pays you 1 gold. If he or she does, instead claim 1 power for your House.
It seems that "instead" of the GOLD I would get I would get a POWER "instead".
The way I read this is is, "if he or she does (kneel) instead claim 1 power for your house. If he doesn't kneel instead get a GOLD or he pays 1 influence."
I can see what you're saying, but then this raises the question of what happened to the gold that the opponent gave you?
The way I see it, the instead replaces teh kneel effect, so a better worded effect would read like:
"After Brother Guard stands, choose and kneel an opponent's character. The controller of that character may choose to kneel 1 influence or pay you 1 gold, and if they do you claim 1 power for your house instead of kneeling the chosen character."
That makes a lot of sense. Thanks.
