Off the top of my head the only characters I can see this affecting are those that can attack/defend or count their dominance strength when knelt. Given that knelt attacking/defending is mostly a Clansman ability, I don't see how this card is useful for Lannisters?

Well I mean...most characters kneel to attack/defend. The primary uses I see for this are stopping weenie characters from attacking alone e.g. carrion bird, or combining with pentoshi manor to force opponents to remove 3 str characters from challenges.

Ah... yes... for some reason I failed to remember that basic mechanic...

I'm thinking in using it in a Tunnels deck, where the -1 is not a big problem for my boosted characters. It would also make Pentoshi stronger than usual.

 

What do you think?
