If the Guard Dog, while attached to Roland, defeats an enemy via its 1-damage ability, does that trigger Roland's special to discover a Clue? In other words, does Roland still get "credit" for the kill? I would think yes, as the Guard Dog is Roland's asset and therefore is really no different than defeating an enemy with a Machete or .45, but I thought it was still worth asking. Thanks!
Roland's base ability doesn't require him to fight; it just requires him to have defeated an enemy at his location. Because the Guard Dog is Roland's action, Roland is the one who controls (and plays) the Reaction Trigger of the Guard Dog doing damage, which means he counts as the "you" for any card effects. So if the Guard Dog's reaction defeats an enemy, Roland most certainly can pick up a clue from his location if there is one.
JDK and Gaffa, thank you both for your replies. I am not sure we have a resolution, but this at least makes me feel the question was justified.
Roland's ability trigger is "After you defeated an enemy"
The 'you' here is the controller. If his ability required the Roland character/card to do the defeating, it would likely be self-referential, eg "After Roland defeats and enemy".
Now this game does create a little Character/controller confusion, since you are playing a single character in a more roleplaying sense than for example playing the heroes in lotr, but still the language is fairly standard and it would be strangely sloppy to use what they wrote to mean the Roland card specifically had to do the defeating.
You/Your
*An ability on a card in play referencing “you†or “your†refers to the investigator who controls, is engaged with, or is currently interacting with the card.
