Is the response triggered when moving resources via Errand-rider?

Any reason it wouldn´t be? Errand-rider is a card effect that can add resources. Even if said resources are taken from elsewhere it is still added to the hero in question

Transcription of relevant section (starting at 32:44 in the video above, in case my link fails to start at the right timecode):

Mitch: "And definitely worth mentioning is that Caleb Grace has verified for us that Errand Rider, which moves one resource from one character to another, does NOTactually trigger this response." (That is, Harbor Master's ability, which was the card being discussed at that point in the video.)

Go figure.

Well that is a bit odd. Not what I would have guessed but since they choose to differentiate between moving and adding, I guess this is how we must play it. Not that I have been using this card yet anyway

I'm guessing that this wouldn't work with Resourceful, either?

I would think Resourceful would work with this card, because resourceful is giving a hero an extra resource, but I don't ever see this card ever getting a decent amount of defense from it's ability to be useful. It has never hit the table in any of my games.

This is what the new faq states:
Adding a resource to a hero’s pool is the act of taking a resource from the token bank and placing it in that hero’s pool. Adding a resource always results in the total number of resources controlled by the players being increased.

Moving a resource is the act of taking a resource from one hero’s pool and placing it in another hero’s pool. This does not count as ‘adding’ a resource because it did not take a new resource from the token bank and the total number of resources controlled by the players did not increase.

So clearly errand rider doesnt work. About resourceful i have some doubt and if i have to choose for me it works cause it's a card effect and it takes resource from the bank which means adding.

Card effect is also an effect from the hero itself(such as theodred or bifur)?

I would think Resourceful would work with this card, because resourceful is giving a hero an extra resource, but I don't ever see this card ever getting a decent amount of defense from it's ability to be useful. It has never hit the table in any of my games.

I agree with you: Horrible card! Using her ability or not, after all she's gonna die badly against most enemies, then, her ability is meaningless! Why they just didn't make her ability working with willpower instead?

Never used this card.
