A player, 22 November 2012
Hi,
Let's say Player A has 3 Personalities on a battlefield, one of them having attached Emerald Armor exp 2. Player B plays The Power of a Word for its Battle action. The question: does the Personality with Emerald Armor exp 2 stay on the battlefield, The Power of a Word having resolved on him unsuccessfully due to his attachment's trait, or does he move home along with the rest?
The Power of a Word (...) Battle: Target one to three enemy dishonorable Personalities: The shadow of their shame shall fall upon their shoulders. Move them home.
The Emerald Armor - exp2 (...) Other players may not target this Personality with actions while there is another Personality at his location who is a legal target for the action.
Thanks.

If there are other dishonorable Personalities in the army, the Personality with the Emerald Armor attached is not a valid target for The Power of a Word.
