Title: Mad Thing vs Unhasty
Post by: MuadDib85 on November 30, 2010, 03:33:18 PM
If the Free peoples player chooses to let the shadow player assign Mad Thing instead adding a burden or +3 strength..

Can the shadow player assign Gollum to Lindenroot if he chooses? (Triggering Lindenroot's Assignment text?)

Or are Unhasty companions safe from shadow player assigning?

Quote from: Comprehensive Rules
The Free Peoples player cannot assign a character with this keyword to a skirmish unless it is at its home site (see ally) or when a [Gandalf] card allows it do so.
Shadow players may assign any leftover unassigned minions to unhasty companions.

Does that answer your question?

Yeah, sort of.. Does Lindenroot then have to discard 2 cards (or exert a hobbit) if the shadow player assigns a minion to him?

Or does that only happen if the free peoples player assigns him?

That only happens if you use that assignment action. If you don't and Lindenroot happens to be assigned some other way (for example, Between Nazgul and Prey, a Counts But One variant that would work for Ents, or in your example) then nothing happens.

It would be as you suggest if it said "Each time this companion is assigned to a skirmish, discard 2 cards from hand or exert an unbound Hobbit". But as it's an assignment action, you can either use it or not.

Thranduil is on point. Just echoing that no discard is necessary.
