Title: Promise Keeping/Threats
Post by: Celebrimbor on September 16, 2011, 09:40:46 AM

All right...I need convincing that when a character dies during a skirmish involving shelob or gollum, that when threats are placed, they trigger promise keeping.  Here's my reasoning:  How can that happen?  Are not threat wounds placed AFTER the skirmish is resolved, therefore promise keeping cannot be triggered because it can only be triggered during a skirmish?

Even the rulebook says as soon as either character (companion/minion) is removed (i.e. discarded/killed) the skirmish is immediately resolved.

Unless maybe someone could counter this and explain to me, thanks.

Use WTK's beloved search function :P. Here's one http://lotrtcgdb.com/forums/index.php/topic,3491.0.html. I like TheJord's answer on the 6th post.

Also the Comprehensive rulebook is quite explicit about the end of skirmish:
"A skirmish phase ends after all actions triggered by winning or losing that skirmish have resolved."

Until you meet Faramir, Son of Denethor...
Until you meet any form of condition removal.
Until your opponent realises how to handle a Ninja Gollum.

The deck si strong but certainly NOT over powered. There is sim[ply too much removal to handle Promise Keeping in the maneuver, not to mention it costs a lot of cards to effective use They Stole It.
