Grunts and tactics cards

[Roirin]

I am looking for clarification on the grunts cannot be chosen by friendly tactics cards rule. Does this mean that they have no effect on any friendly tactics cards?

If a grunt is KO ed can elektra play vendetta?

If a grunt is KO ed can you bring the discarded iron bound books back to your hand?

[marcus]

If a Grunt is KO removed from the board do you get "iron-bound books of shuma-gorath" back to your hand? 

[Hodges]

Will Iron Bound Books be returned to hand when a grunt is KO’d? In the Grunts/Deal with the Devil question it was rules they can’t be the target of effects of tactics cards, this seems like the inverse, the grunts are affecting the tactics card?

Hi,

 

Would KO'ing a Grunt return the tactic card "Books of Shuma-Gorath" from the discard pile back to your hand?

 

With kind regards

It does not, no.

Yes, there are limitations in place, but that doesn't mean there is zero interaction with allied tactic card rules.

Yes to both of these.

The Grunt is not being chosen during either of these interactions

Thanks, for cards that do not have a target a character will grunts benefit from the card?  Will the ninjas be able to use their mystic defence for physical attacks when iron bound books is played?

If the Grunt does not need to play the card and is not specifically chosen by the allied card, they can potentially benefit from the card.

Yes, they would be able to benefit from that tactics card in this way.

So I am assuming they can benefit from cards like A-force assemble as they are not paying and they are a "bystander" for the card that just happens to benefit from it ?

Yes, a Grunt can potentially receive extra defence dice due to a different character having played a-force assemble.

When playing Mission Objective either actively or reactively, can Grunts be chosen to receive the objective token? (As long as it is one they can hold)
