Council of Elrond

I've been reading in the netrep forum that strider's replacement ability overules the obligation of playing only one character per turn and in the organization phase. I supose that it's the same case with folco's ability (discard at a haven to bring a hobbit in play). Right?

I dont think so, cause Strider mentions REPLACEMENT while FOldo just allows PLAYING a hobbit. Here lies the difference.

Er . . . no.

Strider wrote:You may bring Aragorn II into play with Strider's company, removing Strider from the game and automatically transferring all cards on Strider to Aragorn II.

By the Strider logic (such as it is ), Folco's ability may be used at any time.

Cards allowing playing special characters and/or playing them in special way says about "playing", "bringing" them in to play alternately. I don't see any regularity here.

On another thread "playing" has been quoted from the CRF as "bringing a card from your hand into play". I would say by that logic bringing Aragorn into play from your hand using Strider's ability is in fact "playing" him. Same for Folco's ability. Whether you can do this in addition to the one character per turn is a different question.
