Council of Elrond

Hi all,

can i tap the character with a Forge-master on it (Unique. Saruman specific. Playable on a non-Hobbit sage character or a Man. +1 to his direct influence. The character requires 2 points of influence to control and may only be controlled by general influence or Saruman. If at a Wizardhaven [W] during your organization phase, you may tap this character to place a non-unique weapon/armor/shield/helmet minor item with any character at The Forge-master's site. The recipient need not tap to receive this item, and the item may be taken from your discard pile, sideboard, or hand.) to take a minor item and put it on himself? (let's say he's alone),

tx,

yes i think so

Just an add here ... can i also take a hoard minor item in such way?

mm75

Yes

It's been long since I'm lost in this topic but doesn't "recipient need not tap " mean he still have to be untaped to choose so?

No, because you normally don't have to tap to receive an item in the first place (e.g. transferring an item).
