Ishmaiah the Gibeonite (RA2)
Type: Hero Char. • Brigade: Red • Ability: 9 / 4 • Class: Warrior • Special Ability: Draw X (limit 3). Negate special abilities on Evil Characters with toughness X or less. May band to a red O.T. Hero. • Identifiers: OT Male Human, Canaan, Fought Earthly Battle, X = the number of O.T. Heroes in Battle • Verse: I Chronicles 12:4 • Availability: Rock of Ages Extended booster packs (None)
I'm sure this has come up before, but I can't find it. If a Hero (or any character, for that matter) have multiple SAs, do I activate them in any order I choose? So, for Ishmaiah, can I activate the band ability before the draw ability? It seems that would be the intent of the card, otherwise he'd only get multiple draws if he was in the middle/end of a band. I want to know the general rule, not just this specific one, but this is what came up in our game tonight.
For the record, I ruled that the band could precede the draw.
-
Abilities that add a character to battle are the last abilities to activate.
-
Abilities are always carried out in the order printed on the card with the exception of add a character to battle abilities (as Kittens said) which always happen after everything else.

Thanks! (I was wrong then. Didn't affect the game in the end.)
