Hey,

If the soul that prevents drawing is in play when Feast of Trumpets is played the lost soul will prevent the drawing portion of the ability.  The rest of the ability will work normally.

That only answers a single question/scenario.

What about the whole issue of whether set-aside abilities are either all gained by the character or if some are triggered abilities that aren't necessarily gained by a character?

Don't think so...

Gained abilities from set asides are CBN (and too many things would change if that were modified). Since Pigs is able to prevent the draw ability, that means it cannot be gained.  Hence, some set-aside abilities *must* be triggered. qed.

so Windows of Narrow Light still protect heros (w/ no SA) whom are set aside with Pentecost?

Is Equipped for the Mission a gained ability?

It appears so.

My gut reaction is that it is NOT a gained ability for the hero.  This is a card that seems to target the player for the benefit (similar to Pentecost) instead of giving the benefit to the hero itself.  Therefore I think it would not count as a gained ability for the hero.

It's just a triggered ability.  It's not gained by the hero and doesn't target the player.
