Is Saul considered Roman since he was a Roman Citizen? And is Paul still a Phari?
Also can good Sads and Pharis be set aside and discarded by "Just a Hireling and Donctrine Like Leaven"?

If it says "Sadducee" or "Pharisee" without making the distinction, then yes, you can discard (or set aside) a Hero of that type.

Man... Just a Hireling became one of Herolesses worst enemies. XD

Ah, there you go, I knew there was a funky rule.

Oh, more than you know... 

Hey,

So.... you can use Doctrine like Leaven to set aside Paul? Who decides when he comes back?

I would rule that "Set-aside enhancements that benefit the cards set aside or the player that sets them aside must target characters permanently controlled by the player that played the enhancement, unless specified otherwise," and thus you could not set aside an opponent's Paul (or any other Pharisee or Sadduccee of an opponent) with Doctrine like Leaven.

I realize that that goes against what the current REG says when it says, "By default, your good set-aside cards target only your own Heroes, but can target Evil Characters of any player. Likewise, your evil
set-aside cards can target only your own Evil Characters, but can target Heroes of any player."  But the REG also says, "Set-aside cards remain on the character in the set-aside area until the character is returned to the field of play," but I'm not going to let you put the Set-aside lost soul in the set-aside area with the heroes it sets aside either.  [Long and short of it, the Set-aside entry in the REG is horribly outdated (and the powers that be know that) and until it gets updated I believe it is privy to rule based on what is reasonable rather than what the outdated document would suggest.]

Hey,

I understand your idea, but wouldn't that also kill off Two Possessed by Demons?

Two Possessed by Demons gives no benefit to the characters set aside or the player that sets them aside, so it would not be affected by my previous post.

Wouldn't an opponent losing two heroes be a benefit to me?  Does the benefit have to be more immediate?

But can you do that will a evil card? Thats pretty much my question

Yes, except keep in mind that set-aside cards only set aside your cards of the same alignment and your opponent's cards of the opposite alignment.  In other words, Doctrine can set aside your evil Sads or his good Sads.

The REG disagrees with your statement, Schaef

By default, your good set-aside cards target only your own Heroes, but can target Evil Characters of any player.  Likewise, your evil set-aside cards can target only your own Evil Characters, but can target Heroes of any player.

doesn't "any player" also include myself?

SO Scheaf your ruling is that I cant use DLL on my Good Sads?

I did not say that.  By confirming the REG entry, I think you will see that I would say you can.

ah sorry I misread it
