CH

When this Special is played, the attacker must choose 1 of the opponent's front-line Characters. The chosen Character must immediately discard all cards that are "placed" to him (like with an AU Special). In the case where the target Character has a Special Card in effect that allows him to have more than the usual number of cards "placed" to him, all of those cards are discarded as well; however, the Special that allows the additional "placed" cards is NOT discarded as it is "in effect" and not "placed" to that Character. In addition, the target Character cannot play offensive cards that affect the opponent or any of the opponent's Character for the remainder of the Battle (like with an AV Special). The target Character may still defend himself from attacks directed at him, and may still play cards that affect his own team, or the Battle in general (i.e., "Add 3 to the Venture total," for example). If the target character does not have any cards placed to them, then the first part of the Special is ignored.
