Is there any generalized reason you'd ever defend with a Str 0 character? Or is this basically setting up combos where you drop someone's strength post attack and the like?
@jdarksun chose a card in a Chapter Pack, not from the Core Set or Deluxe Expansions.
Not a valid choice.
In the Search, the text of the card will say SET: Core or SET: KotStorm.
(Kings of the Storm)
Those are valid.
Or you can use the Set filter option to choose those 2 sets.
I think @jdarksun should be Core Set or Kings of the Storm, not Lions of the Rock. But otherwise that's how I got my list, substituing Lords of Winter, for the Stark expansion of course.
So now we all draw 2 and then begin marshalling, starting with @jdarksun right? We marshall all of our units/locations at once then it moves to the next player?
3. Marshalling
The active player completes all marshalling before the next player clockwise. On your turn, first determine your income (add the income on your revealed plot card to any income bonuses on cards you control) and take that number of gold tokens from the Treasury. Now, play cards from your hand, paying their gold cost until you either run out of gold, run out of cards to play, or stop.
You may also attach duplicates to your unique cards, at no gold cost.
A card that has been ‘used’ is rotated 90º and is kneeling. Only standing cards may be used for actions that require kneeling.

... is there some difference between what that card states and "Attached character gets +2 Str"?

Well son of a bitch. I'd have sworn that was +2 for both, but I guess that not making sense should have tipped me off that something was wrong ...

The "while Standing" is referring to Characters, which do get knelt when declared as attackers or defenders.
Think of it as The King calling everyone together.
"Be nice now."
