## Official rulings

- Q: Can I choose not to remove any damage from Pluto – Determined Defender at the start of my turn?
  A: Yes. The Guard Dog ability lets you remove up to 3 damage from Pluto, so you can choose any amount from 0 to 3.
- Q: If I play Pluto – Determined Defender using his Shift ability, can I also use his Bodyguard ability to have him enter play exerted?
  A: Yes, you can do both. Ursula’s Shell Necklace Ursula’s Shell Necklace
- Q: If I have Ursula’s Shell Necklace in play and exert a cost 3 character to sing a cost 2 song, can I use the difference of 1 ink to use its Now, Sing! ability to draw a card?
  A: No. Ink costs, including the cost to use an ability like Now, Sing!, must be paid with ink from your inkwell. Using a character with a higher cost than necessary to sing a song doesn’t generate ink. Queen of Hearts – Sensing Weakness / Jafar – Keeper of Secrets Queen of Hearts – Sensing Weakness
