If a Farseer uses fortune/guide/doom on a squad consisting of a unit and an IC, what happens when the IC splits with the squad while they power is still active and why?

2 for the price of one, huh? Lemme get back to this.

From the INAT:

+ELD.28B.01/ELD.28D.01/ELD.28E.01
Q:  If  a  unit   containing  a  joined  Independent  Character  has 'fortune', 'doom' or 'guide' cast on it, and the character  subsequently  leaves  the  unit,  does  the   power  continue  to  affect  the  IC?  

A:  No,  it  will  only  affect  the  IC  while  he  is  joined  to  that  unit   [clarification].

So, since they (the INAT guys) addressed it, it's probably ambiguous in debate.

Alright, sounds good...Although 2 for 1 seems most logical...Ah well, Thanks

too bad, oh well old dex same old bad description

You cast the power on the unit, which technically no longer exists when the IC leaves - it is no longer "unit+IC" but "unit"

So the way most people play it is that, as you cannot pick out the IC when casting, that the power only affects the main unit.
