102 The original rules stated that a follower could not be deployed to a feature which had not yet been scored—leaving the possibility that a follower could use a magic portal to reach a feature which had been completed, but not scored. This was corrected in an FAQ, and now in these rules. The magic portal may not be used to reach a completed feature, whether it was scored or not.
The usual rules must be followed—for example, the follower may not be deployed to an already occupied or completed feature.
For example, you may not place a meeple in an already occupied or completed feature
First off, a standard meeple played onto a Monastery can be called "an Abbot", and the rule say it must stay there until the end of the game. So it makes me wonder what the intention of playing an Abbot Meeple to the Monastery is. I'm of the opinion the that all Abbots must abide by the rule that: Abbots can't be removed from Monasteries.

Anyway...The reason to play an abbot figure (C-II) in an abbot role (C-I) would be to have the option to remove it early for a partial scoring of the monastery. I don't see any reason why the abbot figure wouldn't have the choice to deploy in either monk/cloister or abbot/monastery "mode" just like a normal follower does. It makes sense, it's good gameplay, and it works.The rule that "the abbot remains on the tile during the game and does not return to the player" is really just for contrast vs. normal cloister gameplay in which monks often return to the supply before the game is over. The rule describes the general case for abbot/monastery gameplay, but it would not be an absolute restriction for all possible scenarios.For example, I highly doubt we would consider that this sentence prevents early removal of an abbot from a cloister, shrine, abbey, garden, or monastery due to the dragon, a festival, tower capture, catapult knockout or seduction, or the messenger tile that allows removal and early scoring of any one follower. Nothing in the CAR states or implies that abbot-role followers are somehow different from all other followers for any of those effects above. Thus I can't see any logical reason why an abbot figure deployed in an abbot role should be prevented from removing itself early from the monastery to score partial points, just as it can from a cloister, abbey, shrine, or garden. (It's highly parallel to the previously mentioned messenger-tile scenario, and very logical.)So I totally allow it.
Using the names above - but an abbot figure cannot be used as a prior can it? And be removed mid game?? That could add some serious scoring potential if used with portals or the count or flyer.Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

But is the abbot meeple aloud to be placed on that tile, as far I know only normal meeples right?
I'm pretty sure HiG will not even want to rule on this unless and until they publish monastery expansions for C-II.
