Can a tower capture an abbot?
In JCloisterZone, it can not. In fact, the game hung on us tonight because of this....
I can't find anything in the Complete Annotated Rules to indicate that a tower can, or can not, capture an abbot.
Did a search here, and didn't find any other discussions about the interactions between towers and abbots.
Help!

Can a tower capture an abbot?
My answer would be - yes, since it is a follower after all. CAR is not updated yet to include "Abbot" expansion.

OK, I admit I mixed up two things. But first part is still in effect.

I don't see why an Abbot on a german monastery could not be captured by a tower or be eaten by a dragon, he is a monk too, I think. The Abbot lies like a farmer and should stay until final scoring, but a farmer also can be captured.

I would agree, but JCloisterZone V3 will not allow a tower to capture an abbot. It does allow the dragon to eat an abbot. Usually Farin is very very good about understanding and implementing rules, so I thought maybe this was not allowed.....
To clarify, per an earlier message, I am referring to the side ways meeple on a German monastery.

Abbot?
What is an abbot? :o Is it the meeple who is not a monk, but the other thing, when you use the Monasteries? ???

Please see the CAR, page 173, for a far better explanation than I could provide, as well as the rules for use of Monk, Abbots, etc.

It is indeed the 'other' thing

Does anyone have a definitive answer to the question about Towers capturing Abbot?
kettlefish - can you assist?
If the answer is Yes, a Tower may capture an Abbot, we need Farin to fix JCloisterZone.
If the answer is No, the CAR needs to be updated.
Thanks!

Rule Tower (CAR v7.02 - page 65):
Whenever a player places a tower piece, he or she may take one big or normal follower prisoner.
Rule German Monastery (CAR v7.02 - page 173):
He then has two options when deploying a follower on the cloister:
1. As a Monk
2. As an Abbot
The follower has many different roles at Carcassonne.
examples: The follower is acting as a:
(CAR v7.02 - page 12)
- knight in a city
- thief on a road
- monk on a cloister
- farmer on a field
A follower is still a follower when it has the role as an "abbot" stand on its' side on a "German Monastery".
Here you can find some more roles of a follower:
(CAR v7.02 - page 272)
Gefolgsmann - follower
-
kettlefish - thank you!
To paraphrase kettlefish:
- an Abbot is a follower
- a tower can take a follower
In other words - JCloisterZone needs a change!
