Does goblin glider care if a character was a Synsid character as in was recruited or if it becomes when during the turn it was recruited? For example, on turn one I drop Vulture, from web, then pay 5 for Doppelganger. I then put an alien symbiote on doppelganger. Now does the glider get to be played for free or does it still cost 1?

The characters have to be SS when recruited to count in reducing its recruit cost, and they must be recruited not "put into play".

Hope that helps, enjoy.

I totally blanked on the put into play part. RTFC huh?
