insta kill and soul stone

[Sanik]

So we have a few models who have insta-kill trigger: i,e. Howard, Misaki, Sue...etc Usually those models allow the damaged to either discard 2 cards or 2 soul stones to survive the insta-kill.

 

But I was just told today that since only the henchmen and masters are allowed to soulstones, Enforcers and minions would not be able to chose to discard 2 soul stones to survive. another words, if the hit model is an enforcer and you don't have two cards, he is DEAD! 

Which brings to my next question -> If Sun Quian makes another henchmen a peon, and SUE hits that model, would that hit model just die because peon can't use soulstone?

Is soulstone restriction also applied for those kind of trigger?

Discarding isn't using. Every model can discard 2 stones to avoid decapitation.

His ability doesn't strip the original station from its target. Sun Quiang wouldn't turn a Henchman into a Peon he would make the Henchman also a Peon.

I think enforcers and others can discard soulstones in the case of these assassination triggers.
