Rafi Hamid ability

since rafi hamid’s ability is a shootout action that moves dudes into a shootout, he doesn’t have to be initially present ( or even eventually at all ) to send deputies into the fray correct? @Rules

The short answer is yes! Here’s the breakdown:

From Rulebook:
Shootout abilities you use must come from either an action card in your play hand (which is played and then discarded), a deed, an Improvement (a card with this keyword), your outfit, or a card in your posse (i.e. a dude or one of their attached cards). You can also use a Shootout ability on a card that’s not in a posse, but only if that ability would bring a card currently in play into a posse.

Rafi Hamid:
Shootout: One or more of your Deputies in any location(s) joins your posse at a Government deed (moving if necessary).

As Rafi satisfied the last sentence regarding shootout abilities, he does not have to be in the posse and can choose not to move himself in as part of the action, sending other deputies into the fray!
