Back Against the Wall

Frequently Asked Questions

Spirits and Innate Powers

• When Dances Up Earthquakes gains Energy directly onto impending cards, is that Energy decreased by Bargains or increased by Back Against the Wall?
  No, those effects modify the Energy gained into a Spirit's individual Energy stockpile, not the amount gained onto impending cards.

• Does Grinning Trickster's rightmost Growth Option just use the Card Plays revealed on the Presence Track, or does it include modifiers *(eg, Back Against the Wall, or Invader benefit 4 in Powers Long Forgotten)*?
  The printed number on the Plays track. In general, effects that scale via the Energy/Plays on Presence tracks use the printed numbers rather than the amount of Energy or Plays actually usable during a given Spirit Phase, whether or not they explicitly say so.
