Errata / Updates

Power Cards

• Core game - 4th and 5th printings
  Errata for Major Power "Dissolve the Bonds of Kinship" -- Line 3 is missing an Explorer symbol; it should read "Push all {Explorer} from target land."

  A corrected version is planned for Errata Pack (Core 4th/5th, B&C 3rd).

Frequently Asked Questions

Aspects

• When the Intensify Aspect spends a Moon Marker when replacing a piece of type A with a piece of type B (e.g., replacing 1 Explorer with 1 Dahan with Call of the Dahan Ways), how many piece of type B will there be?
  One per piece of type A that was replaced. So in this case, if there were two Explorers present, there would then be two Dahan.

General Play

• If you damage an invader and then replace it with another invader, will the new invader enter the game damaged?
  Yes. (Rulebook p. 18) When you replace a piece with another piece, the new piece comes in with whatever damage the original piece had.
  

  For example, if you deal 2 damage to a city and then replace it with a town, that town will be destroyed immediately.

  If you replace a damaged piece with two or more pieces (as when Dissolve the Bonds of Kinship replaces a City with two Explorers), the damage (and Strife tokens, if applicable) get divided between the new pieces as you choose.

Power Cards

• When Invaders deal Damage to each other, is that damage dealt simultaneously?
  Yes, Invaders can destroy each other this way.

  Damage from a single effect is done simultaneously. For instance, with the threshold effect of Dissolve the Bonds of Kinship, a City, a Town, and 5 Explorers can wipe each other out.

  For the special case involving Invaders with Strife, see here.

Spirits and Innate Powers

• Can Bringer of Dreams and Nightmares do real damage (destroying cities, etc) with Power X?
  The answer, in general, is 'no'. If the Power says "damage" or "destroy", it doesn't matter if it also says that Dahan, Beasts, Invaders, or anything else are doing that damage, the source is still ultimately Bringer of Dreams and Nightmares and is only nightmare damage.

  This applies even if the power has some other spirit doing something (eg, Blazing Renewal). If Bringer of Dreams and Nightmares played the power, it cannot do real damage.

  But: note that Bringer of Dreams and Nightmares can "remove" or "replace" Invaders without restriction, can trigger Invader Actions (ie, cause a Ravage, which will involve real damage), can modify how Invader actions work, and can usefully add Defense (without changing how the Dahan deal their retaliation damage in the Ravage).
