Frequently Asked Questions

Adversaries

• For Scotland Level 5+, the oceans are in play for purposes of Blight only. How does that interact with Powers, Special Rules, Events, etc. that deal with Blight?
  Powers, Events, etc can add, remove, or move Blight into/out of the Ocean, or count / check it (for, e.g.: The Land Thrashes in Furious Pain). If something messing with Blight in the Ocean also does other stuff, that other stuff doesn't happen. If an Event tells you, "Do X in a land with Blight", unless X is adding more Blight, you have to choose somewhere else.

  There are currently no abilities which transform Blight, but if one existed, the resulting piece would be in an illegal state and follow those rules.

Power Cards

• If you Repeat Infestation of Venomous Spiders with threshold, does the "this Power" in the threshold refer to all uses of the Power that turn, granting Damage twice from each skip?
  No, when you check what "this Power" does, it refers to one use of the Power, not every use that turn. Any Action skipped by one use of Infestation of Venomous Spiders will only cause Damage from that use's threshold, not from any Repeats.

Presence and Sacred Sites

• When Blight is moved into a land, does it destroy Presence or cause cascades?
  No, Blight only destroys Presence when it is added to the board, not when it is moved from one land to another. Likewise, moving Blight does not cause cascades. [B&C p. 15, JE p. 28]

Spirits and Innate Powers

• If Bringer of Dreams and Nightmares uses Mists of Oblivion, do they get the Power Card's bonus fear for destroying Towns/Cities? (Relatedly, can they trigger Vengeance of the Dead?)
  No. No Towns/Cities are actually destroyed, so Mists of Oblivion grants no bonus Fear. And similarly, Vengeance of the Dead doesn't do any Damage.

  To Dream a Thousand Deaths only changes what happens when Bringer of Dreams and Nightmares would destroy/damage Invaders. It doesn't change what happens if an effect checks whether or not Invaders got destroyed.
