Veil the Night's Hunt

Frequently Asked Questions

Power Cards

• In Veil the Night's Hunt, if there are fewer Invaders than Dahan, how much damage is done?
  If there are fewer Invaders than Dahan, each Invader takes 1 damage and the remaining damage is wasted.

• How do Badlands / Flame's Fury work with Veil the Night's Hunt? How about Trickster's innate "Why Don't You and Them Fight"? Or (other Power that specifies unusual conditions on what can be damaged)?
  For Veil the Night's Hunt, deal 1 bonus Damage to an Invader that's already taking Damage. (You can't use it to deal damage to more Invaders than there are Dahan in the land.) For Let's You and Them Fight, damage boosts can only apply to the Dahan and Invader taking damage from each other.

  Badlands and Flame's Fury respect limits on "What could this Power have damaged?" This may include caps on the number of Invaders being Damaged, or specification of exactly which Invader(s) are to be damaged.

  (For a few more examples of the same basic principle, you can take a look at the Horizons FAQ on boosting damage.)

Spirits and Innate Powers

• When *Gift of Furious Might* boosts Damage that's limited in some way - like the first level of Rising Heat's innate, which only damages Explorers - is the bonus damage also limited?
  Yes.

  This is true for all sorts of limitations - type of piece that can be damaged, number of pieces that can be damaged (Veil the Night's Hunt / Tempest of Leaves and Branches), etc.

• 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).
