Related Rule(s)
Beast Tyrant: How does the bear running out of hit points interact with the permanent death variant?
Like any other summon, the bear will always be available to summon again in the next scenario. Permanent death would only apply if the Beast Tyrant himself ran out of hit points.
Related Rule(s)
Beast Tyrant: Can the bear open doors with a Command action?
No
No
Related Rule(s)
Beast Tyrant: Can you voluntarily remove the bear from the board?
No
No. However, it is still considered a summoned figure.
Related Rule(s)
Beast Tyrant Command Actions
Command actions allow only the bear to perform the abilities on them - not the Beast Tyrant or any other summon. Note that unless a card specifically says it only affects summoned allies you own, it can affect any summoned ally, including those of other players.
Related Rule(s)
Beast Tyrant Extra card placement
You can put the extra card in your active area to keep track of the bear's attack and move values if you want (consider it a lost card that cannot be recovered), but it should be pretty easy to remember after a game or two.
Related Rule(s)
Elementalist Ethereal Manifestation (Card 474)
The bottom is the only action in the game that does not have a base ability. Consuming elements gives you different abilities you can perform in whatever order you want. For instance, you could consume fire, wind, and ice to move 3 hexes, loot 1, and then perform the attack 3, range 3.
Related Rule(s)
Elementalist Simulacrum (Card 469) [Errata]
[Errata] The bottom of the card should read "attack abilities" instead of "attack actions". Only attack abilities can be performed from the summon's position. For the summon on the bottom, for any attack ability, you can choose to originate it on your hex, or the summon's hex, but not both. So something like "target all enemies within range 4" would target either all enemies within range 4 of you, or all enemies within range 4 of your summon. Keep in mind that you are still the source of the attack, so you would only suffer disadvantage on a ranged attack, or suffer the effects of a non-ranged retaliate, if the attacked enemy was adjacent to you. Also note this summon has no attack action or a base attack value. It cannot be commanded to attack with an "Attack +X" action, but it can be commanded to attack with an "Attack X" action (e.g. the Mindthief's "Possession").
Related Rule(s)
Elementalist Chain Lightning (Card 463)
If an Add Target effect is applied to the card, it adds a single attack vs. a different target using the main ability values (which can be boosted if lightning is consumed).
Related Rule(s)
Elementalist Raw Enhancement (Card 476)
When exactly do you consume the element for upgrading the movement? The element can be consumed at any time during the movement - so before you start moving, after you move some spaces or after you move all spaces.

Sawbones Prep for Surgery (Card 445)
Unless the range is otherwise stated, all moves and attacks can become heals with a range of 1 (affect yourself or an adjacent ally).
Related Rule(s)
Sawbones Medical Pack and Large Medical Pack
These cards have an X (R1) / M (R2) on them, but they are not cards that are included in the Sawbones' normal hand. Instead, keep the stack of them off to the side and hand them out to other characters when an ability tells you to. When these cards are lost, or the scenario ends, return them to the Sawbones' supply.
Related Rule(s)
Sawbones Prevention is Key (Card 428)
The bottom effect applies to allies only while they are adjacent to you (like an aura), not allies adjacent to you at the time this action was performed.
Related Rule(s)
Sawbones Syringe (Card 413)
For the top action, this card is put in the Sawbones' discard pile at the end of the round. The Sawbones' ally never technically owns the card.
Related Rule(s)
Sawbones Curative Mixture (Card 412)
If the target is poisoned, will this ability heal the target 3 damage and remove the poison or only remove the poison and not heal the target? The poison gets removed, no other healing happens and if you have any other negative conditions, they get removed too.

For the bottom actions of these cards, the light part is what is applied to the ally as a persistent bonus. This card is technically owned by the ally now, and they can recover it through special actions like any other card they own. These cards should be returned to the Sawbones at the end of the scenario.

Doomstalker Predator and Prey (Card 405)
As an example of this doom, if you were to perform a range 5 attack on the doomed enemy 2 hexes away, you would gain +3 attack. If this were to cause a negative bonus (due to an area effect attack), do not apply it.
Related Rule(s)
Doomstalker Rising Momentum (Card 403)
For the doom, if there are multiple enemies within range, you can choose which one to move the dooms to.
Related Rule(s)
Doomstalker Crashing Wave (Card 402)

For the bottom action, the move is considered a teleport and is subject to effects that affect moves (like immobilize and stun). Additionally, no hexes between the start and end are interacted with.
Related Rule(s)
Doomstalker Dooms Clarification
In general, Dooms are persistent negative effects applied to a specific enemy that last until you choose to discard the applied doom card, you play a different doom, or the enemy dies. Any enemy that has a doom applied to them is considered "doomed." Note that while bosses are immune to many negative conditions, they are not immune to dooms. Obstacles with hit points, however, cannot be doomed. Note that unless a card specifically says it only affects summoned allies you own, it can affect any summoned ally, including those of other players. When there are multiple "on enemy death" effects from Dooms, the players decide the order but all are evaluated together - they all take effect and don't interrupt each other. Also, Doom effects still trigger if the Doom moves from the monster since it was Doomed when those effects were evaluated. You cannot have doom tokens on more than one enemy
Related Rule(s)
Soothsinger Mobilizing Measure (Card 367)
When granting the Move action with the top of the card, the ally must actually attack to have an attack action, but as long as they get in a position to do so, they gain the move 1, even if they are not in a position to do so before the move 1. The ally must be able to provably do the attack after moving - so they can't open doors or reveal new/hidden information if doing so may prevent the attack. Items and any other abilities or effects that affect the total movement may be used to reach the attack hex. It is the same for summons. They are granted the additional move action so long as using it would put them in a position to attack. This move is always executed automatically (not controlled by the summoner), and it is a separate action. The summons takes into account the granted movement as well as any other movement abilities and effects they are subject to when determining where to move and who to attack.
Related Rule(s)
Soothsinger Echoing Aria (Card 362)
The bottom effect applies to allies only while they are within range 3 of you (like an aura), not allies within range 3 of you at the time this action was performed.
Related Rule(s)
Soothsinger Unending Chant (Card 358)
For the top bonus, the additional curse caused by the bonus does not also trigger the bonus. The bottom effect applies to allies only while they are adjacent to you (like an aura), not allies adjacent to you at the time this action was performed.
Related Rule(s)
Soothsinger Song of Speed (Card 350)

Related Rule(s)
Soothsinger Defensive Ditty (Card 349)
The effect of the bottom action only happens once.
Related Rule(s)
Soothsinger Songs Clarification
In general, Songs are persistent bonuses for your allies that last until you choose to discard them, or you play a different song. Remember, however, that you are not an ally of yourself. Whenever you have a song active at the beginning of your turn (i.e. it was played on a previous turn), you gain an experience.
Related Rule(s)
Berserker Careless Charge (Card 343)
For the top action, at least one figure must be wounded in order to apply the effects (for the case of self or ally immunity)
Related Rule(s)
(R1) Berserker Burning Hatred (Card 342)

Related Rule(s)
Berserker Final Fight (Card 339)
For the bottom action, the number of cards you have lost is equal to the cards in your lost pile plus any lost cards in your active area. If you recover any lost cards, they no longer count toward the total.
Related Rule(s)
Berserker Reckless Offensive (Card 332)

Related Rule(s)
Berserker Numb the Pain (Card 331)
For the bottom action, you cannot chose to take the damage if there is no adjacent enemy. However, you can take the damage if the enemy is adjacent but immune to stun.
Related Rule(s)
Berserker Glass Hammer (Card 330)
Since this is not damage it cannot be mitigated in any way. If an item is used to attack multiple targets with the top attack, all targets would receive the full effect of the attack. Experience, however, would be calculated separately, such that any remainder damage from the first attack does not roll over into the second attack.
Related Rule(s)
Berserker Unbridled Power (Card 329)
The text on the bottom action means that any time you see the words "maximum hit point value," you would still apply your normal maximum hit point value instead of 26 (unless you are level 9 and they are the same).
Related Rule(s)
Berserker Blood Pact (Card 324)
For the top action, if you get damaged during the attack by retaliate, the effect of the retaliate happens immediately after the attack, before your current HP's are calculated.
Related Rule(s)
Berserker Growing Rage (Card 320)
For the top action, the number of cards you have lost is equal to the cards in your lost pile plus any lost cards in your active area. If you recover any lost cards, they no longer count toward the total. For the bottom action, the XP gain is part of the attack, so if you can perform the attack, you get the XP.
Related Rule(s)

For the top action, you cannot give Poison to an ally who is immune to Poison.

Nightshroud Wings of Night (card 270)
Wording of Wings of the Night bottom should read “Before your next 4 Attack actions, perform a Move 2 as the first ability of the action” You must actually attack to have an attack action, but as long as you get in a position to do so, you gain the move, even if you are not in a position to do so before the move. You must be able to provably do the attack after moving - so can't open doors or reveal new/hidden information if doing so may prevent the attack. Items and any other abilities or effects that affect the total movement may be used to reach the attack hex.
Related Rule(s)
Nightshroud Empowering Void (card 263)
The top and bottom action both only refer to the values written in main line abilities, such as "Attack X," and not to any bonus supplied by supplemental text, items, or persistent abilities (however any persistent abilities that grant additional move or attack abilities on your turn are still fair game).
Related Rule(s)
Summoner Endless Spikes (Card 253)
Place down three summon tokens of the same color with different numbers to track the three separate summons. These summons have no attack action or a base attack value.

Mindthief Submissive Affliction (Card 146)
For the top action, the bonus does not count negative conditions applied by the attack, since negative conditions are applied after damage is dealt. The bonus only counts negative conditions that were on the target before the attack. It also does not count curse, as that effect is not target specific. For the bottom action, note that there is no plus on the attack line, but there is a plus in the range. This means that the enemy performs an "Attack 2" on another enemy within its base range. Any added effects from the monster's stat card are also applied to the attack, and the monster uses the monster attack modifier deck. This is not a targeted ability.

Mindthief Augments
In general, Augments are persistent ability cards that go in your active area when played. They will give you (not your summons) some persistent bonus (the part with the darker background) to all of your melee attacks once in your active area, and then will also allow you to immediately perform a one-time attack, which benefits from the augment just activated. The Augment part of an augment card is an ability and can be skipped so you can play the card for its other abilities and leave a currently active Augment in play.

Tinkerer Chimeric Formula (Card 060)
So this is probably the most ridiculous action in the game. You're level 9, so have a little fun. The bottom action allows for any class to get the card of any another class in their hand to use as they would their own cards. For instance, the Brute could gain one of the Mindthief's augments.

No
No, scenario 14 does not unlock any new scenarios. There are many ways to arrive at scenario 14, and when you unlocked it, you also unlocked a scenario that couldn't be completed until you completed scenario 14 due to global achievement restrictions. The numbers at the end of scenario 14 are just reminders of where you should go next depending on what your goal was in the first place.
Scenario 19 clarification
The altar (b) can be affected by abilities that affect obstacles, though it is recommended that you not destroy it, since that would make the scenario unwinnable. The NPC treats the altar as a focus when determining movement.

TYPO - Under "Special Rules" the position of the altar should be "f" not "a". Also, the labels for the demon spawns are off. The demons should be reordered to wind (a), night (b), earth (c), flame (d), sun (e), frost (f). The altar acts like a normal obstacle with hit points (i.e. immune to all negative conditions), therefore the "and immunities" is superfluous and should not be there.

Lurker targeting one enemy with all attacks
Normally players or monsters with a "Target X" modifier to their attack must target different enemies with each of their multiple attacks. This card allows the monster to instead target the same enemy with each attack. Thus, a Lurker with "Target 2" would perform two attacks, one right after the other, on its focus.
(R1) Spitting Drakes stat card typo
4 atk, not 5
A level 0 elite Spitting Drake should have 4 Attack, not 5.
Oozes looting (Card 698)
Just like a player "Loot 1" action, the ooze will pick up all coins on its hex or adjacent hexes. These coins are lost - the ooze doesn't drop them again when it dies (just the normal one coin). The ooze, however, cannot loot treasure tiles. Also keep in mind that this action does not influence how the ooze moves. Since there is no attack written on the card, it focuses and moves as if it had a normal melee attack.
Oozes summoning cards (696, 697)
Damage before summon
Note the damage happens before the summon, so new oozes come in at the new hit point value. The new ooze's max hit point value is still defined by its Stat card. Also, if the damage kills the ooze, then it doesn't summon at all. If there are no more oozes standees, the ooze will still perform the action, simply suffering damage.
(R1) Oozes stat card typo (level 3 elite)
Shield 1 not 2
Level 3 elite Oozes should have "Shield 1," not "Shield 2."
Vermling Scouts Looting (Card 675):
Just like a player "Loot 1" action, the scout will pick up all coins on its hex or adjacent hexes. These coins are lost - the scout doesn't drop them again when it dies (just the normal one coin). The scout, however, cannot loot treasure tiles. Also keep in mind that this action does not influence how the scout moves. Since there is no attack written on the card, it focuses and moves as if it had a normal melee attack.
Target one enemy with all attacks (Card 522):
Normally players or monsters with a "Target X" modifier to their attack must target different enemies with each of their multiple attacks. This card allows the monster to instead target the same enemy with each attack. Thus, a Living Bones with "Target 2" would perform two attacks, one right after the other, on its focus. If the target gets exhausted by the 1st attack, the monster will attempt to attack another enemy using the focus rules, though it can't move since it is in the middle of an attack.

Can you explain exactly how effects and abilities work with unconscious characters?
Yes
If a character becomes exhausted from card loss, all of their cards are removed from the game, as per the normal exhaustion rules. These include all summons and active cards. They don't get a turn per se but are treated as having one for the effects and expiration of conditions. The processing of that turn is nominally at initiative 99 and takes place after long rests. Existing conditions are removed at the end of that turn per the condition rules. The character may still be focused by enemies per the normal focus rules (including activation order tie breaker rules). They can still be affected/targeted by friendly and hostile abilities, including receiving new conditions. Some conditions won't be relevant, like bless or strengthen, but invisibility would be. They may be healed to keep them alive in case of future damage but remain unconscious for the remainder of the scenario even if healed.
How does failing a scenario interact with the permanent death variant?
With the permanent death variant, whenever a scenario is failed through any condition, the scenario doesn't end until the end of the round in which it was failed. At this time, if any of the characters are still alive (possibly exhausted but not dead), then they would still survive.
If a scenario's goal is to kill all revealed monsters, do those include summons as well?
If a scenario is actually in the town of Gloomhaven, would interacting with the town both before and after the scenario be considered separate visits?
If a scenario's requirements have an achievement listed as "INCOMPLETE," what does that mean?
Don't have it
It means that you can only play that scenario in campaign mode if you do not have the listed achievement.
Do bonuses/penalties from random scenario cards last one round or for the entire scenario?
Entire scenario
They last the entire scenario unless otherwise indicated.
If I play a random dungeon from the random dungeon deck, do they trigger road events and city events like normal scenarios?
No
No. Random dungeons will not progress the campaign in any way. This means they do not trigger road or city events, unlock new scenarios, gain town prosperity or anything else that would impact the campaign world. They can, however, help with character progression, in the form of experience, gold, checks, and personal quests.
If the party wants to go directly to a linked scenario but wants to swap out characters, does the party have to go to Gloomhaven, thereby forcing them to take a road event before the linked scenario?
No (yes)
If the character being swapped in has already been created, then you don't have to go back to Gloomhaven, but if you want to swap in a character that hasn't been created yet, you would have to return to Gloomhaven to create it.
Which event rewards/penalties affect a single character and which affect all characters?
If a result starts with "Gain," "Lose," "Discard," or "Consume," the result is distributed among all characters however they choose if the word "collective" is included (i.e. "Lose 10 collective gold." means that the party loses 10 gold total). The result affects each character separately if the word "each" is included (i.e. "Lose 10 gold each." means that a party of 4 would lose 40 gold total). The exception to this is if the result is gaining an item. In that case, only one character gets the item (decided among the players). If a result contains "Start scenario with..." it affects all players, unless it says "One starts scenario with..." in which case it only affects one player.
Do I do a road event when traveling back to Gloomhaven from a scenario?
No
No, you only do a road event when traveling to a scenario.
What does “unavailable” mean regarding items consumed during road events?
Equip but consumed
You must equip the item into a slot, already consumed, but mechanics that allow you to refresh items can apply to the unavailable item
Does consuming items during a road event make them unavailable during the scenario?
If I am forced to discard cards because of an event, when does that happen?
After hand select
Even though events happen before setting up the scenario, you should wait until you've selected your hand of cards to decide which ones to discard.
If characters drop in and out of a party, which ones are affected by the results of road and city events?
Only present
Only the characters that are present when the event card is resolved are affected.
How do I track lost prosperity?
Note it
Note it next to the prosperity track and then scratch out the note the next time you gain prosperity.
Are character summons affected by the ignore scenario effects perk?

Yes
Yes

If I have the ignore scenario effects perk, can I ignore the effects of event cards?
No
No. You can only ignore the specific effects outlined in scenarios as scenario effects. These will be listed in the special rules of a scenario and have the format of "Do such and such as a scenario effect."
Is an enhancement to an ability that summons several creatures treated as a single target or multi-target ability when determining the cost?
Single Target
Single Target
For the BLESS and STRENGTHEN enhancements, what abilities count as affecting allies or yourself?
If an ability has a qualification below it (e.g. "Self" or "Affect all allies at X range" or simply "Range X"), and it is a beneficial ability, then you can enhance it with Bless/Strengthen (as long as it has a dot, of course). A "Move" ability does not count as affecting yourself.
Calculating the total # of cards that can be enhanced against the current prosperity level, which cards do we count, the entire set of cards of the class, or just the cards selected by the character?
All
You count every card in the ability deck of a class, which includes those selected by other characters and any higher level cards not yet selected by the character.
[Errata] When retiring, can players donate to the sanctuary and give the bless cards to their next character?
No
No. The rulebook section "Donating to the Sanctuary" should say "character" instead of "player"
[R1 Errata] The second item in the Special Conditions for Opening Envelopes in the rule book talks about Drake's Request but that isn't referenced in the Scenario Book anywhere. Is this an error?
Yes
Yes. The second item should read "The Drake's Command" instead of "The Drake's Request." When you achieve this goal, you earn "The Drake Aided" global achievement. Also, it is optional to add the cards to the event decks and earn the achievement, but once it is done, it is permanent.
Which newly created characters do you consider part of a lineage if a player plays with multiple characters at the same time or alternates between characters?
A lineage is a direct descendancy of retired and new characters as chosen by the player. If you created two characters and are playing them together in one session or alternating them between sessions, they each have their own lineage. When one retires, the next character you start can either be their own new lineage or part of the one that retires, your choice. If you want the perk, you'll want to make it part of the lineage of a retired character.
[R1 Errata] What's with this perk bonus for character lineages I've heard about?
This is a rule that was missed in rev 1 of the rule book. Every time an individual player retires a character, that player gains one extra perk to apply to all future characters they create and that are assigned to the retired character's lineage. This effect is cumulative, so when a player retires their second character, their next character would gain two additional perks.
Do I keep my personal quest secret?
Player choice
There's not an official rule on this, so do whatever you want. I like to keep mine secret.
Related Rule(s)
If I unlock a character class through means other than retirement and it is already unlocked, do I still get the bonus of a random scenario and item design?
Yes
Yes. No matter how a character class is unlocked, if you trigger the unlock and it is already unlocked, you gain the bonus of a random scenario and item design.
If I lose a check mark, can that make me lose a perk?
No
No. You cannot go below the threshold of a perk, experience level, or prosperity level when losing check marks, experience, or prosperity, respectively. So if you have three check marks (enough to gain a perk), and then lose a check mark, nothing happens. You don't lose a perk, and you don't go into check mark debt.
Can I choose not to level up when I have the experience or not gain a perk when I have three check marks?
No
No. If you are in town and you have enough experience to level up, you are forced to do so, immediately gaining all benefits of leveling up. If you have three check marks, you must immediately gain a perk.
If a perk on a character sheet has multiple check boxes next to it, does that mean it requires that number of check marks to unlock it, or that I can acquire that perk for one check that # of times?
Second case
The second case. If a perk has two check boxes, you can gain that perk twice for one perk allocation each.
How exactly does my "pool" of ability cards work? What can I add to it when I level up?
Your pool of ability cards is the set of cards you can choose to add to your hand when you start a scenario. The cards in your hand are the cards you actually play the scenario with and their number is limited based on the class you are playing. When you are starting out with a level 1 character, your pool consists of all level 1 cards, plus the three "X" cards in your deck as well. All other cards are unavailable to you. When you level up, you can take a single card of your new level or lower from the deck of unavailable cards and add it to your pool. In this manner, a level 9 character will add eight more cards to their pool over the course of leveling up from level 1.
When I level up, does my experience go back to zero?
How are sanctuary donations, road and city events handled when playing scenarios in casual mode?
Sanctuary donations and city events can only be done if the last scenario played was in campaign mode. Road events can only be done if the next scenario is being played in campaign mode.
What happens if a flying monster is over a stun trap and another monster attempts to move over that stun trap?
Treat as obstacle
A figure cannot end their movement in the same hex as another figure so treat the flying monster as an obstacle when determining the non-flying monster’s movement.
When something that summons monsters dies, do the monsters it summoned die too?
How do you distinguish between summoned enemies and other enemies (since summoned enemies don't drop money tokens)?
Extra tokens
You can place extra scenario tokens (grey circles) on summoned enemies if you have difficulty keeping track.
After selecting a destination hex, which path does a monster use to reach it?
Shortest path
The monster will take the shortest path to reach the destination hex. If it can't reach the destination hex this turn, it will take the shortest path which brings it as close as possible to the destination hex. Note that if it can't get closer to the destination hex this turn, it will not move. "Shortest" and "Close" mean the fewest movement points around walls, obstacles and hazards (if possible) using the normal, jumping and flying movement rules.
After determining focus, how exactly does a monster chose its destination hex and how does it maximize its attack on its focus and any additional targets?
It will determine its final destination hex (the hex where it can attack it's focus) by using the prioritization rules below before moving. The evaluation is first done using the monster's current movement range. If the monster can't reach a hex from which to attack using the movement it has this turn, the rules are re-evaluated assuming infinite movement. Also, the monster uses its current attack when determining its attack/movement options, even if it may have a different (or no) attack when it eventually reaches its destination hex. If there are multiple hexes that meet the criteria, players decide ties. 1st - Attack its primary focus, losing/avoiding disadvantage if possible 2nd - Attack as many extra targets as possible 3rd - If there are still multiple attack locations with an equal number of different extra targets, use the focus rules (least amount of movement points*, then proximity, then initiative) from its starting position to determine which secondary target (in addition to the previous target(s)) should be included in the attack (repeating for a tertiary target, etc.) and select the attack location which includes these targets. 4th - Lose disadvantage on the extra targets (all equal priority, players decide ties) 5th - Use the least amount of movement points* *Around walls, obstacles and hazards (if possible) using the normal, jumping and flying movement rules
If a monster can't get within range to attack with its movement, will it still move closer?
Will a monster move away from its target just to extend its distance (kite)?
No
No. It will only move away to maximize its current attacks.
Will a monster move away from its target if it is adjacent and is performing a ranged attack?
Yes
Yes, monsters move a minimum amount to maximize their attack, so they will move away to lose disadvantage. If it can't lose disadvantage (i.e. is muddled or does not have enough movement points), it will not attempt to do so.
Can you use an ability that allows a figure to perform an immediate attack if the figure has no current valid targets just to gain XP from the ability?
When a monster is forced to do an Attack X, which of its base effects does it get to use? Does it keep its range?
Attack X replaces the figure's base ability so it is a melee attack unless a Range +X is specified or otherwise noted. Other effects from the Stat card (like poison, multiple targets, etc.) are retained.
Can enemies that do not have a base movement be granted movement abilities from other sources like mind control?
Enemies without movement function like summons without movement. If they are granted a "Move X" ability, they can move, but if they are granted a "Move +X" ability, they can't.
When a monster is controlled by a character, is it considered an ally or an enemy of other monsters while it is being controlled?
Enemy by monsters
It is considered an enemy by other monsters for the duration of the mind control (typically either during the character's turn or during the mind controlled monster's turn, depending on the wording of the ability)
If a monster has jumping or flying for only one turn (say from an ability card), does it evaluate its focus path assuming it has jumping or flying for just its current turn or for the entire path?
Entire path
The monster assumes it can jump or fly for the entire path (as if it was a permanent ability).
How exactly does a monster with Jump evaluate its focus/movement path?
Infinite jumping
The monster acts as if it has an infinite jump, just like it normally acts as if it has infinite movement. The monster treats anything that would normally block its movement (obstacles, traps, enemies) as an ally in terms of where it can move to (i.e. they can move through them, but not end their movement in the same hex). Then it follows all the normal movement rules (minimum movement required to get as close to the target hex as possible, thinking that it can move through anything).
I'm just confused about focus. Can you explain it?
Yes
Finding a focus for a monster can be tricky in certain circumstances, but it follows some very basic rules. First of all, is the monster performing an attack on the ability card it drew? If not, pretend as if it is performing a melee attack (i.e. it wants to be adjacent to an enemy). Next, find path using the least movement points to get within range (and line-of-sight) to attack an enemy. Note that the monster focuses on a target but the movement path is towards a legal firing/attack position hex (unoccupied, in LOS and in range) - its destination hex. It doesn't matter if the monster can't get to its destination hex with the movement it has, as long as there is a path to eventually get to the hex it will still consider this path the optimal path. The enemy/enemies that are within range (and line-of-sight) at the end of this shortest path are considered the "closest." Side note on negative hexes (traps or hazardous terrain): negative hexes are considered obstacles when determining this path unless there is no path except through the negative hexes. The path can be ten steps long if the enemy avoids the negative hex and two steps long if it goes through the negative hex, it will still choose the ten-step path as long as it is available. Basically, monsters will move through as few negative hexes as possible. In the case where the monster can use the same number of movement points to get within range (and line-of-sight) of multiple enemies (either because it starts its turn within range or multiple enemies or through some other situation), proximity (i.e. number of hexes they are away, not counting through walls) is then checked as a tie-breaker for "closest." Okay, now, if there is only one closest enemy within range at the end of that path, that is the monster's focus. If there are multiple closest enemies within range (and line-of-sight), the focus is the enemy among those tied who has the lower initiative for the round. Note that there may be some cases where a monster can't find a focus at all. In order to obtain focus on an enemy, there must be an unblocked path (no walls, enemies, obstacles) to a hex that it can legally stand in where it could eventually move to and target the enemy. If an enemy can't find a focus, it doesn't move or attack on its turn but it can perform any other abilities written on its card.
If a monster's element consumption is attached to another ability (typically Attack) and doesn't perform that ability, is the element consumed?
When the monsters consume/infuse an element as part of their ability card, do they each consume/infuse an element as they take their individual turns or do they consume/infuse the element as a group?
Consume as group
They consume/infuse the element as a group when the 1st monster takes their turn, with all the currently revealed monsters of that type gaining any benefit. However, if new monsters of that type are later revealed, they would need to consume the element again to gain the benefit (assuming it is available).
If a door is closed due to specific scenario rules, what happens if revealed monsters are stuck in a room with no enemies to attack?
Walls
Closed doors behave like walls. The monsters are still revealed, so they would still play a card at the beginning of each round, but, until the door is opened, they wouldn't be able to find a focus, and so would not move or attack and just perform any other abilities on their card, as per the normal rules.

Does curse from a monster ability card stack with curse as a trait from the monster stat card?
Yes
Yes, 2 curse cards will be added to the target's modifier deck.
If a monster with a ranged attack is under disadvantage from being adjacent to its focus and is also muddled, will it still move to attempt to lose its adjacency disadvantage anyway?
If a figure is immune to CURSE, what happens if it draws a CURSE card?
Affects normally
The card affects the figure normally (i.e. the figure does no damage). Note that it is only immune to the condition, which is the act of shuffling the CURSE card into the deck.
What happens if a non-stunned monster draws a card that gives it an on-death effect but then gets stunned before it dies?
Effect applied
The effect is applied, even if the monster is stunned at the time of their death.
How are ability bonuses (shield and retaliate) affected by stunning a monster?
Note that the bonuses are not simply given by the monster ability card. Monsters would have to perform a "Shield 1" action to gain the Shield 1, so these bonuses only activate if a monster is not stunned on its turn. However, abilities listed in the monster stat card are unaffected by stun as they are continuously available.
If a monster is disarmed, will it move as if it has an attack?
No
No, disarm negates all effects of having an attack. A monster will move as though it doesn't have an attack, which means it will just try to get as close as possible to its focus.
Can you explain in more detail how monsters interact with invisible characters?
Obstacles
Invisibility works the same regardless of whether it is an invisible character or an invisible monster. Monsters can't focus on invisible characters, move through them (unless flying or jumping), or target them with any attacks or other targeted abilities (an ability like "CURSE, target all enemies within range," for instance, wouldn't affect the invisible character even if he/she were in range). Monsters essentially treat invisible characters like obstacles, but may occasionally affect them with non-target effects (such as splash damage). Once again, however, an invisible character will never be focused on by a monster.Invisibility can create an edge-case where a monster is unable to find a focus, either because all of its enemies are invisible, or an invisible character is standing in a door or some other one-hex passageway to prevent a monster from finding any viable path to get within range of an enemy. Blocking a passageway like this doesn't always result in not finding focus. Flying or jumping enemies can ignore the obstacle (invisible character), and ranged enemies may still be able to shoot over it, depending on the value of their range and the positions of the other characters.

When do bosses do their special attacks?
Ability card
Only when their ability card says so.
Are bosses elites?
No
No, bosses are their own class of monster and are thus unaffected by abilities that target normal or elite monsters. Also note that named monsters specified in the scenario book are their own class of monster as well.
Related Rule(s)
After a monster is done moving (or didn't have to move), in what order does the monster perform its attacks against multiple targets?
Players decide.
Players decide.
Can you clarify how monsters do attacks against multiple targets?
Yes
Area of Effect, Add Target and Target X attacks are treated exactly like they are for players. Unless otherwise stated by a card, the multiple attacks cannot be done on the same enemy because they all come from the same ability. If a card says that multiple attacks CAN be done on the same enemy (as an exception to the rule), the monster will attack its focus until it's dead/exhausted, after which it will follow the focus rules to find its next target. If a monster ability card has multiple attack abilities listed in different lines, they are considered separate abilities and will therefore be used on the same target until its dead or exhausted, after which it will follow the focus rules to find its next target. [Errata] Note that the wording on Page 31 of the rule book regarding monster multiple attacks should read "If the monster can target multiple figures with a single ability..." instead of the "If the monster has multiple attacks..."
How do you measure "closest" when resolving abilities like the Archer trap placement or summons that are placed "closest to an enemy"?
Fewest move
Closest is measured 1st requiring the fewest normal movement points and then 2nd by proximity (but around walls)
If all monsters of a type are destroyed and then new ones are revealed, do you shuffle the monster's ability cards?
No
No. You only shuffle a monster's ability cards if the shuffle symbol is displayed or all cards have already been drawn
If a monster ability card lists a melee attack (like “adjacent enemies” effects) but the monster stat card specifies a Range X, is the attack melee or ranged?
It is melee
It is melee, the monster ability card takes precedence.
If a monster is granted Retaliate by both an ability card and the Stat card, are they treated as separate effects or summed together and treated as a single effect?
Summed up
They are summed and treated as a single effect.
If a monster has bonuses like "Shield" or "Retaliate" on their ability card, is that active for the whole round?
No
No, bonuses only become active once the monster takes their turn based on the initiative on the ability card. It then lasts until the end of the round, where it will either get shuffled back into the deck or replaced with the next round's ability card.
If an ability card for a monster that normally has range shows a hex configuration with a grey hex (signifying a melee attack), is this attack still considered ranged?
No
No, in this case, it would perform a melee attack.
If a monster ability card doesn't specify an "Attack" or "Move" ability, do they still perform that ability?
No
No. Monsters only do what is written on their card for that round.
What is considered an Action for a monster?
Each separat ability
Each separate Ability on a monster's ability card is considered a separate Action, even multiple abilities of the same type - like separate Attack abilities.
If there are revealed monsters of different types that share the same ability deck (ex: guards) and two monsters have the same standee number, in what order to they activate?
Player decide
Players decide but they should be consistent from round to round. To make it easier, it may be best to activate the monsters one type at a time (using normal activation order rules). Alternately you can do all of the elites of the different types together, then the normals, deciding ties as needed.
How do you determine initiative for a monster that is summoned by another monster if the summon doesn't have a drawn ability card?
Draw new card
Draw a monster ability card to determine initiative. Note that the monster will draw another ability card in the next round (when it would actually be able to take a turn).
If a monster is revealed at the end of a round, does it take it's turn in the current round or the next round?
The next round.
The next round.
If two different monster types reveal the same initiative on different ability cards, which one goes first?
The players decide.
The players decide.
When a monster type activates, do they all go on the same turn, or does each individual monster have a separate turn?
Separate
Each individual monster has a separate turn.
Can a summoner receive the effects from modifier cards (like item refreshes or heals) drawn by their summons
When summons attack obstacles, what initiative value do the obstacles have when resolving tie-breakers for monster focus?
99
Obstacles have 99 initiative for resolving focus ties.
If a summon/ally is granted an Attack X, which of it's base effects does it get to use? Does it keep its range?
No
Attack X replaces the figure's base ability so it is a melee attack unless a Range +X is specified or otherwise noted. Other effects from the Stat card (like poison, multiple targets, etc.) are retained.
If a summon has a "-" for its move or attack, can I grant it move or attack actions, respectively?
Depends
It depends. The "-" means that it has no base for that stat. So you can't grant an "Attack +2" action to a summon with a "-", as that is a modifier to an undefined base, but you can grant it an "Attack 2" action, as that sets the base. The same applies to movement. Also note that summons (or monsters) with "-" movement can still be pushed and pulled.
Related Rule(s)
Do summons perform end-of-turn looting?
No
No, only characters perform end of turn looting.
How long do Shield and Retaliate Last?
Depends on source
It depends on how you got the ability. Lemi esplain... no there is too mush. Lemi sum up: - If they are on a card with charges, they activate only for the effect that triggers the use of the charge - If they are on a Round Bonus ability card, they are active for the remainder of the round or until you remove the card from the active area - If they are on a Persistent Bonus ability card, they are active until you remove the card from the active area - If they are from attack modifier cards or a regular ability card, they are active for the remainder of the round
If I take one point of damage from an attack and have multiple abilities (from ability cards or items) which give me Shield when taking damage from an attack, do I have to use all of them?
No
No. You can choose which Shield bonus to apply in this case, and once the damage is reduced to zero, it is no longer a source of damage, so any other bonuses do not have to be used.
Is retaliation an attack, is it targeted? If I am invisible, can monsters still retaliate against me?
No, Yes
Retaliation is not an attack nor is it targeted, so it is unaffected by invisibility. You can still be retaliated against while invisible.
When exactly does retaliate trigger?
After effects apply
Retaliate triggers after all effects of an attack have been applied. If the retaliating figure dies from the attack, the retaliate does not trigger because the figure is removed from the board beforehand. If the retaliating figure is pushed out of the range of its retaliate, it also does not trigger. However, if it is pulled into retaliate range, it would trigger.

Yes
Yes
Related Rule(s)
Can flying monsters be pushed into traps?
Yes, no damage
They can be pushed into hexes with traps, but doing so will not trigger the traps.
Can I target allies with push/pull abilities?
No
No, allies cannot be targeted at all, even if the ability isn't an Attack.
What does "closer" and "further" mean for push/pull?
Measure by proximity
They are measured by proximity - count the number of hexes between the source and the target, except through walls.
What happens if there are multiple push/pull effects used in the same ability?
If multiple push or pull effects are applied with the same ability (due to attack modifier cards), you can choose to apply or not apply them separately (e.g. if your ability applied a "push 1," and your attack modifier card applied a "push 1," you could decide to push 0, 1 or 2 since they are separate effects).
Can we push/pull enemies through other enemy figures?
Yes
Yes, but they can't end the movement in the same hex unless entering the hex kills the enemy being pushed/pulled (from say, hazardous terrain).
What if there are multiple blocked and/or unblocked paths?
Players decide
If a figure is being pushed/pulled and there is an unblocked hex, it has to be used. If there are multiple unblocked hexes, the players decide. This is evaluated one hex at a time until the effect is fully resolved or there are no valid hexes for the figure to move into. This rule applies to pushes/pulls done by monsters as well.
Do I have to push or pull the full amount?
Yes
Like any added effect, you can choose not to apply it, but if you do, you have to use the full push or pull effect. The only time the full push or pull may not go into effect is if there are obstacles or figures in the way.
How many movement points does it take for the last hex of a jump if it is on difficult terrain?
2
Per the rules, the last hex is treated as normal movement, so it costs 2 movement points.
Some abilities state movement has to be done in a straight line. What does that mean?
Straight line
It means a straight line of hexes starting with your current location, moving in one direction (no turning around and moving back).

If I loot a "goal" treasure tile in a scenario and then go back to do the scenario again, is the treasure tile still looted?
No
No, unlike numbered treasure tiles, "goal" treasure tiles are reset at the end of every scenario and must be looted again.
Which treasure tile rewards/penalties affect a single character and which affect all characters?
All treasure results (with the following two exceptions) affect only the character that loots the treasure tile. The exceptions are the "Random Side Scenario" reward, which unlocks a new scenario for the entire campaign, and the "Random Item Design" or the "Item Design" reward, which places a set of items in the shop for anyone in the campaign to purchase.
What if I loot an item and there aren't any more copies available?
Gain sell value
You would immediately gain the sell value of the item.
What if I loot an item I already had a copy of?
Sell item
In this case, you would immediately gain the sell value of the item you looted, and place that copy of the item in the city's available supply of items if it was not already there.
Related Rule(s)
If I loot, say, an armor item from a treasure tile and I am already wearing armor, what happens?
Not equipped
You can own any number of items (but only one copy of each). It is not limited only to what you can equip. So when you find armor in a chest and already have armor, you still get to keep the armor you got, you just won't be able to equip it until next scenario. Actually, since you can only equip items in between scenarios, even if you weren't wearing armor, you'd still have to wait to equip the armor you just got.
If an enemy or scenario effect forces me onto a hex with loot, can I automatically pick it up, like end-of-turn looting?
No
No, end-of-turn looting happens only at the end of your turn. You cannot automatically pick up loot at any other time.
Are there restrictions on what I can loot with a Loot ability in regards to line-of-sight or obstacles?
Yes
The specific mechanics are that you can loot all hexes within range X of you, where X refers to "Loot X." This means that if you can target the hex with an attack in that range, you can loot the hex. This means loot is unaffected by monsters or obstacles, but is affected by line-of-sight.
Can I perform a Loot even if there is no Loot in range?
Can I decide not to loot money or treasure tiles in my hex at the end of my turn?
No
End-of-turn looting is not optional. If there are money or treasure tiles in your hex at the end of your turn, you have to loot them.
Related Rule(s)
What happens if a figure is poisoned and a “Heal all” ability is used on it?
Healed
The heal ability is treated just like other heal abilities, so the poison is removed but no damage is healed.
If I draw two 'heal self' rolling modifiers in the same attack, is one heal performed or two?
SIngle heal
Heals from rolling modifiers stack into a single Heal.
How do the heal rolling modifier cards work?
Any time a "Heal" attack modifier card is resolved, the figure who flipped it heals the amount specified. This heal can remove wound and poison like any other heal.
Related Rule(s)
If a heal or other beneficial ability specifies a range, can I affect myself?
Yes
Yes
When a multi target attack has a Gain XP effect, do I get XP for each target?
No

If I am level 9, can I still earn experience?
No
You can still track experience when you are level 9 as a metric for how well you are doing in the scenario, but experience no longer gives you any long-term benefits.
Can I choose not to gain the experience from using an action?
No
No, experience is not optional.
Can I play a card just for the experience?
Perform one part
You have to perform at least one part of the action on the card to gain the experience. If it just says "Attack," you have to attack an enemy to get the experience. If it has "Attack" and "Move," however, you can just move and not attack and still get the experience. A larger experience symbol (as opposed to a small one) is not meant to be tied to any specific ability in the action.
When do you chose which actual element is infused for multi-color element abilities?
End of turn
At the end of the turn, when the element is actually infused.
If an element consumption is attached to an attack, when can I chose to consume the element?
Before the attack
Before the attack
Can you explain the timing of elemental infusions?
Yes
Yes, the main take-away here is that any elements you create on your turn from any source (abilities or items) do not get moved to the strong column until the end of your turn. This means that you cannot create an element (that wasn't already present) and then consume it on the same turn because it won't be available to be consumed until the end of your turn. On the up side, this also means that if an element is already strong or waning at the start of your turn, you can create the element again with your first action, consume the existing element with your second action, and then the element will still go up to strong at the end of your turn even though you just used it.
If I consume an element in the strong column, does it go down to waning or all the way down to inert?
Inert column
Whenever an element is consumed, it always moves down to inert, no matter where it started.
What happens when a figure without an attack deck (like some NPC's) gets hit with Curse or Bless?
Nothing
Nothing. Note that Summons do have an assigned attack deck (the summoning player's).
What specific abilities are prevented by invisibility?
Targeted abilities
Only targeted abilities from enemies (those that say "Target" or "Attack") are prevented by invisibility.
Can you clarify how gaining multiple conditions of the same type is handled?
As per the rule book, you can't have multiple conditions of the same type on a figure. When a figure gains an existing condition a second time, the new instance replaces the old instance, resetting the expiration turn. Note that curse and bless are not assigned to a figure, they are added to a modifier deck (which affects any figure that draws from it) and as per the rules, multiple curse/bless cards can be added to the deck.
What happens if a figure is immobilized or stunned and they are pushed/ pulled?
Still applied
The push/pull can be applied to an immobilized or stunned enemy - the enemy isn't using its limbs to move, it is being pushed/pulled.
What happens when a figure becomes immune to a condition that it already has?
Condition removed
The condition is removed. Note this does not apply to Curse and Bless. Those immunities prevent the card from entering the modifier deck; they do not prevent existing curse/bless cards from being drawn and applying their effect.
How does stun work with persistent effects and passive items?
Not affected
Stun does not affect them, they function normally.
Can a figure still perform actions prevented by disarm, immobilize and stun even if those actions are granted to the figure outside their turn?
No
[Errata] No. The “on their turn” phrase listed in the condition section of the rule book should not be there.
If I get stunned before I have a chance to play my cards for the round, do I have to discard them, or can I take them back and do a long rest?
Discard them
You have to discard them.
Can I voluntarily end positive conditions on myself like Strengthen and Invisible?
If I have both the WOUND and POISON conditions and am healed, what happens?
Both removed
Both conditions are removed and no actual healing takes place.
If I apply POISON with my attack, does it immediately give me +1 on the attack?
No
No. All added effects of an attack are only applied after the amount of damage is resolved. The one exception to this is PIERCE, which is applied at the same time as the damage.
If a condition lasts until the end of my next turn, what exactly does "next turn" mean?
Next full turn
"Next turn" means your next full turn. So if you start a turn with the condition in effect, then at the end of that turn, it is removed. If a monster stuns you on its turn, then your next turn (whether that happens in the current round or the following round) you would be under the effect of stun, and then it would go away at the end of that turn. If you manage to get stunned on your own turn, you would immediately suffer the effects, then you would also suffer from the effects on your following turn in the following round before the effect wore off at the end of that turn. This also applies to conditions on monsters.
Can you perform a Target X ability and not attack anything?
No
No. If you chose to perform the Target X ability, you have to attack something.
Can you perform an Add Target effect and not attack anything?
No
No. If you chose to perform the Add Target, you have to attack something
How does Add Target interact with area attacks?
Add Target always adds a single extra target within the range of your attack to the attack, and this target cannot be an enemy already targeted by the attack (a single attack ability cannot target the same enemy multiple times). So if you got an Add Target effect on an area attack, you could pick one enemy within range but outside of the area (because all enemies in the area are already getting attacked) to get hit by the attack as well. All conditions and other effects of the attack (other than effects that would add additional attack targets) would apply to the added target, as well. Each instance of the Add Target effect adds an additional target to the attack using the above guidelines. Add Target DOES NOT add a hex to the area so effects that apply to the "Area" don't apply to the Add Target. Note that if an attack ability targets everything within a specified range, Add Target would do nothing since you are already targeting everything in that range.
If the attack has targeting or range restrictions, do they still apply to the new target?
Yes
Yes. This includes "exactly at range" restrictions, restrictions that state an effect must exist on the target to be attacked or any other targeting qualifiers specified for the attack.
Are Melee AoE attacks that have hexes that aren't adjacent to the attacker still considered Range 1?
Yes
Yes. So when using Add Target with a Melee AoE attack, the new target must be at range 1.
Can you change the placement/rotation of the AoE pattern after resolving one of the attacks?
No
No. You must decide the AoE pattern placement and rotation before resolving the 1st attack
When is LOS evaluated for each attack in an AoE, all at once before the 1st attack or as each attack is performed?
Per attack
Evaluate LOS for each attack when that specific attack is resolved
Related Rule(s)
If my area of effect for an attack is chiral (not equal to its mirror image) can I use the mirror image of the area instead?
Yes
Yes, in addition to applying any rotation to an area of effect, you can also use the mirror image of the area.
Can I target empty hexes with an area attack?
Yes
While you are not technically "targeting" the empty hex, the hex of an area attack that is within the range specified by the attack can be empty so long as there are enemies in the attack area that are in your line-of-sight.
Can I hit my allies with area attacks?
No
No, unless the action specifically states that you do. An area effect ability shows you the hexes that you can target with an attack, and you cannot target allies with attacks under any circumstances, so, in general, allies are safe from your abilities. Certain classes (the Cragheart, for example), however, have abilities that specifically state that allies in certain situations suffer damage or gain negative conditions, but these cases are clearly stated on the ability cards.
If an Attack has an attached element consumption that grants an effect plus XP (ex: Consume Ice, Stun 1 XP) can you skip the effect and still get the XP? What if the monster dies as part of the Attack
Before you attempt the attack, you chose whether to do the consumption as part of the attack. If you do, you also chose if you want to include the effect as part of the consumption. If you decide to consume the element, you will gain the XP (it is mandatory), even if the monster dies or you decided not to include the Stun.
When do the effects of deaths (like moving Dooms) occur: immediately after the figure dies or after the action completes?
Immediately
Effects of death occur immediately after the figure dies
Related Rule(s)
Can you use an ability that allows a figure to perform an immediate attack if the figure has no current valid targets just to gain XP from the ability?
Can figures without attacks be granted Attacks from ability cards and if so, which attack deck do they use?
Yes
Yes. They use the granting player's attack deck just for the duration of that attack.
If an ability grants an action, can the granted action be performed while in the middle of another action?
No
No. Actions cannot interrupt other actions. The current action must be completed first, then the action granted by the ability is performed.
If a card or item grants an extra action that happens at the end of the turn, when exactly does it occur with respect to other end-of-turn activities?
Before others
The extra action occurs before other end-of-turn activities. Think of it as a third action performed after your normal two actions.
Are the same differentiations used when mitigating "damage from an attack" versus a "source of damage?"
Yes
Yes, when something reduces damage from an attack (namely, Shield), it is specifically referring to a figure making an "Attack" and flipping over an attack modifier card. If you are reducing or negating a "source of damage," that can be anything: attacks, traps, hazardous terrain, retaliate, wound, suffering damage from choosing a different card to lose when short resting, or any other "suffer X damage" text.
What exactly is considered a single-target Attack Action?
Single targets
Any action in which only a single target could be attacked. This excludes actions with multiple separate attack abilities.
Are multi-target attacks where there is only one current valid target or if there are current conditions that limit the attack to only one target considered single-target attacks?
Are abilities that target a single figure with an attack but damage additional figures via other non-attack effects (like suffer damage) still considered single target attacks?
If I kill an enemy with my attack damage, can I still apply the effects of the attack on that enemy (i.e., curse, push, etc.)?
No
No, added attack effects are always applied after the damage. If you kill an enemy with the damage, then it is no longer around to be pushed onto a trap or cursed.
What if I consume an element to turn an attack action into a kill action?
No longer attack
So long as you consume the element and trigger only the kill effect, the word "instead" negates the attack, and it is no longer an attack.
If an ability allows me to "kill" an enemy, is that considered an attack?
No
No, unless the ability says "attack," it is not an attack.
Targeted definition
An ability is considered targeted only if it says “Target” or “Attack”
Related Rule(s)
Attack effect definition
An attack effect is an effect attached to the attack. It is applied either during damage resolution or after the attack (see list below). If it happens after the attack, it is applied even if the attack does no damage, including due to the NULL or Curse cards. You must choose whether you will do an effect to an attack before you draw a modifier card. Some modifier cards have their own attack effects and you can choose to apply them after you draw if they qualify as optional effects. Attack effects except Add Target are applied before retaliate (Add Target grants a brand new attack and one attack must be resolved completely before another is performed). Some attacks have Abilities (like Heal) that aren't attack effects but that are still attached to the attack. These abilities are applied after the attack is completely resolved (after retaliate).
Attack definition
An attack is a single attack on a single target that flips over a single attack modifier card. If your attack action is, say, "Attack 3," then there is only one attack in your attack action. If it is "Attack 2, Target 3," then your attack action consists of three separate attacks. If the action contains separate "attack" lines, all are part of the attack action. If the attack is an AoE, all attacks performed as part of the AoE are part of the attack action.
Related Rule(s)
Attack ability definition
An ability is considered an attack ability if it has the word "attack" printed on the card.
Attack action definition
An attack action is an action in which an attack is performed. It constitutes any and all attacks made with that specific action. If none of the attack abilities of an action are performed, it is not an attack action.
Action definition
An action is the top half or bottom half of an ability card, or an item or persistent ability that specifically says it grants an "action". An ability that grants another figure an out-of-turn ability (like move or attack) is not an action unless it says "action".

Yes, these are both considered "Heal" effects and thus interact with WOUND and POISON like other "Heal" abilities. Note that the WOUND damage would happen before the effects of the long rest, so you would still take a damage before it was cured.
Can you do a short rest in the last round of a scenario?
Yes
Yes
If I long rest, do I still technically have a turn for the round?
Yes
Yes, on initiative 99, you perform the effects of the long rest, and it is considered a turn, so you can still use items or do other things you would normally be able to do on your turn (unless you are stunned, in which case you are only allowed to perform the effects of the long rest).
If I long rest, do my summons still get a turn during the round?
Yes
Yes, they will act directly before your turn on initiative 99.
If I have zero cards in my hand and two cards in my discard, can I still long rest even though I will become exhausted at the beginning of the next round?
Yes
Absolutely. You can stick around for one more round as a meat shield. Also consider the following question.
When I do a long rest, when do the effects (healing, getting your discards back, refreshing spent items) take place?
Initiative 99
The effects from a long rest occur during your turn on initiative 99.

Related Rule(s)
Per the rules, obstacles cannot be created/placed such that they block off an area of the map. How does this work with doors that may be opened or closed in a future turn?
Closed
Consider only the current state of doors when determining if an area will be blocked off by the obstacle.
Are obstacles with hit points considered enemies? Can they be poisoned, wounded, etc.?
Immune to conditions
Obstacles with hit points are technically considered enemies for all ability purposes, but they are immune to all negative conditions and to force move abilties (like push/pull).
If a figure is flying on top of something (like an obstacle), are they considered adjacent to it?
How does LOS work with destructible walls?
Not blocked
A destructible wall hex does not block LOS to itself. However, corners shared with other walls do block LOS to the wall hex. So a destructible wall cannot be targeted until at least one of its corners does not touch another wall and you have LOS to that corner.
Do the corners and edges of walls block LOS?
Yes
Yes, if the sight line touches any corner or edge of a wall, or any corner or edge of a hex that is considered a wall, LOS is blocked.
If an enemy is on the other side of this one-dimensional wall line from me, can I hit him with a melee attack?
No
Not with a non-AoE melee attack. All range, even range 1 melee attacks, can't be counted through walls. In fact, for all intents and purposes (including looting), these two hexes are not adjacent and considered two hexes apart. Note that AoE Melee attacks use their diagram (not adjancency) to determine if a target is in range. The following image shows the range (4 red hexes) between a source and a target. The blue line shows their LOS.
What exactly is considered a wall?
Edge of map tile
The edge of any map tile and the entire area of any partial hex along the edge are considered walls unless they are covered by a corridor tile. Doors are also considered walls when they are closed. Where the edge of a complete hex on a map tile comes up right to the edge of the tile, there is a dark border to remind you that a wall exists at that edge, though it does not technically begin (for cases of line-of-sight) until the edge. If two map tiles are set next to each other such that these dark edges line up (i.e. the border of the first and second room of the first scenario), the wall is considered to still be there as a one-dimensional line.
Are there any adjacency restrictions on what I can target with a melee area attack (area attack containing a grey hex)?
Line of Site
The only restriction is that you have to have line of sight on a figure to target it with an attack. Other than that, if the hex is in the configuration shown on the card, you can attack it.
What are the line-of-sight rules?
Line-of-sight is necessary for all attacks (including every hex of an area attack) and all other abilities that specify a range (including looting, which technically has a range). Any non-attack ability that does not specify a range does not require line-of-sight.
What blocks Line of sight?
Walls and doors
Walls and closed doors are the only things that block Line of Sight

Is the use of an item card mandatory?
Most of the time
The use of items with charges is mandatory if it's conditions are met The use of items with passive effects is mandatory All other uses of items are optionalItem cards with circles to track multiple uses act exactly like persistent ability cards, in that if the situation applies, you must use the item in reaction and lose a charge. Additionally, it should be noted that if the card has a spent icon in the lower right corner, it is not technically spent until all charges have been lost, and so cannot be refreshed through resting or other abilities until all charges have been used.

During turn
Items are only used during your turn unless it is used as a reaction to an enemy (as per its wording) or during a granted out-of-turn action if the action matches the item's restrictions. During your turn you can use an item at any time, including but not limited to: during a movement, after consuming an element and gaining its effects during attack resolution, or after you have taken all your actions - with the following restrictions: - Must meet all restrictions listed on the card - If an item affects an attack (e.g. adds a bonus, an effect, advantage or disadvantage), it has to be used before an attack modifier is drawn - If an item grants an action, it cannot be used in the middle of another action - An item cannot be used before/during "start of turn" effects nor after/during "end of turn" effects

Related Rule(s)
Is the curse deck shared between players and monsters?
No
[R1 Errata] No. The curse deck should be split into two equal decks of 10 cards each (Rev 2 has symbols on the cards denoting this). One deck is exclusively for putting curse cards into the player's attack modifier decks, and the other is exclusively for putting curse cards into the monster's attack modifier deck. So no single attack modifier deck can ever have more than 10 curse cards in it. When a curse card is removed from a player’s attack modifier deck, it is returned to the player curse card deck, and a curse card removed from the monster attack modifier deck is returned to the monster curse card deck. If curses are distributed at the beginning of a scenario, distribute them as evenly as possible to all those affected, with players deciding cases of ambiguity.

Related Rule(s)
What is open information and what is hidden information to the party when setting up the map for a scenario?
Only first room
The intent and recommendation is that you try to only look at the contents of the first room (except for doors, story point markers and objective tokens). However, since all the contents of the map had to be fully displayed in the scenario book, it is technically open information. Obviously the scenario will be easier if you choose to examine all the contents before hand.
What exactly do you place on the map when you first setup a scenario?
Reveal first room
When setting up, you place all the map tiles, all the doors, all corridor tiles, all the story point markers (1, 2, 3, etc.) and all objective tokens (a, b, c, etc.) and reveal the first room. When you reveal a room, you place everything in it.
What is the exact order of my choices at the beginning of a scenario in terms of battle goals, ability cards, and equipped items?
BG - Items - AC
The first thing you should do when starting a scenario (after going through a Road Event when applicable), is look in the scenario book to get the map tiles set up, all the monsters you will be fighting prepared, and apply any scenario effects. Next, you should deal battle goals and choose one. After choosing your battle goals, then you can decided which items you would like to equip from the ones you own (adding in -1 cards to you attack modifier deck when applicable) and which ability cards you would like to start with from the pool of those you have available to you.
Do allied monsters count towards battle goals?
Does becoming exhausted from lack of cards affect my hit points in any way for the purposes of the "Fast Healer" and "Masochist" battle goals?
No
No, you can still achieve those battle goals after being exhausted if your hit points were in the correct range when you were exhausted.
What damaging effects are modified by attack modifier cards?
Only attacks
Only attacks (specified by the "Attack" keyword) are modified by attack modifier cards. Traps, hazardous terrain, retaliate, wound, and any "suffer X damage" text do not cause attack modifier cards to be drawn.
In cases of ambiguity where players decide the outcome, how should the players decide? Should they do what is best for themselves or worst for themselves?
Up to you
It is up to you. That is why you are deciding. It is assumed that you would decide whatever is best for you, but, again, it is up to you. Note that ambiguity with respect to attack modifier cards drawn for advantage/disadvantage are not decided by the players - the rule book states how to resolve that (use the first drawn card).

Values and effects
All effects listed on the card (negative conditions, elements, healing, etc.) have a positive but undefined value. Note that only the values and effects as listed on the cards and the attack's value (used for the 2x modifier) are considered when doing a comparison. This includes any listed bonuses on the cards that are in effect for the attack, such as from a performed elemental consumption. No other game effects or conditions should be considered (like poison, wound or item effects). Thus, these would be the rulings in the following cases: 2x and Attack 2 vs +2: Ambiguous (2 x 2 = 2 + 2) 2x and Attack 2 vs +1: 2x is better (2 x 2 > 2 + 1) 2x and Attack 1 + 1 from consumption vs +1: 2x is better (2 x 2 > 2 + 1) +1 vs +2: +2 is better +1 Stun vs +1: +1 Stun is better +0 Stun vs +2: Ambiguous +1 Stun vs +1 Fire: Ambiguous +0 Muddle vs +2 Stun: Ambiguous

Adjustment vs new
“Ability +X” makes an adjustment to an existing ability while “Ability X” grants the figure a new ability.
Can I choose to not perform specific parts of an action and what is considered a negative effect?
Yes (good), No (bad)
You may not skip the following abilities/effects: * Negative effects: Effects that when performed will (not may) reduce hit points, lose cards, or apply a negative condition to yourself or an ally . * Stand alone infusions (i.e. not attached to a specific ability). Note that infusions gained from modifier cards are considered attached to the attack so they can be skipped. Also, for characters, at least one ability on the action must be performed in order to gain the standalone Infusion. This is not true for monsters, they cannot skip abilities and do perform their infusion even if they can't perform another ability during their action. * XP granting abilities, whether standalone or attached to another ability. If standalone, at least one ability on the action must be performed in order to gain the XP. * +/- X ability adjustments from modifier cards. * Individual targets of an AoE attack - if you do the attack, all eligible targets in the area must be attacked. Note that Add Target and Target X are not AoE abilities and can be skipped. For Target X, you may attack less than X targets. * Charges and their effects of a multi-use item or ability if the triggering conditions have been met You may skip any other ability or effect, including some or all effects attached to an attack but you must chose to do so BEFORE drawing an attack modifier card.
Can I change the order of the abilities in an Action?
No
No, any abilities that you choose not to skip must be performed in the order listed in the card.
Are separate attacks from an ability (like an AoE) resolved separately or simultaneously?
Separately
They are resolved separately in any order the player wishes. Separate attack abilities in the same attack action are resolved in the sequence they are written. No attacks are resolved simultaneously. You resolve one attack, including any additional effects of the attack like push/pull or retaliation, then resolve the next attack.
When an ability says "Do X to get Y", do I get Y, regardless of the results of X?
Yes
X and Y happen simultaneously so you always get Y. However, you may still not be able to benefit from Y if X causes you to be exhausted and Y is an effect contingent upon you doing something after your are exhausted (like resolving an attack or moving).
When an ability has a conditional bonus (like Move 4, Add +2 move if X is true) when is the condition evaluated?
Before ability
The condition is evaluated before you perform the ability. So if during the move something negates X, you still get the +2 move bonus.
When are abilities that say "on your next attack action" (and similar) actually triggered?
After chosen target
They trigger after declaring the target of the first attack but before drawing the modifier card.
How do I know if an ability/effect is attached to the prior ability or is a separate ability?
Large font
- Abilities with large fonts are considered separate abilities - Due to card size constraints, sometimes a separate ability will have smaller font. However, these will have more spacing between them to denote they are separate abilities. - An ability/effect that references the preceding ability is attached to that ability and will typically be printed with small font.
If a card has the lost symbol, do I have to perform all abilities on the card to lose it?
No
No, performing any ability on the card causes you to lose the card. However, you do not lose the card if you play it as a basic Attack2 / Move2. You must perform some ability of the action to actually lose the card
What is the designation of cards in my active area? Are they considered in my hand or in their own class or what?
Lost or discarded
Cards in your active area MAY be moved to the discard or lost pile (depending on their symbol or the symbol of the action which placed them there) at any time and in order to meet game requirements, so you can think of them as already discarded or lost. When you recover discard cards (by resting, for example) or lost cards (through special actions), you have the choice of picking up corresponding cards in your active area OR leaving them in play. Discardable cards in the active area may be lost to negate damage (technically moving them to the discard pile first). Cards in the active area are not considered to be in your hand.
If I recover cards during my second action, can I recover the card I just played with my first action?
Yes
Yes. As soon as a card is used, it is placed in the appropriate pile, so if your first card played is lost, you could recover it with your second card if it allows for such.
If I play a card for its basic action, but the corresponding action on the card has the lose symbol, do I still lose the card?
No
No, only if you perform that specific action text does the lose symbol take effect.
Can you lose cards to resolve damage prior to using defense abilities or items?
Do I have to loot something in my hex at the end of my turn?

How does a ranged monster "move" if there is no attack listed on its ability card?
