Q: Are objectives that are half on your game board and half on your opponent’s game board (because they are in no one’s territory) considered to be on both of those boards?

A: Yes.

Current as of official Nightvault Designer's Commentary, June 2019

Q: What are the actions I must take to score this objective?

A: At least four different actions from this list:

• Move (other than as part of a Charge)
• Attack (other than as part of a Charge)
• Charge
• Guard
• Another action on a fighter card (other than a reaction)

Note that ‘another action on a fighter card’ is counted as a single type of action, so even if you have more than one other action on a fighter card available to you, only one will be counted.

Q: Do actions taken outside of activations (e.g. an Attack action with My Turn) count as actions for the purpose of scoring Keep Them Guessing?

A: Yes (although note the FAQ directly below).

Q: If I put a fighter on Guard without activating them (e.g. by using Inspired Command or Brightshield’s Block upgrade) does that count as making a Guard action for the purpose of scoring Keep Them Guessing?

A: No. When you put a fighter on Guard without activating them, you simply give them a Guard token. This is not an action.

Q: Do actions on upgrades count as an action on a fighter card for the purpose of scoring Keep Them Guessing?

A: No.

Q: If my fighter moves with Faneway Crystal or Inescapable Vengeance, does that count as a Move action (or Charge action, if they are making a Charge action) for the purpose of scoring Keep Them Guessing?

A: Yes.

Q: If I use Hidden Paths, does that count as a Move action for the purposes of scoring Keep Them Guessing?

A: Yes.

Q: Hidden Paths says that the fighter is considered to have made a Move action. Does this count towards triggering cards like Quick Thinker, Kunnin’ But Brutal, and March of the Dead?

A: The fighter gains a Move token but Hidden Paths is not a Move action (or, indeed, an action of any kind). This means that Quick Thinker and Kunnin’ But Brutal cannot be triggered by Hidden Paths (because there was no action to make the reaction to), and you cannot score Cover Ground from Hidden Paths (because it isn’t a Move action). However, as the fighter is considered to have made a Move action in that round, that fighter does count for March of the Dead when you check that in the end phase.

Q: If my fighter hasn’t made a Move action but has one or more Move tokens (e.g. if they were chosen by Transfixing Stare), can I still use Hidden Paths on them?

A: Yes.

Q: Could Last Chance and The Necromancer Commands be triggered by the same Attack action?

A: Yes. Last Chance is a reaction taken during an Attack action that lets you ignore the damage caused by the Attack action. Only Attack actions that cause damage are successful, so the Attack action fails. At that point, if the attacking fighter was one of the Sepulchral Guard, their player could play The Necromancer Commands, which is a reaction taken after an Attack action that fails.

Q: What does ‘normally’ mean for Last Chance? Does it take the fighter’s situation (including supporting fighters, relevant upgrades and ploys) into account, or is it based on the fighter’s Defence characteristic?

A: It is simply based on the Defence characteristic of the fighter – if, for example, the fighter has a Defence characteristic of , a roll of anything other than or will work for Last Chance.

Q: If an enemy fighter would be taken out of action by my fighter’s Attack action, but my opponent uses Soultrap or Last Chance so that they are not taken out of action, can I still drive that fighter back?

A: Yes.

Q: If I play Last Chance or use the reaction on Tethered Spirit or Soultrap during an Attack action to save my fighter, is the Attack action successful?

A: No.

Q: If I’ve made a successful Attack action, but the enemy fighter is saved by Last Chance, meaning that my Attack action fails, what happens if that enemy fighter would then be driven back but is Trapped as described in the rules?

A: Even if the enemy fighter is Trapped, they are not damaged. The Attack action has still failed. This is because Last Chance ignores the damage from that Attack action, whenever that damage is dealt.

Q: If a fighter suffers damage from an Attack action, and then a player plays Trap to inflict an extra 1 damage on that fighter (that would take that fighter out of action), can Last Chance be played?

A: No. Last Chance is played when an Attack action would take a fighter out of action, and Trap is not an Attack action.

Q: Can any combination of the reactions on Last Chance, Last Lunge and Soultrap be made during the same Attack action?

A: No.

Q: If I attack an enemy fighter, then my opponent successfully uses Rebound and the damage would be enough to take my fighter out of action, can I use Last Chance to try to save them?

A: No – the damage is dealt by Rebound, not the Attack action.

Q: Can I play Rebound and then, if that fails, Last Chance as reactions to the same Attack action?

A: Yes.

Q: Can I play Last Chance and Fatal Riposte as reactions to the same Attack action?

A: No. You can play one or the other.

Q: If a fighter with a Defence characteristic on their fighter card is equipped with the upgrade Ethereal Shield, what results are successful for the purposes of Last Chance?

A: Ethereal Shield changes that fighter’s Defence characteristic to , so a roll of anything other than or will work for Last Chance.

Q: Which reactions can be played in the same reaction window as Twist the Knife (thereby preventing the attacking player playing Twist the Knife)?

A: Rebound, No Retreat and the reaction on Unflinching Guardian (this is a complete list for cards published up to June 2019).

Q: Can Sudden Appearance be used to place a fighter that is out of action on the battlefield?

A: No.

Q: If both my opponent and I have upgraded a fighter with Shardcaller, whose Shardcaller works first at the beginning of an action phase?

A: These upgrades would resolve simultaneously, so use the sequencing rules to determine which Shardcaller upgrade takes effect first.

Q: If the Briar Queen has a Move characteristic of 0, can she still make a Move action to be placed on any starting hex using Inescapable Vengeance?

A: Yes.

Current as of official Nightvault Designer's Commentary, June 2019

Q: Can a fighter with this upgrade make a normal Move action?

A: No.

Q: When a fighter with this upgrade makes a Charge action how does it work?

A: The fighter does not move normally. Instead, you place them on any objective token. Note that you must still follow the other rules for making a Charge action, so there must be an enemy fighter within range and line of sight of one or more of the moving fighter’s Attack actions at the end of its move.

Q: Can a fighter with a Move characteristic of 0 still use Faneway Crystal to Move to an objective token?

A: Yes (with the exception of fighters that cannot make Move actions, like the Stalagsquig).

Current as of official Nightvault Designer's Commentary, June 2019

Q: If I use my Potion of Rage during an Attack action that targets all adjacent fighters, does the +2 Dice apply to each of those Attack actions, or just one of those Attack actions?

A: Just one – the one in which you take the reaction.
