FAQ
Q: If Angharad Brightshield is attacked, and becomes Inspired as a result of her defence roll, can she use her Furious Parry reaction if the attack fails?
A: No. She only becomes Inspired at the next Inspire step after the Attack action is resolved, which means the opportunity to react with Furious Parry has already passed.
Q: Can Angharad's Furious Parry be used in the same way as other Attack actions, or can it only be used as a reaction?
A: It can be used in the same way as other Attack actions.

FAQ
Q: How does the Inspire condition for Spiteclaw's Swarm work?
A: Each fighter from Spiteclaw’s Swarm becomes Inspired in the Inspire step that follows them being chosen by a ploy. A fighter is only ‘chosen’ by a ploy if that ploy contains the word ‘choose’ and tells you to choose one or more fighters, and you choose that fighter.

FAQ
Q: How does Cleave work against Ammis and Rastus from Stormsire's Cursebreakers when they are Inspired?
A: When an Attack action has Cleave, the target cannot count 
Block symbols as successes in their defence roll. This means that Ammis and Rastus, once Inspired can use 
Dodge and 
Critical success symbols (and any relevant support symbols) but not Block symbols as successes when they are the target of an Attack action with Cleave.
Q: If one of my fighters casts a spell, when does that fighter become Inspired?
A: In the Inspire step after the spell has been resolved.
In the case of a spell that remains in effect until a particular event, such as Sphere of Ghur, that spell is not considered to be resolved until after that event, and the fighter will not be Inspired until the Inspire step that follows that point.
In the case of the Empower spell action, and spells that persist, such as Eldritch Haze, these spells are considered to be resolved once they have been cast, meaning that the fighter is Inspired in the first Inspire step after they cast the spell.
Q: Is the ability on the Inspired side of Rastus and Ammis' fighter cards a modifier to their Defence characteristic?
A: No.

FAQ
Q: Is the action on Vortemis' card to summon the Blue Horror a spell?
A: No.
Q: Does K'charik become Inspired if he is adjacent to Turosh, Narvia or a Horror when they make a successful Attack action?
A: No - their Attack actions are not spells.
Q: Does K'charik become Inspired if he is adjacent to an enemy wizard that casts a spell?
A: Yes.
Q: Can the Blue Horror ever be taken out of action? Can a player gain a glory point for taking the Blue Horror out of action? Can objectives connected with taking fighters out of action be scored by taking the Blue Horror out of action?
A: No. When the Blue Horror would be taken out of action, it is replaced by the Brimstone Horrors. It is never taken out of action.
Q: If a Blue Horror would be taken out of action by damage during its Move or Charge action (e.g. because of a lethal hex), what happens?
A: The Blue Horror miniature is replaced with the Brimstone Horrors miniature in the hex in which the Blue Horror would have been taken out of action. Clear all tokens from the fighter. If the fighter has not yet moved a number of hexes equal to their Move characteristic, they can continue that Move action. If the fighter was making a Charge action, they finish resolving that Charge action. In either case, the fighter gains one Move or Charge token as normal.
Q: Does the Blue Horror/Brimstone Horrors begin the game out of action?
A: Yes.
Q: Do the Blue Horrors and Brimstone Horrors count as being two fighters out of action at the beginning of the game, or one?
A: One.

FAQ
Q: Is the Action on Sourtongue Inspired's fighter card a Move, Charge or Attack action?
A: No.
Q: When I use Snirk Inspired's special action, do I push him 1 hex at a time, resolving the effects on other fighters after each push, or all 3 hexes at once after pushing any fighters out of the way?
A: 1 hex at a time. Note that this is an exception to how a fighter pushed with Scatter normally works (in which case they are pushed the full distance all at once), to allow for the impact that Snirk has on other fighters. Also note that Snirk's push is not complete until he has been pushed 3 hexes or his push is prevented as described on his fighter card. This means that you cannot, for example, play the reaction on Lurker as a reaction to Snirk's push until Snirk's push is complete.
Q: When Snirk would scatter into a fighter that cannot be pushed, how much damage is each fighter dealt in total?
A: Snirk is dealt 1 damage, and the fighter that cannot be pushed is dealt 1 damage.
Q: How does Mirror Move interact with Snirk Inspired's special action?
A: The Mirror Move reaction can be taken after any other fighter is pushed by Snirk (in which case it is a push of 1 hex) or after Snirk's action is complete (in which case it is a push of the same number of hexes that Snirk was pushed).
Q: Do I have to push Snirk Inspired 3 hexes when I use his special action, or can I choose to only push him 2, 1 or even 0 hexes?
A: You have to push him 3 hexes, unless the push is prevented as described on his fighter card.
Q: If Snirk is pushed during Snirk Inspired's special action by something other than his special action (e.g. by Mirror Move), can I continue to resolve his special action afterwards?
A: No.
Q: Can Snirk Inspired's special action create a chain that extends into an incomplete hex?
A: No. Snirk is not dealt damage when this happens.
Q: Can a gambit let Sourtongue Inspired make a Move, Charge or Attack action, or be on Guard?
A: No.
Q: Can Drizgit use the action on his fighter card to make a Move action himself, even if there are no adjacent or even surviving friendly Squigs?
A: Yes.
Q: When Drizgit uses the action on his fighter card to allow himself and adjacent friendly Squigs to make a Move action, which order are the Move actions resolved in?
A: One at a time, in the order of Drizgit's player's choice.
Q: How does the action on Drizgit's fighter card interact with Scurry?
A: When Drizgit makes a Move action using the action on his fighter card, this can trigger an adjacent friendly fighter's Scurry reaction.
Q: Is Drizgit's Action that allows him and adjacent friendly Squigs to make Move actions a superaction?
A: Yes.

FAQ
Q: What does it mean on the ‘Oath' objective cards when it says to reveal them?
A: If you wish, at the start of your first activation in the action phase, you can reveal any ‘Oath' objective cards to your opponent. This means that you show those cards to your opponent - you should give them time to read the card or cards in their entirety if they wish. Once they are satisfied, return the card to your hand, concealing it once more from your opponent.

Q: When more than one player has a Stalagsquig, how do you determine which is set up first?

FAQ
Q: How does the text in parentheses in Ylthari's Guardians' Inspire condition work?
A: This allows players to use an ability that removes wound tokens from a fighter to Inspire a fighter from Ylthari's Guardians even if that fighter has no wound tokens on their fighter card. For example, Healing Pulse or Healing Amphora can both be used to Inspire fighters from that warband even if the affected fighter has no wound tokens on their fighter card. Note that cards like Lifesurge only affect fighters that have wound tokens on their fighter cards, so these cards will not Inspire Ylthari's Guardians unless they have wound tokens on their fighter cards.

Q: How does Lady Harrow Inspired's reaction work during an enemy fighter's Scything attack superaction that doesn't target her?
