Q: Can the card Empty Vessel be used in a Vincent Lee deck? As Hallowed Mirror has been ruled "yes" to that question, Empty Vessel seems to fall into the same category of a card that doesn't heal by itself, but its bonded card does. A: Yes, Vincent Lee can run Empty Vessel in his deck. For the purposes of deckbuilding requirements, bonded cards can be considered as part of the game text of the card to which they are bonded.

Q: Can you play a card or use an action to heal while at full health/sanity? I.e. Playing Soothing Melody to draw a card while at full health/sanity. A: No, you cannot normally heal a card that is at full health/sanity.
Follow-up Q: While you have Soul Sanctification in play, can you play a card or use an action to heal your investigator while your investigator is at full health/sanity? For example, can I play Emergency Aid on my full health investigator to generate two resources on Soul Sanctification? A: Yes—Soul Sanctification makes a specific exception to the rule I stated previously [see above]. With Soul Sanctification, you are able to "heal” your investigator even if you are at full health/sanity, and place any excess points healed onto Soul Sanctification as an offering. Emergency Aid would place 2 offerings on SS.

Q: I have a question regarding weaknesses and Dilemma cards with Revelation abilities: If due to card effects (e.g. Deep Knowledge), both Amnesia card and At a Crossroads are drawn, is it possible to freely choose their resolution order? If so, and I choose to resolve Amnesia first, can I choose to discard the At a Crossroads I just drew? If I choose to resolve At a Crossroads first, choose myself to immediately get an action and then randomly discard 1 card from my hand, could Amnesia be randomly discarded due to this effect? The reason I'm having a problem with this is because I don't understand where At a Crossroads is when I'm resolving Amnesia? Is it in my hand or in "Limbo"? A: Good questions. We are ruling that the Revelation ability on a Weakness (or encounter) card must be resolved before the Revelation ability on a Dilemma card. We don’t believe this is explicitly stated, but we would like to include that in the next FAQ update. And yes, if you resolved the ability on Amnesia first, it would be possible to discard At a Crossroads, since it’s a card that’s in your hand at the time. At a Crossroads isn’t in limbo until you’re resolving its ability.
