- Q: Assuming Arbiter of Fates is in play, can I trigger Jacqueline Fine's reaction triggered ability twice in one skill test? A: No. Each reaction triggered ability may be triggered only once each time the specified condition on the ability is met, and cannot react to itself. Jacqueline cannot trigger her ability a second time when revealing tokens, be it for a generic skill test or while resolving Dark Future. (September 2023)
- Q: After initiating a standard fight action or triggered fight ability on a non-melee asset can the reaction ability on Ice Pick be used to play Grievous Wound? A: No. With Grievous Wound, you need to have initiated a fight/attack with an ability on a melee asset. Ice Pick does not initiate a fight/attack. (August 2023)
- Q: Can damage/horror be "moved" to asset cards without health/sanity (e.g. .45 Automatic)? If not, what about asset cards like Relentless that can have damage placed on it? Can the damage/horror "moved" exceed the upper limit of health/sanity of the asset card? A: No, damage/horror can’t be moved to asset cards without health/sanity, similar to how they can’t be dealt or assigned damage/horror. No. Relentless can only have damage placed on it in the manner described by its ability, and can’t have damage moved to it. No. A card will be defeated immediately if the damage/horror moved to it exceeds its health/sanity (August 2023).
Q: If performing the Shift ability on the Unstable side of a key would not affect each investigator or each enemy in play, can I still shift the key? A: To perform a Shift ability on a key, you must resolve as much of that ability as possible, and if that ability changed the game state at all, you are considered to have successfully shifted that key. For example, to shift The Last Blossom from its Unstable side, you must heal at least 1 damage from an enemy in play (though you must heal 1 damage from as many enemies as possible). Similarly, in order to shift The Bale Engine from its Unstable side, at minimum 1 investigator needs to discard 1 resource (but each investigator must discard as many resources as possible, to a max of 3).

Q: If I play On the Hunt or Kicking the Hornet's Nest and draw an enemy with the concealed keyword, where does it spawn? A: Both events instruct you to spawn the searched enemy engaged with you instead of its normal spawn location. For enemies with the concealed keyword, their “normal spawn location” is in “the shadows.” So, playing either event allows you to circumvent the concealed keyword and instead spawn the searched enemy engaged with you. (Rules Q&A, August 2023)
Q: Can the Emissary from Yuggoth be chosen as a target for Kicking the Hornet's Nest despite being massive? If so, does the investigator playing it receive the clue and resources from Kicking the Hornet's Nest, given that the 'then' keyword in Kicking the Hornet's Nest indicates that the previous effect must have been fully resolved? A: Yes. Drawing Emissary from Yuggoth spawns it at your location, and it’s considered engaged with you automatically (though no engagement step occurs to trigger abilities). The investigator will receive the clue and resources. (September 2023)
