FAQ & Elaborations

  1. ↑ This cannot bring its cost below 0.
  2. ↑ The token has to be spent. Effects that simply remove tokens from pieces would not trigger this effect.
  3. ↑ This includes situations such as ending up in either the 'slain' or 'removed from the board' zones, then being brought back to the board, and excludes situations like being deployed at the start of the game.
  4. ↑ Water is a terrain that has all the properties of Trees, except for any rules that call out how a piece or rule interacts with it.
  5. ↑ This does not observe dice that have been temporarily removed from it by other rules (eg. the Keeper of the Circle's Ouroboros rule).
  6. ↑ If there were already tarot cards already dealt out, shuffle them away before naming a card.
  7. ↑ Otherwise you make the first card that was dealt out active.
  8. ↑ If each die rolled produces results of 2, 3, or 4, this does allow you to potentially Divinate twice (in such case you resolve them one after the other), or in the case you choose to gain an Advantage token and Divinate, you choose the order those happen in.
