Occult Reliquary

Occult Reliquary
  • Q: Hidden Pocket and Occult Reliquary both give you an additional slot, but allow you to choose what type of slot you gain. Are you allowed to change your mind about what kind of slot you gain from these effects (similar to the other slot-related effects in FAQ 1.24, "Shifting Slots"), or is it determined when the card enters play? A: With cards that allow you to choose what type of slot you gain, you should declare a slot type immediately, but you can still re-assess what type of slot it is once an asset enters play that can use either slot. It’s fine if you play Hidden Pocket, thinking you’ll use the hand slot, but later you play an accessory that you’d rather put in Hidden Pocket instead. (Rules Form, January 2024)

Jeremiah Kirby

Jeremiah Kirby
  • Q: It doesn't seem obvious whether Jeremiah Kirby can find A Chance Encounter (2) or other X-costed cards when looking for even-costed cards. This rules section (https://arkhamdb.com/rules#The_letter_X) makes me think that X=0. 0 is an even number. A: We agree that while an X-costed card exists in a deck, the rule of “X=0 if undefined” would apply. And yes, “0” is an even number. So, it is possible to use Jeremiah Kirby’s ability, choose “even,” reveal A Chance Encounter (2), and draw it. (Rules form, December 2023)

Take Heart

Take Heart
  • Q: Player A is performing a skill test and commits Take Heart to the test. In the same test, Player B commits Self-Sacrifice to the same test. If the test fails: 1. Could you pick the order of the cards triggering (since they have the same trigger point), so if Take Heart triggers first Player A gets the draw/resources? 2. If Self-Sacrifice is triggered first (either by choice or due to 'must'), would Player B gain the draw/resources from Take Heart as part of of the failed test? A: Because the abilities on Take Heart and Self-Sacrifice have the same triggering condition, they can be resolved in either order. If Take Heart is resolved first, then yes, Player A (the performing investigator) would get its benefits, and Player B would resolve any other effects of the failed test and chooses who draws 2 cards. If Self-Sacrifice is resolved first, Player B resolves all effects (of the failed test, the card draw, and the resource gain). (Rules Form, December 2023)
