Desiccation

Desiccation
  • Q: When extra cost applies to playing a card (e.g. Desiccation from The Feast of Hemlock Vale Campaign, "As an additional cost for an investigator to play a card, they must take 1 damage"."), can we play cards "at no cost"(e.g. Tony's .38 Long Colt, "After you play Tony's .38 Long Colt: Play another Tony's .38 Long Colt from your hand, at no cost.") and ignore these extra costs? A: Tony’s .38 Long Colt reaction ability allowing you to play a second copy “at no cost” specifically allows you to bypass its resource cost. If Desiccation is in play when you use this ability, you must still take the 1 damage to play the second copy. (Rules Forum Answer, March 2025)

Robert Castaigne

Robert Castaigne

  • Q: Hi! I have a question about the Robert Castaigne (4) card. Its text says: '...Then, you may either discard the revealed asset to draw 1 card, or play that asset (paying its cost).' By saying 'you may either,' does that mean I can choose to do neither option and simply keep the weapon in my hand? If so, that would allow me to gain a free combat action every turn without spending an action, without triggering attacks of opportunity, and with unlimited ammo. That seems overwhelmingly strong, almost broken, and it would make the 'discard the card' requirement nearly meaningless. However, some people in the community are interpreting it this way, so I’d like to confirm whether this was the intended ruling for the card or not. A: Given Robert Castaigne states you “may either” do one of the given options, not you “must either,” you are able to choose neither option and keep the revealed asset in your hand. If this card’s ability continuously yields unintended play patterns, we will address that at a future date; for now, play its ability as written. (Rules Forum Answer, March 2025) NOTE: This is further clarified in FAQ v2.4 below.

  • Q: Since the upgraded Robert Castiagne’s ability states I “may” discard the revealed asset or play it, can I choose neither option? A: Correct. The “may” in his ability means that you can choose to do one of the two options, or neither of them. (Official FAQ v2.4, July 2025)
