Q: When parallel Father Mateo plays Guided by Faith, can he use his ability to seal one of the bless tokens that was just added and then resolve that sealed bless token to discover an additional clue? A: Yes; Parallel Father Mateo can play Guided by Faith, use his free triggered ability to seal one of the Bless tokens on himself, then use his reaction triggered ability to resolve the sealed Blessed token. This token is treated as having been “revealed” during the test, so he will discover an additional clue. (Rules Forum Answer, November 2024)

Q: I have question about ability of investigator parallel Mateo - "...resolve the bless token sealed on them instead. Release that token". In the article is written that this resoved bless token is released back into the bag (not to token pool). I would like to confirm, that this works in that way always, also during the tests, because I think that on the card should be written "put this token to chaos bag instead of token pool" ( because effect of bless token resolved in tests is: "Reveal another token. Instead of returning this token to the chaos bag, return it to the token pool"). A: Parallel Father Mateo’s reaction ability returns the resolved bless token to the chaos bag instead of the supply. The ability stating the token is “released” is intended to clarify that, but we acknowledge that it could have been more explicitly stated. (Rules Forum Answer, November 2024)

- Q: I have a a couple questions about the timing and resolution of Amina Zidane's signature events Word of Weal and Word of Woe. Word of Weal states "Fast. Play when you perform a skill test on an asset with 1 or more doom on it." Is this to be interpreted as "play during a skill test on an asset with 1 or more doom on it" and as such is played during one of the two player windows before and after committing skills? Or is it to be interpreted as "when a skill test on an asset with 1 or more doom on it begins" since the word "when" indicates the moment when something would happen but before resolving its impact on the game state. Additionally for both Word of Weal and Word of Woe, when do we resolve the clause that shuffles the other into your deck if it is present in your discard pile? For Word of Woe it's not clear to me whether you shuffle Word of Weal into your deck after completing the action triggered ability in full, or in between placing the doom and resolving the action triggered ability. For Word of Weal, it's likewise not clear to me whether you shuffle Word of Woe into your deck immediately (or rather after creating the lasting/delayed effect to add your Willpower to the skill test being performed), or after completing the skill test being performed. A: Word of Weal can be played during either free player window of a skill test, so long as there is doom on the chosen asset by the time of playing. Once you’ve used its ability to add willpower to your skill value, you can shuffle Word of Woe into your deck if able; you do not wait until after you’ve resolved the test. Word of Woe can shuffle Word of Weal into your deck after you’ve fully resolved the ability on the chosen asset. (Rules Forum Answer, October 2024)

- Q: I have question about last e-mail ruling which I saw recently in web: "Resolving a sealed bless token with Tidal Memento does not count as revealing that token for eye of the Djinn's ability. Similarly resolving a bless or curse token via Book of Living Myths does not count as revealing that token for Read the Signs (2)'s ability." Is that really true and is this the intention of the Book of Living Myths to work this way? Because if this is true Book of Living Myth would be very weak card. It would have no synergy with many cards, not only "Read the signs (2)", but also "Paradoxical Covenant", "Fey" and much more other cards. I and many other members of Horror Arkham LCG's community were shocked when we saw this mail. We have thought so far when the card say that any chaos token is resolved that always mean that is also revealed and this mail contradicts our reasoning. A: When we received the email mentioned, we were certain about how we wanted to rule on Tidal Memento, and it made sense to treat Book of Living Myths the same because of how similarly it is worded. However, Book of Living Myths was designed to function like your interpretation of it, where the searched token is “revealed and resolved” rather than just “resolved,” and its effect can combo with Read the Signs, Paradoxical Covenant, Fey, etc. We planned to revisit Book of Living Myths for a potential update, but with the timing of said update uncertain, we will address your concern here: Book of Living Myths does “reveal and resolve” the searched token. This was, and remains, the intention of the card. (Rules Forum Answer, October 2024)
