A. He receives 2 Power, since that is now half the cost of Awakening Cthulhu (since, obviously, he has already been Awakened once). Of course, he could instead just take 2 Elder Signs. That’s what I would do, anyway.

A. Yes. They just can’t use the Move action itself, nor actions that specifically mimic Move (like Screaming Dead).

A. No. They’re not Cultists, though Dreams, Zingaya, and Ghroth treat them that way. Crawling Chaos can never get his “Capture” Spellbook requirement from Bubastis, which means you can’t use Crawling Chaos and Bubastis as opponents in a 2-player game. Except as a prank, I guess.

A. Yes, because Yog-Sothoth is an Enemy-controlled Gate in the ocean!

A. Ancient Sorcery doesn’t affect the targeted Faction at all. However, I think what you mean is, “how does Sleeper benefit from using Ancient Sorcery on Great Cthulhu or Yellow Sign?” The answer in the first case is that a unique ability that names a specific Great Old One allows Sleeper to apply that ability to Tsathoggua. Thus, if Ancient Sorcery affects Great Cthulhu, Sleeper can re-Awaken Tsathoggua for 4 Power (and will also earn 1 Elder Sign). With regards to Yellow Sign, during the Gather Power Phase, Sleeper will gain 1 Power for each Area containing one or more of his Units plus a Desecration token (which, admittedly, had to be created by Yellow Sign).

A. No. All Proto-Shoggoths must “vibrate” in the same way, so if you have 4 in an Area, you can either roll 8 dice, OR roll 4 dice and subtract 4 from the enemy dice total; no Mister In-Between. (and if the enemy’s reduction goes to below 0, he still just rolls 0. No negative Combat ratings!)

A: It means that it cannot be responded to by abilities like Unspeakable Oath (if playing with High Priests) or Great Cthulhu’s Devolve. Additionally, it means that it doesn’t transfer Baphomet’s Fury more than once per Scavenge activation. If you Killed or were Killed by multiple enemies at the end of any use of Scavenge, then choose which eligible player would receive it.

A: If Great Cthulhu had Baphomet’s Fury and faux “Killed” a Unit, but it remained in play (as per Torment) then he wouldn’t receive his “Kill/Devour a Unit in Battle” Spellbook(s), as no Unit was actually Killed or Devoured.
A: If Opener had Units “Killed” via Torment, they would be able to “upgrade” with Million Favored Ones. A: If Crawling Chaos had Baphomet’s Fury and was to Kill an enemy Great Old One, it wouldn’t trigger Harbinger, as that Unit never was Killed or Eliminated because of the replacement effect of Torment.
A: Any Unit Killed/Eliminated pre-battle, like being Devoured by Cthulhu while Great Cthulhu has the Baphomet’s Fury, would stay in play for the rest of the Battle (provided that the Power could be afforded during Pre-Battle to keep that Unit alive). Keep in mind that you calculate/resolve Torment whenever an effect happens, not at the end of an Action. This means that Units could be “spared” during Pre-Battle only to be later lost during Combat resolution if they don’t have the Power to cover those costs. In this way as well, Units can somewhat absorb multiple “Deaths” during a Battle, as those are prevented by Torment (provided those are caused by Pre-Battle abilities). Torment does not change that Units (other than Starspawn) can only absorb 1 Combat result.
A: Windwalker’s Cannibalism wouldn’t trigger if Torment prevented the Kills in an Area.
A: Torment is not a Battle ability and also affects things like Ghroth and Dread Curse. This is not always a penalty and can be used in clever ways to degrade your opponents.

A. Rhan Tegoth’s Eternal ability only cancels the effect of a Kill or Pain on Rhan Tegoth itself, not the effect such a result has on other abilities and Spellbooks. In other words, Nyarlathotep can gain Power or Elder Signs and Cthulhu can earn a Spellbook when the result is assigned to Rhan Tegoth, even when Eternal is used to cancel the effect.

A. This describes any Actions involving Units that finish their turn in the Area, or that do something to the Area itself. For example, Units can Move OUT of the Area for no extra cost. But moving INTO the Area costs an additional Power (not per Unit, just for the entire Move Action). For other examples, if Yellow Sign tried to Desecrate the Area, it would cost one additional Power. If Cthulhu emerged from Submerge in the Ice Age Area, he would pay one additional Power (but not if he left the Area via Submerge). Great Cthulhu’s Devolve is not an Action, so it is still free, though using Dreams would cost him three Power. Black Goat’s Avatar would cost one additional Power as at least one Unit will be ending that Action in that Area (even if the Unit ending up in that Area is not a Black Goat Unit). Opener of the Way’s Units can Promote after Battle and Sleeper can use Death From Below in the Ice Age Area free of cost, as these are not Actions. If Sleeper declares Lethargy while Tsathoggua is in the Ice Age Area, it costs one Power. If you use a multiple-Area Action, such as if you used Mother Hydra’s Zygote, and placed at least one Recruited Cultist there, it would cost an additional Power.

A. Undimensioned specifies that you may only rearrange Units among your Areas. So, you could not swap out a Cultist who is Cursed Slumbering with one from the Map, or change which Units are currently Submerged with Cthulhu, since these are not Areas. (When Cthulhu is Submerged he uses incalculable geometry such that even beings who are temporarily dimensionless cannot reach him).

A. In an Elder Thing’s Area, Cthulhu can’t Devour. He can still use Submerge and Y’Ha Nthlei, as those are Spellbooks, not Great Old One special abilities. This ability also works on Independent Great Old Ones (but only their special abilities, and not their Spellbooks). Nyarlathotep can’t use Harbinger, Azathoth can be Killed with a single Kill result, and so on. Shub-Niggurath can’t Avatar out of an Area containing an Elder Thing, but she could use Avatar to enter an Area containing an Elder Thing because she is not in that Area at the moment she uses her Avatar ability. (And the player controlling Bokrug could lose his Loyalty Card!)

In some cases, Mind Control can cancel the abilities of Great Old Ones. For example—if Tsathoggua is in an Elder Thing’s Area, then he can’t use Lethargy. If Ithaqua is in an Elder Thing’s Area, then Ferox is not in effect for any of his Cultists (of course, if an Elder Thing is merely in the same Area as one of Windwalker’s Cultists, but NOT in Ithaqua’s Area, Ferox is still in effect). Likewise, Abhoth could put a Filth Token in an Elder Thing’s Area, so long as Abhoth himself does not share an Area with an Elder Thing. Some Spellbooks might be affected, even though they are not directly negated by Elder Things. For example: The King in Yellow can’t Desecrate, which means that his Third Eye Spellbook can’t be used, either (a similar effect happens to Cthugha and Ghatanothoa when they have their respective Firestorm and Execration of Mu Spellbooks).

A. A Spellbook action or effect that is partly complete remains that way and can be completed despite a Moonbeast’s cancellation. A new action or effect would be prevented. So for example, if Cthulhu has Submerged before the Moonbeast’s arrival, he can emerge. Similarly, if Sleeper has a Cursed Slumber Gate, it can remain where it is or return, but a new Gate can’t be Cursed.

A. Yes! Although Miri Nigri does not technically add 3 Combat to aparticular Unit (as with Absorb), the fact that you will roll Combatdice means that you can initiate Battle even if all you have is a singleCultist (on that Gate) in the Area.

A. Affected third party Factions cannot use Battle Spellbooks orabilities. They can still benefit from non-Battle Spellbooks andabilities.

A. Cthulhu gains 1 Elder Sign upon Awakening Nyogtha. If only 1 of 2Nyogtha units is Awakened, Great Cthulhu does not receive an Elder Sign.

A. Yes. Even though Avatar specifically works on Faction Monsters, Zoogsare all identical so it doesn’t matter which one in the given Area ischosen to swap places with Shub-Niggurath. If the Zoog is sent viaAvatar to an Area that is NOT a Citadel, then the Zoog is Eliminatedfrom the Map.

A. Yes! (But not for Devour, since that doesn’t affect the Watcher).
