## Rules questions

### How do skill tests actually work — what do I compare and do I have to pay for cards I commit?

You start with your investigator’s printed skill, add any icons committed from hand and other modifiers, reveal a chaos token and apply its modifier, and you succeed if your modified skill value is equal to or greater than the test’s difficulty; committed cards are discarded after the test. You do not pay an asset’s resource cost when committing it to a skill test. (Rulebook p.8; Rules Reference p.26)

### If I'm engaged with an enemy and I do something other than Evade, Fight, or use a Parley/Resign ability, do they attack me right away?

Yes — performing any action while engaged other than Evade, Fight, or activating a Parley/Resign ability causes each ready enemy engaged with you to make an attack of opportunity, and engaged enemies’ attacks are then resolved in the enemy phase. (Rulebook p.9; Rules Reference p.25)

### When does a Revelation or Forced ability trigger — do they happen the moment the card is drawn?

A Revelation ability initiates immediately when the encounter or weakness card is drawn by an investigator; a Forced ability triggers automatically at its specified timing point (often phrased “after…”), following the timing rules for simultaneous effects. (Rules Reference p.3)

### How do we advance the act — does spending clues cost an action and what happens to those clues?

Advancing the act is done by the investigators as a group spending the number of clues shown on the act card, it does not cost an action and may be done during any investigator’s turn; spent clues are returned to the general token pool and the act card is flipped to its “b” side and resolved. (Rulebook p.10; Rules Reference p.3)

### Do Fast cards cost an action to play and can they provoke attacks of opportunity?

No — cards with the Fast keyword do not cost an action to play and, because they don’t cost an action, they do not provoke attacks of opportunity; a Fast card may be played whenever its play instructions allow. (Rulebook p.11; Rules Reference pp.11–12)
