 Q: When can I use an ability and how many times can I
use it?
A: If an ability has the word Attack, Defense, or Combat as a timing
condition, you can use them only once per combat! Which means you
can use it once every Attack action you perform, or once every attack
you suffer from an Enemy. Of course, if the ability says Attack, you
can only use it during your Attack action. If it says Defense, you can
only use it when you get attacked. Combat means you can use it in
both situations. If an ability has Move as a timing condition, it means
it can only be used during a Move action. Please note that most of those
abilities also include a cost or another requirement, like spending Some abilities have the keyword Anytime. These abilities can be used

more than 1 Mana, they can’t spend more Mana during the same combat to
trigger its effect again. Q: How many times can an Enemy’s special ability trigger?
A: Enemies’ special abilities are triggered by the rolled on Enemy
dice. Different from Combat abilities on Heroes, Enemies can trigger
their Abilities as many times as they can, as long as they have enough
on their dice roll for doing that. For example, if an ability only
needs 1 to be triggered and 3 were rolled, that ability will be
triggered 3 times during that attack. But remember that dice can be
triggered in any order, so the Hero may benefit from that, if possible.

NOTE: In some rare exceptions, there are Enemies whose ability

may only trigger once. In these cases, it is specified in the Enemy’s
special ability description.

using the Forge Gate spell?
A: No. You can only use the Forge Gate spell to place Heroes in Forges
inside Chambers that have been already revealed.

Q: Can the Wizard or the Paladin rearrange their skills?

A: No. Once you have allocated a skill in a Consecration column or

Mode, where the Paladin and Wizard can rearrange their skills
during the setup of each Quest at the beginning of the Quest Phase.
