- Q: I have a couple of questions about how Agatha’s ability works and when it can be used. Based on previous rulings you’ve provided: "Q: I have a question about some card interactions for cards that trigger “at the end of your turn” and “during your turn.” To give a specific example, if Monterey Jack’s reaction ability draws Cryptic Writings, is he allowed to trigger Cryptic Writings’ ability and play it? More generally, when an ability triggers “at the end of my turn,” is that considered “during my turn”? And similarly, if an ability triggers “at the start of my turn,” is that also considered “during my turn”? A: Short answer: Yes, “at the end of your turn” is still “during your turn,” so you would be able to play Cryptic Writings if you drew it with Monterey Jack’s triggered ability. (By extension, “at the start of your turn” should also count as being “during your turn.”)" And regarding Grappling Hook and unused actions: "A: We have reconsidered the previous ruling on Grappling Hook and are making a ruling that we find more intuitive. Essentially, an investigator is given 3 actions to use when their turn begins and forfeits any remaining actions when their turn ends. This means an investigator cannot choose to end their turn with an action remaining and decide to use that action later; that action is instead lost. (Note: The “3 actions per turn” can still be affected by encounter card effects that instruct an investigator to “lose actions.”)" I have the following questions: 1- Can I play Working a Hunch from my discard pile using Agatha’s ability, or does “when your turn ends” no longer count as “during your turn”? 2- Can I end my turn without spending all 3 actions and then use Agatha’s ability—along with an unused action to pay the additional cost—to play Thorough Inquiry from my discard pile? Additionally, to help avoid these kinds of doubts, could you please specify in the FAQs exactly when leftover actions are lost? A: (1) You can play Working a Hunch using Agatha Crane’s ability, because “the end of your turn” is still considered to take place “during your turn.” (2) If you declare that you are ending your turn while you have unspent actions, you forfeit your remaining actions before resolving any “when your turn ends/at the end of your turn” abilities. You would not have an action to spend toward Thorough Inquiry, so you could not play it using Agatha Crane’s ability. We will plan to add an FAQ entry for forfeiting unspent actions.
