Once per game per character, if a character occupies the same square as a relic, that character may be given a power action to roll a d6 that can’t be rerolled. This roll is called a relic roll. If the result of that roll is within the indicated range of numbers, the relic is placed on that character’s character card and the character will gain certain abilities, as described on the relic’s card.

If this is the same game effect for every relic, no character can ever attempt two relic rolls and the Book of the Skulls is a very sad resource.

Additionally, outwit is different.

"Game effects which grant the use or possession of another game effect have no effect if the recipient can already use the new effect."

The second such object would provide no benefit because of that.


And the rule of occupancy does not prevent two objects from occupying the same square.

You may not use a Relic roll more than once per turn as a free action.

The "Once per game" applies to each Relic, but the actual Relic roll is the effect. You can indeed pick up a Relic as a Power Action and then a Free Action, but you can not attempt a Relic roll more than once per turn as a Free action.

This is an older issue and had been discussed before. The previous ruling has not changed.

Thank you for that. It's what I expected, but it's good to be clear.

Yes, thank you for the clarification.

Thanks Chris!

Thanks for posting, Cat!
