Confuse, Confused

Confuse is a status that cancels a character’s next scheme or thwart.

  • If an ability “confuses” a character, give that character a confused status card.

  • A character is confused if it has a confused status card.

    • A character with the steady keyword is confused only if it has two confused status cards.

  • If a character has an ability stating that it “cannot be confused,” confused status cards cannot be placed on that character.

  • If a confused identity or ally attempts to thwart or use a thwart ability, discard the confused card instead. Costs associated with the thwart attempt, including exhausting the character, must still be paid.

    • A confused character can attempt to thwart or use a thwart ability even if it has no valid target for a thwart.

  • If a confused villain or minion would scheme, discard the confused status card instead.

  • As the thwart action or scheme activation was replaced by the removal of the confused status card, that character is not considered to have thwarted or schemed.
