When using a Secret Passage token, do players pay MP to move through it, and does the passage affect line of sight or light levels between the connected spaces?
Official Answer
Secret Passage Token Rules
Based on the rulebook context (page 18), here is how the Secret Passage token works:
-
Movement Cost:
The rulebook states:"These spaces now count as adjacent and can be Moved through by all players."
This means that when a Secret Passage connects two spaces, those spaces are considered adjacent for movement purposes.
Players pay the normal MP cost to move between adjacent spaces, as determined by the light level of the destination space (see page 8 and page 19 for movement and adjacency rules).
There is no indication that the Secret Passage changes the MP cost beyond making the spaces adjacent. -
Line of Sight and Light Levels:
The rulebook states:"Secret Passages do not change line of sight or the light level of the underlying spaces."
This means:- The Secret Passage does not allow line of sight between the connected spaces if it would not normally exist.
- The light level (Bright, Dim, or Dark) of each space remains unchanged by the Secret Passage.
Summary
- Players pay the normal MP cost to move through a Secret Passage, based on the light level of the destination space.
- The Secret Passage does not affect line of sight or light levels between the connected spaces.
