Cult membership card and Curse! Dragged Off To Snarkham Asylum
I had the cult membership card and my friend played Curse! Dragged Off To Snarkham Asylum on me. I said I was not a cultist, so I couldn't lose the cult membership card (which is an item anyway), but I also said that I was a cultist, so I couldn't become one. Can I do this?

Re: Cult membership card and Curse! Dragged Off To Snarkham Asylum
Typically, all of a card's effects are atomic as the card is resolved. So I don't believe you would be able to switch your Cultist status midway through resolving the card's effects.
EDIT: I still maintain this opinion, even after read the following FAQ entry: Quote:

I thought the Cult Membership card just fools people into thinking you're a Cultist the same way Fake Beard makes monsters treat you as a Dwarf. It doesn't make you a cultist.
So if you get dragged off to the asylum, they won't try to get you to join a cult that they already think you're a part of, and you can't lose your status as a cultist if you're just pretending to be one. Maybe?

Q. I have the Cult Membership card. When am I a cult member? How often can I change it? A. You can change it at will, whenever you wish, for whatever purposes you wish (and no others). For instance, you can count as a cult member for purposes of gaining +2 bonuses in combat, while not counting as a cult member so you do not give the only other non-Cultist a level. If this is confusing, you should probably avoid reading any eldritch tomes you might encounter. I think that this points in favor of what I did, but does not answer it completely, you could still interpret it either way. |

Re: Cult membership card and Curse! Dragged Off To Snarkham Asylum
The reason I disagree is that, while you can simultaneously be a Cultist for some things and not be a Cultist for others, the Curse! card is a single thing, and you have to choose to be one or the other when resolving its effect.
Andrew, I can see that we need an official ruling on this. Would you please give us one?

Another thing. Even if you can't change your class twice in one card, what if you say that you're a cultist? You can't lose your cultist class because it's given to you through an item, so would you lose the cult membership card instead?

I don't know how to quote from other threads but:
http://forums.sjgames.com/showthread...embership+card This thread they say you can be a cultist for one thing but not another, they mention winning conditions which would imply that if you had to pick, picking a cultist would end the game (if everyone else was a cultist.)
