Denizen Card

There are a number of spaces on the Cataclysm board, along with the “Settlement” Terrain card, that instruct a character to draw a Denizen. When a character encounters any of these spaces, he draws one Denizen card from the top of the Denizen deck and adds it to his space. Then, he visits one Denizen on his space.

When a character visits a Denizen, he resolves the text on the card. If there is a numbered list without special instructions, he rolls one die and resolves the effect listed next to the result of his roll. If a character cannot resolve the text on the Denizen he is visiting, nothing happens, though the Denizen still counts as having been visited. For example, if a character visits the Doctor and has no lives to heal or gold to pay the Doctor, nothing happens.

After a character visits a Denizen, that Denizen is discarded unless the trait on its card matches the name of the space the character is currently on. Denizens with the “Any” trait are never discarded after being visited, and Denizens without traits are always discarded after being visited.

Denizen cards do not count as Adventure cards, and do not count towards the number of cards on a space. Denizens can only be visited if a card or board space instructs a character to do so.

If a character is instructed by a card or rule to visit a specific person at a space (for example, the Hag requires that character to visit the Village Mystic at the Village), that character can instead visit the Denizen with the same name, no matter the spacethat Denizen is on.
