Hiya!

I have a question regarding the "Influence" ability of the Rylan Olliven lieutenant/agent. The wording reads:

Choose 1 figure adjacent to Rylan Olliven. That figure immediately performs one action of the controlling player's choice. Limit once per round.

No, rylan gives an action to a figure, and the controlers figure then choose what to do.

For exemple, if Rylan gives an action to a hero, that hero may do the action he chooses

if Rylan gives an action to a monster, this monster may do the action he wants (an attack, a sweep, whatever the overlord chooses)

Why wording like this ? Simple. Because in some quests in Nerekhall, Rylan is under the control of the heroes

Right, but it still can't be used to grant a monster an extra attack unlike Frenzy can it?

As I said, yes, you can.

You can have extra action, or do another sweep with giants, or any action possible in fact

Here's the reasoning: The rule you're thinking of where Monsters can only attack once is limited to "once during its activation" (See p. 11 of the core rulebook). Since this attack is happening on a different activation (Rylan's), it is no longer limited by this restriction.

If Rylan allows another monster to attack then does he forfeit his combat for that turn ?

I am thinking not, but i am interested in hearing what you guys think.

The reason why i think he is not because its not Rylan himself is not using a combat action.

No, he doesn't. Influence is really a cool skill, and a good agent. A good point since most of them are not powerfull enough to rely on

Using influence uses an action but does not replace his attack. He can attack and use influence in the same turn.

It's an old thread I know, but I have another question about Rylan and his ability.

It's quite ofthen that Rylan acts on the side of the heroes. How does influence work with Rest action?

Would it actually restore stamina to that hero at the end of Rylan's turn?

as rules are written, It would be at the end of the that hero activation. And since it activates outside of his turn, just after that action is finished

I am of the opinion the hero still would not recover fatigue until the end of his next turn.

I was thinking of the same idea, but when I not so sure if Rylan will give only an action outside of the figure's turn of if this action gives some sort of turn of activation.

Since It will not trigger again poison for example, I would say at the end of the hero's turn too, but I'm fully sure.
