Had a great gaming session earlier today, but the question of how this quest works came up.

The text reads:

X is the threat of the player with the highest threat.

With X being the quest points.

Does this stay static at the point the card is revealed, or constantly recalculate?

We played it as the latter and it made it quite a long and involving questing stage!

Thanks in advance!

I see it as a moving number as well. Similar to how your fellowship allies always change control with the first player. I don't see any reason why it would be a static number.

X's in the game always recalculate. X would only be constant if it said something like "When Revealed: Set X equal to the threat of the player with the highest threat" but I don't think I've ever seen wording like that.

Thanks for the replies.

We assumed this would be the case, but I wanted to check in on... Need to get some treat reduction prioritised (or play alongside a Secrecy deck!).
