I read in the Altar of Despair manual (I think) that a replacement Leadership card was put out. What makes it different from the Leadership card in standard Descent?

I don't have AoD yet, but my understanding is that it was re-worded to accommodate the new "concentrate" half-action used for the "prolonged actions" added in that expansion. I think they also tacked on a fatigue cost for activating the skill, which would be an unrelated but probably warranted change.

Ok, so I got the Altar of Despair expansion, and the new card says you may spend 2 fatigue to get three half actions, one of which must be an order token. It then says you may place order tokens on others. Lets say you just want to place an order and one half action, would you still have to play the fatigue if you placed the order on another hero?

I believe it is 1 fatigue?

You pay the Fatigue to get the 3 half actions. You do not have to pay it to use the allow another hero to place the Order part. The first sentence covers the fatigue cost to get 3 half actions when doing a Ready. The last sentence reads "In addition you may allow another hero to place an order instead of yourself " - or something very close to that. Thus the fatigue is for the three half actions, the passing the order over is an extra bonus.

It is technically readable both ways though. Not the best 'clarification' ever written...

Leadership is one of them cards which I think is a little too good. I was actually thinking of tweaking it to be 2 fatigue cost.

Same there, we had houseruled it to 2 fatigue
