If you are using the Dragon Tower side of the board that comes with the Dragon Expansion, do you need a Talisman to enter the Tower? The board doesn't say so, but it would seem very strange if you didn't need one.

As there is no Valley of Fire to cross then the answer would be no. Same as if you teleported straight to the Crown of Command via the Dungeon expansion.

Some people prefer to change it about a bit however and say that in such an instance you would need a Talisman to cross the Portal of Power, or that if you are teleported to the Crown of Command without a Talisman then you are dumped back to the Portal of Power or similar.

It''s still strange, because in the official dragon tower from talisman third edition, you need a talisman if you land on the entrance space.

All right, that seems strange, but thanks for the answers.

Original text

Portal of power

You must stop when you enter this space.

If you have a talisman, you are safe,

but you must discard the talisman.

If you do not have a talisman, roll a die, and lose that many lives.

The loss of these lives may not be saved by armour.
