rule clarification for Descent base game

By RPGamer, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

Here is my questions about the rules of Descent base game:

1. Rest is allowed in town for heroes, which is stated in the most updated FAQ. But how about drinking potion? Is drinking potion allowed in town?

2. In page 17 of the rule book, there is the following words about glyph:

"A hero may only use a glyph once per turn—he may not use a glyph to go to town and then return, or vice versa."

Does it mean if a hero uses a glyph to go to town, he can't use any glyph, even it is not the same as the original one,

to return to dungeon in the same turn? Or it just means if a hero uses a glyph to go to town, he can't use the same glyph

to return to dungeon in the same turn; but he may use another glyph to return to dungeon in the same turn?

Thanks for your kindly help happy.gif

1 Yes, you may drink a potion in town.

2 No, if you go to town you have to stay there till next turn.

As far as I know, there is no restriction on drinking potions in town as long as you spend the movement point and only drink one a turn.

For the glyphs, that means that you can't go to town using a glyph and return to the dungeon using a glyph in the same turn regardless of what glyph you use. Otherwise it would be legal to start a turn in town, coming into the dungeon to attack a monster, and then use a glyph to return to town and keep yourself out of the monster's reach.

Thanks a lot for you both.

How amazing the answers come up so quickly!

Didn't they change how many potions you can drink per turn, i.e. only one potion per turn? I believe that change would also be in effect if they are in town or in the dungeon...
