Q. As hatred normally only works in the first turn of a close combat, when a player elects to martyr Flagellants in a second or subsequent round of combat, do the Flagellants still get to re-roll missed attacks?
A. Yes, as the effects are renowed at the beggining of each round of combat, which effectively counts as their first turn of combat.
Q. Is the Lore of Light spell from the War Altar's Golden Griffon cast by the Arch Lector or the Golden Griffon? If cast by the Arch would it force a previous Remains in Play prayer cast by the Arch Lector to be automatically dispelled?
A. The Empire army book states that the Lore of Light is cast by the Arch Lector, thus it would indeed force any Remains in Play prayers (which worc exactly like bound spells) cast by the Arch Lector to be dispelled. Therefore, it is best to cast the spell from the Golden Griffon prior to using the Arch Lector's prayers.
