Sacred Pool and Replacing Quests
When I use the Sacred Pool ending and check the replacing quests house rule it gives me an option to draw a new quest and discard one at each turn, but should it do it? Sacred Pool text: "whenever a character starts their turn and does not have a warlock quest, They may immediatly accept one." and the character already has a quest.

I think it shouldn't do it. Right now to play optimally you have to draw a new quest every beginning of turn.. Which is cumbersome and i don't think iti s intended.

Because of this reason alone, I have to desactivate Sacred Pool even though I love this ending.

Bear in mind that if you leave the replacing quest option off and you character is the Ninja and your quest is to deliver a follower that there is no way to win the game!
Unless bloodbath is on and you kill all opponents.
Being stuck with a quest that you can't possibly forfill kills the game for you very fast and takes away a lot enjoyment!

I thought of a very roundabout way to complete the quest in that case: Transform into another character by drawing the Transformed event from the Woodland expansion.

Yes that can work, you have a small window of 3 turns then to forfil the quest! Very creative way!
But for years we didn't have Woodlands and then there was absolutely no way for the Ninja to forfill that quest. :steamsad:

Let's assume a perfect world where Replacing Quest works for everything but the Sacred Pool ending effect.

You could just land on Warlock to replace your quest.

Problem is when terraforming starts to come into play.. But it's a problem regardless of Sacred Pool ending

Right, That's what I want, to replace quests on the Warlock/Lake of Visions etc. Which is how it should be in my opinion unless I missed something in the rules
