- A Vigormortis that was once a Scarlet Woman is not considered a new instance of the Demon.
- A Vigormortis that targets itself while there is a living, active Scarlet Woman in play first swaps characters with that player.
- A Cannibal inherits the sobriety status of any Village Idiot it consumes.
