Where did you get this information? I didn't see this posted anywhere by a dev. And it is not displayed in the Gallery as an unlockable treasure card. I am 99% sure that all of the cards currently displayed in the vault are obtainable. There is only one card I know of that has not been reported as unlocked, which is The Dragon Smiter (I think) If we're talking about unlocking cards by getting them in treasure chests, I've gotten a copy of this one. http://imgur.com/YXo5FGu

I would ask whether the devs confirmed that 100% of these requests came from people that purchased gold with real money. It's possible to farm the gold and buy the chests in bulk, but it takes some time and I can imagine that a lot of the requests for bulk purchases came from people that didn't spend real money on the in game currency.

Is there an official answer to this?

Is this ally missing the "animal" trait? Last I checked an ape was an animal...at least in the real world.

This has been reported already. They are working on a fix. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/88679-quest-characters-not-getting-level-rewards/

Yep, same here.

Not sure if it's related to this, but since you were talking about a Wisdom check and playing Heat Metal, I thought I'd add a reply rather than start a new thread. Seoni is beginning her turn at Mountain Peak which requires a check of Wisdom/Survival 7 and she has Heat Metal in her hand. Discarding the spell grants her 2d6 on the check. I suspect this is a bug, but perhaps the check is considered a barrier with the Lock or Trap trait?

Neither of these cards have the Arcane trait, which means Seoni's ability is not applicable.

I have found that when the non-active character plays an ally while the active character is at the Farmhouse, the played card is then buried (should this happen when the non-active character is playing it from another location?) and at the end of the scenario it is found in the deck of the then active character. As an example, Kyra is active character and Seoni (not at the same location) discards Sheriff Hemlock to add 1d6, the card is buried and appears in Kyra's deck at the end of the scenario. Is this working as intended?

It's not just spells. I've observed this same thing happening with a Dogslicer +1 and Thieves Tools.
