<p>If I have the Idol in Betrayal at House on the Hill, can I use it on someone else's turn, say in a defensive roll? Or is it just for your turn? If I used it on someone else's turn can I also use it on my turn?</p>

<p>The text states:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Once per turn...</p>
</blockquote>

<p>And doesn't specify which turn. Should it say round?</p>

The text states:

And doesn't specify which turn. Should it say round?
