I have a couple questions involving the use of special abilities on character cards. I can think of 2 off the top of my head:
1. Death & Hades SA: "Reduce opponent's hand to 7 cards until this character is discarded (or 9 cards if rescuer has Tables of the Law activated)."
CAN THIS ABILITY ONLY BE USED ONCE OR CAN IT BE USED EVERY TIME THE CHARACTER ENTERS BATTLE? AND ALSO, DOES THE ABILITY LAST ALL GAME?
2. Ahimaaz SA: "Holder may look at one opponent's hand or cards face down in a Site. Hero may then withdraw from battle unharmed or continue the battle. Ahimaaz cannot be captured."
IS THIS ABILITY ONLY ABLE TO BE USED ONCE OR CAN IT BE USED EVERYTIME THE HERO ATTACKS?

All characters' abilities activate each time they enter battle. In a multi-player game, you can use Death and Hades against each different opponent and reduce each of them to 7 cards. They must remain at seven cards until D&H is discarded, so after you use the ability on them the first time, it doesn't really make a difference after that.

SO CAN ENOCH BE DISCARDED IF HE IS IN A TERRITORY, OR DOES HIS SPECIAL ABILITY STILL KEEP HIM FROM BEING DISCARDED EVEN OUTSIDE OF THE BATTLE FIELD?
Enoch SA: "Enoch may be removed from the game, but is prevented from being discarded. Return Enoch to territory at end of battle."
-
Only in battle, because he does not have similar text to D&H, about the ability staying while he remains in play.

Please don't use caps lock. It is considered yelling.

Why is typing in caps is considered yelling? In the context I used caps it seems to be distinguishable that the caps are meant to differentiate the question itself from the character in question. The context of the words seems much more important than the actual appearance of the text itself.

Internet etiquette. We have bold, italics and underline, as well as the ability to change font type, size, and color if you need to emphasize a passage.
