First question: If the character I am using the action has an attachment card with an action in it, can I use that action, or it belongs to the card owner?

Second question: What happens when the card is destroyed? Do I still have control of the character I took or does this negates the effect thus returning the character?

Third question: Can the opponent after having the card exchanged, use its effect too?
1. You only gain control of the character. The attachment still belongs to your opponent and you cannot trigger any effects on it.

2. If Peaslee is destroyed he goes to your discard pile. The character you stole remains in your control.

3. If your opponent has Yog resources, they can use Peaslees ability.

FAQ 3.4:

Professor Nathaniel Peaslee should read “Action: During the operations phase pay X (which must include at least one Yog resource) to choose a non-Ancient One character of X skill or less. The controller of that character gains control of Professor Nathaniel Peaslee and you gain control of that character.”

FAQ 4.0:

If I trigger Professor Nathaniel Peaslee (Key and the Gate F6) to steal my opponent’s character and he already controls a Professor Nathaniel Peaslee of his own, do I get his character and keep my Professor Nathaniel Peaslee?
No. The effect that swaps control of his character and yours is a single effect. If either one of you is incapable of taking control of the other’s character, the effect fails.

FAQ 4.1

Professor Nathaniel Peaslee, Alien Intelligence (F6)
Professor Nathaniel Peaslee should read “Action: During your operations phase, pay X (which must include at least one Yog resource) to choose a non-Ancient One character of X skill or less. The controller of that character gains control of Professor Nathaniel Peaslee and you gain control of that character.”


Noticeable difference - He is now only YOUR operations phase, not THE operations phase.

No doubt a strong card, seems like it's a circumstance where the designers said "lets make Yog Sothoth stronger with a single, 1 cost character that can really mess with an opponent's board."  I don't really like it because the effect can be frustrating to play against and I sometimes feel like a jerk using it on an opponent, but I can see why it's included in almost every Yog deck.
