Are revealed Cylons affected by Crisis card effects, skill check penalties or forced discards?

The rulebook's revealed-Cylon section says crisis abilities and skill checks do not reach a revealed Cylon, and repliers agree.

Mostly no. A revealed Cylon is unaffected by the abilities on Crisis Cards and skill checks, so a failed check's penalties do not touch him, and he cannot be sent to the Brig or Sickbay or forced to discard Skill Cards. If an Admiral's option would send a revealed current player to Sickbay, that option does nothing.
