Hmm. FWIW, Moment of Hope was restricted to Heroes in the errata & 2d ed printing, whilst Smoke & Drip remain "Each explorer" (which includes both Heroes & Traitor). Penalties to trait rolls in a random room pre-Haunt don't seem terribly problematic, so I'm inclined to believe the token affects everyone once it's placed.I've always played it as the Traitor only gets to ignore cards when drawing them--if the Smoke or Drip was already present, then they would affect the Traitor as well as the Heroes.
[Obviously, a Traitor drawing any of the three could opt to ignore the card and not place the token. That would be perfectly understandable.]
