Hey, all!
I have a question about the chronicle sheet for Reign of Winter. Specifically, the Mantle of the Black Rider boon:
Mantle of the Black Rider (Assuming the Mantle): You have accepted the Mantle of the Black Rider, which grants you considerable power in your quest to find Baba Yaga so long as you continue your quest. Choose one ability score. Once per day as a swift action you may gain a +1 bonus to that ability score for 1 minute. For every additional Mantle of the Black Rider boon that you have for this character, the bonus increases by +1. You may not benefit from more than one Mantle of the Black Rider boon at a time.
It's the last sentence that confuses me, because the subsequent adventures in the AP *also* grant a Mantle of the Black Rider boon, with different effects. Each of them gets better if the character has multiple boons, but if a character can't benefit from more than one of them at a time, how does that work?
The only way that makes sense to me is to say that the character *can* have all of the Mantle boons at the same time, but can only have a single one "active" on any given turn. So, for example, the character could gain the ability score bonus from the Snows of Summer boon or the skill check boon from Mother, Maiden, Crone. Both would get the higher bonus from having the other on the character, but only one could be activated at a time.
Does that sound right?
