Boons with Check A Then Check B


Rules Questions and Gameplay Discussion


There are three boons in S&S that have two checks separated by THEN instead of OR (Buckler Gun, Captain, and Heartbreak Hinson). Were those misprinted or do characters need to pass both checks to acquire these boons?


Oh boy! I'm going out on a limb her and saying they are intentional. And remember, someone else at your location can attempt one of the two checks.

Only the character who encounters the card may attempt the check, save for one exception: if a card requires sequential checks, the character who encountered the card must attempt at least one of the checks, but other checks may each be attempted by any one character at the same location.

In RotR that only applied to villains, but not it seems we've got it applying to boons!

Yeah, I made several mistakes because I was not ready to read the THEN. I had gotten some boons treating as an OR because I wasn't aware these existed.

Can you tell us what the checks are for these? For example, I wouldn't be terribly surprised to see the Buckler Gun having a Con THEN Dex check or something like that, to represent that it's both a shield and a ranged weapon.
