So just to make sure:
Alhazara encounters a barrier that is intelligence, knowledge, or constitution 11 to defeat, none of which she is particularly great at. No problem shes got her gem of charisma! She chooses to roll knowledge as she as put +2 into it. So now its a D12 +2 right? And her pal Lirianne throws in a blessing of abadar, so now its 3D12 +2 and that barrier is pretty much toast.
Did we play that right?
BONUS QUESTION.
Oloch displays cards to help with his own combat check, fails, take damage. The displayed cards dont count against damage and can be picked up at end of turn again. right?
Correct on Alahzra. It changes the die, blessings add a die, so they add that new die. And she gets to use skill feats for the skill required by the check, not of Charisma.
Oloch can't display cards for his own check. But if he has cards displayed while he takes damage, the damage can't affect them, so he can still pick them up at the end of his turn.
Thanks! And yeah our Oloch blew that one yesterday, but it wasn't a meaningful fight and he only did it once.

Curious: Same scenario as above but the blessing is one that would give two dice to charisma checks. Does she get two dice from the blessing since she is using her charisma die, or does she get one die only because it is a still technically a knowledge skill check? It seems that it should grant two dice since it essentially makes the check Knowledge = CHA+2 so the check is now charisma based.
What if the character were attempting the constitution check instead? If replacing the die changes the die only and not the type of skill, then it would remain a CON skill check, charisma blessings would give only one die and constitution based blessings would count for two dice. That seems to match the rules but does seem consistent with the above charisma/knowledge example.
What do you guys think?

Nope : it is a Knowledge check, which is still a Int+2 check for the Oracle. The fact that she can use another die due to the gem doesn't change the properties of the check (it just affect the die). So she only would get one die for that blessing. Or two if she plays a blessing giving 2 Int dice.

Yes it is.

Well just because the above charisma/knowledge example was wrong :-)
