For your check that...[X] has an adventure deck number less than the current scenario, add 1d4 to your check

Does this power work on location cards, too? The closing check is against the location card, right?

Last night our friend couldn't make it over to play her character in our Wrath game, so we decided to play one adventure (I needed my fix) and play Arueshalae for her. No big deal, right?

Well later in the game, Arue came across an Ivory Templar (Combat 20). She has a +6 ranged bonus and a Heavy Crossbow to fight with. d8 + d10 +6 and not much help from her comrades.

Fortunately, she had Temptation of the Big Die (card in pic) available. She was pretty healthy, so I thought I'd go for it!

This was the result.

I rolled a 19 and 17 on the d20s! She ended up beating the check but had to bury 17 cards from her hand/discard/deck!

The stack of face down cards there is Arue's BURIED cards. Yeesh!

After burying those cards, she had 6(!) cards left (her hand size). She had to banish a weapon to close the location, but the location closing power gave her a corrupted blessing upon close.

Fortunately, the game was pretty close to done, so she stood pat on her next turn and ended up fine, but I ALMOST had to make a really embarrassing phone call!

I know you can use a power that lets you reveal a card, then use the ability on the card to recharge it to do something else.

However, what if both the reveal and the recharge are on the card? Like Besmara's Tricorne. Can you reveal it for 1d8 then recharge it for another 1d8?

This is my first homebrew character and I wanted to make something safe and strong, but a little bit different. I know it's a bit weird to have a Paladin with no spells or divine skill, but I thought Paladin was the closest fit thematically to character I had envisioned. Let me know what you guys think!
