I am very sure that this has been covered in depth elsewhere, so I'm quite happy for someone to link to the appropriate thread.
Here's the issue.
Meliski encounters Erylium, he has no weapons or spells as the wrathful sinspawn henchman wiped out his hand with exception of the Wand of Scorching Ray. He wants to choose the Arcane 10 check to defeat her instead of the combat 14 check to improve his chances of success. Does the Wand, with the arcane trait, count towards the check?
Similarly, Zarlova encounters the Siren, it would be relatively easy for her to defeat with a simple Divine roll, but could it be potentially cake if she used Holy Light in addition, which has the Divine trait. Can she use holy light or another Divine spell.
Are these options viable, or is it simply a case of roll the Arcane die, or Divine die (and instead utilising non combat cards such as Acolyte for example).
I.E can I use traditionally combat orientated cards with a matching trait, to support the check?
Apologies if this is repetition of a previous post, but I have searched the forums for the last 30mins and can't find a definitive answer easily.
FYI We are currently playing the game as if the above were not an option, but it has provoked some considerable debate among our player team.
