Last night my group played WotR 5-1, Audience with the Inheritor. For weeks I gleefully awaited my group's surprise and struggles against an ambushing non-combat 70 check.

That is, until the player with Mythic Champion used one mythic charge, negating the good Lady's additional 50.

The difficulty of the check to defeat is increased by 10 times the number of characters.

Then you may expend 1 or more mythic charges. If you do, ignore effects that increase the difficulty of the check.

So now he was rolling a d20+10 by himself against a 20. With the extra d12's from Heaven the roll was trivial.

So, was this legal? If so, it's not really an edge case, as most parties with a physical attacker will have a Champion. I guess you could say we got lucky that the random character that had to fight Lady of Valor was him, but still. It made for a very meh ending to what I hoped would be an exciting start to deck 5.

Last night I had a player point out to me that the skill gem items in the S&S base set don't specify that they have to be modifying your check. "Recharge this card to roll your (whichever) die instead of the normal die on a non-combat check."

He asked me why he couldn't recharge it to, say, swap his d10 Charisma die in for a d4 Wisdom die that someone else was using for their check. Other than saying it most likely wasn't in the spirit of their design (only my assumption of course), I could not find any reasons why not in the rules or messageboards to give him. Anyone have any more solid rulings? Thanks in advance.
