I would say yes. Most of the discussion I recall related to this has been about whether you are "playing" your character card when you use a power on it. But in your case out isn't about playing a card, just whether a card is a card.

Thanks for the fast response/explanation Hawkmoon!

Tonight we came across a monster (can't remember the name) that said "cards that affect barriers affect this card." One of our group members thought that I could use Shardra's power "When you attempt a check to defeat a barrier, you may use your knowledge skill instead of the listed skill," which raised an interesting question about whether role cards count as cards or if that would strictly be using a power and not a card. I think this idea has been addressed before, but I couldn't find the thread.

Thoughts?

I don't think Pilk escapes actually. He is undefeated if there are other cards at the location, and he would only escape if he was defeated. This scenario is pretty brutal. The strategy is definitely hope for luck. We were able to win but there was a lot of luck involved in shuffling pilk down. It came down to our last turn.
