One thing that caught my eye is that for the season 8 card, you can now spend prestige to automatically succeed at a skill check for succeeding at a goal.
"In place of attempting a goal’s skill check, you can instead spend 1 Prestige Point to succeed through other channels (2 Prestige Points if the DC is 20 plus your character level or higher)."
I have to wonder if this applies only to Season 8, or it could be used for previous cards as well (assuming you have at least 1 check box filled on the previous card). I couldn't find anything one way or the other on this.
