I'm going to break this down as I understand it and hopefully someone can point out what I'm missing before I run this adventure an hour and a half from now.

1. When you fail a check to acquire a boon by less than 5, display it next to the scenario, <snip>

2. Before closing a location, you may examine its location deck and set aside any number of boons. On closing, shuffle those boons back into the location deck.

3. If the villain is defeated and the number of boons next to the scenario is less than twice the number of characters then treat all locations as open.

So in order to place a boon next to the scenario card we have to fail the check by no more than 5? (ie. need a 10, get a 5-9, less than 5 and sadface)

We have to do that twice per character, which means once at every location and then a some number of additional times?

I've never tried to fail a check like this but it strikes me as a really narrow range. There are boons it's impossible to fail at acquiring for most of our characters, and a lot of the ones that are possible to fail are going to require giving additional D4's or D6's to make it more likely to get in the correct range, but will run the risk of succeeding or failing by too much anyway.

Has anyone had issues with this, or am I worrying overmuch preemptively because this mechanic is so counter-intuitive?

Shardra Visionary takes "[x] When you attempt a check to defeat a barrier you may use your knowledge skill instead of the listed skill".

Shardra succeeds at the check.

Does this count as succeeding at a knowledge check for the purposes of "When you succeed at a knowledge check..."?

I think this might fall under a similar rule to the "If I'm making a Perception check, and my Perception is based on my Wisdom, do cards that help Wisdom checks help my Perception?" FAQ ruling, but it's slightly different so confirmation of how it works would be helpful

So... I run a PFACG OP on Thursday evenings and we're currently completely caught up, any chance we're getting the next scenario today?
