Fair enough. I'll make sure my play group is aware.

While that makes sense from the perspective of a Pen and paper game, wherein a fighter acquires a scroll of fireball and hands it to the wizard, I didn't think pathfinder divine casters worked out of spell books. Their spells come as a gift from their deity as a result of their pious nature, so far as I am aware.

This also doesn't address the text that says she has to banish it because she doesn't have the Divine skill. In the same way that if the scenario reward were armor, she would not be able to keep that in her deck by the very nature of her character deck limitations. Cards only do what they say they do and this card says if you don't have the divine trait, it gets banished, which means (by my interpretation) that if Seoni acquires it in any way, she doesn't even get the chance to trade it. It immediately goes back in the box. I can't be presented as loot because it is gone. And it is gone because that's what the card says, regardless of what the rules say. Cards supersede the rules as presented by the manual unless an errata is published. That's on page 1 of the manual.

Understand that I don't present these arguments for the sake of argument. I specifically excluded Cure from my Seoni's deck because it was my understanding that not only can she not use it, she can never have it. Ever. Not even to trade at the end of the scenario.

I didn't think this was the case. As the card states that if you don't have the divine trait, it has to be banished. I read this from two perspectives.

2) From the perspective of what it says on the card: It clearly says that if you don't have the divine trait the card has to be banished. It shouldn't matter when you acquire it... as soon as it enters Seoni's deck it vanishes.

2) From the DM perspective: A sorceress in most fantasy settings doesn't call power from a deity or divine power and as such spells that are fueled by such energies cannot be used by that class.

My Seoni has all damaging spells, and most of her other cards focus on damage mitigation. Guard allies, amulet of life, and the like. I bring along a thieves tools for barriers. I went with + to CHA and + to her discard spell power so she can burn a bit better without a spell in my hand.

Since she has the ability to recharge any spell with the arcane trait, I have her card check on spells, with the goal to get up to 6 of them, so I will have a better chance to draw back up to her hand size in the instance that she takes a hit with no way to mitigate. My next power check will go on recharging items with the arcane trait to keep the damage mitigating items at her disposal as well.

Since you have to banish the guard when using him, my understanding is that if I am below my required ally count, I can just pick him back out at the end of the game.

The cultists would be shuffled into separate piles at the start(so a 1 player game would have no henchmen). As for overall flavor text:

What starts as another long quiet night in Sandpoint between adventures erupts into panic as a small invasion threatens the harbor. Shortly thereafter, fire and stone will rain in the city as the threat of invasion becomes more than a small force and turns into a full blown attack. What has provoked this sudden assault? Is it simply a strong offensive from the goblins? Or is there something more sinister at work? The Pathfinder Society is going to find out, one way or another.

Full disclosure. I have not tested this at all but will be play testing it tomorrow. I didn't see any guidelines in regards to not posting player modules and I figured this could be a nice way to tide us over until we get Adventure pack 2 in our hands. Let me know if you have any feedback.
