For example:
Valeros flips a card for a pit trap, which has a WIS or Perception to defeat. In his hand, Valeros has the ally that gives an extra 1d10 to a Perception check. Now, Valeros doesn't have Perception. Can Valeros use that ally to add that modifier to his WIS check? Or does that particular ability on that card not have any effect unless played by a character with the Perception skill?
Forgive me if this is addressed in the rules somewhere, as I don't have the game on me, having let a friend try it out for a few days.
I say no. Look in the Rules. Page 11
If your character doesn’t
have
ANY of the skills listed for a check, you can still attempt the
check (unless you’re trying to recharge a card; see Recharge on page
15), but your die is a d4. You may use a skill that isn’t listed on your
character card
ONLY if another card gives your character that skill.
Because he has WIS he must make a WIS-Check and he can not ust the Card.
But if he plays a Card that gives him the Perception SKILL than he can play the Card.
If he has non of the listet Skills, he can choose to make an untrained Perception-Check and use the Card. (1d4 + 1d10)
