In the section "Draw starting hands" on p. 7 it says:

"...If you didn't draw at least 1 card of that type, discard that hand and draw again, repeating as needed until you hand contains at least 1 card of the specified type.
If you discard so many cards that you can't draw up to your full hand size, draw all of the remaining cards, then shuffle your discard pile into your deck, draw the rest of your hand, and shuffle any discarded cards back into your character deck."

Lets say I draw my first two hands without a weapon as Valeros.

I read the above rules this way:
I should start the scenario with 10 cards in my discard and none in my deck (nowhere does it tell me to shuffle the discard back into the deck. Only if I use MORE cards than my current decksize).
This is not the intension right????
For new players this is a serious error!

We just begun the Rise of the Runelords campaign and uses the Pathfinder Legends audio http://www.bigfinish.com/ranges/v/pathfinder (which by the way is awesome!!) instead of reading from the cards.

I will update this list when we get futher in the path.
It's awesome with the audio, especially if you play with Harsk, Valeros, Merisiel and Ezren.

The rules p.11 clearly states:
"Attempting a check requires severel steps which are explained below."
The order of the steps are:
1) Determine Which Die you're using
2) Determine the Difficulty
3) Play Cards That Affect the Check
4) Use Characters' Powers
5) Assemple Your Dice
6) Make The Roll
7) Take Damage, If Necessary
8) Resolve the Encounter

On page 10 it clearly says that:
"If a card in your hand does not specify when it can be played, you can generally play it at any time, with the exception that during each step of attempting a check, you may only perform specific actions, so your ability to play cards may be limited."

During step 4,5 and 6 playing cards are NOT part of the actions allowed. Therefore as I read the rules you must play cards during step 3 BEFORE using powers! Is this correct???????

If it is correct then Lini would not be allowed to discard an ally for it's power and reveal it to gain 1d4 during the same check as she would be forced to use the card BEFORE her power.
