So I've been playing a lot of solo OP scenarios with Olenjack lately (yes, sometimes I'm a glutton for pain). I recently got my first vile of poison with Centipede Venom. Now, with a d8 Disable: Dexterity +1, using the poison is a little risky, but in the last scenario I played I had my Masterwork Tools in my hand. 3d8+1 is pretty good odds to get a seven, although I did fail it once (of course!).
Anyway, after the scenario I had a thought and wanted to confirm, is this legal? I'm playing an item to help with a check that is triggered by an item. Does this violate the "only one card of each type per step or check" rule? Or, since this is a new check, am I okay?
To me, this is similar to doing something like playing the Aid spell to help with the recharge check of a spell you played, which I think was confirmed as okay in this thread. I just wanted to make sure that I was doing things right. Thanks!
It's legal. Each check is a separate step.
Yes you are doing it right. Your check to survive using the venom without damage is seperate check from your check to defeat the bane.
