Cards in combat

[Dr.Jay]

For any given encounter, I know you can only use one card of a type. So for most weapons, if used, that is the only weapon you can use.

However, can you use offensive spells and weapons together? So, if using Ezren for example, can I use a long spear (Str + 1d8) AND lightning touch (1d12 +2 + 2d4) on a single roll? They are different type cards even though they both apply to a combat check.

Thanks!

Found the answer!

You're not going to be able to use those two card together because they refer to different types of combat checks.

More importantly, weapons and "offensive spells"—which is to say, spells with the Attack trait—both affect the skill you're using for a Combat check. So this is the rule you're looking for:

Some cards may allow you to replace the required skill for a check with a different one; you may play only 1 card or use only 1 power that changes the skill you are going to use.
