Seelah's Blessing Recharge (or Shuffle)


Rules Questions and Gameplay Discussion


I posted this on BGG, but no one responded and it would be best to get an official answer.

Looking at Seelah's two roles: the Crusader and Hospitaler, they share a power(the last one) that I would like some clarification on.

Either role can choose to recharge (or shuffle back into your deck) a Blessing of Lomedae when you play the card. What I find interesting, is that unlike other character's roles that allow you to recharge a particular blessing instead of discarding it when you play it, Seelah's power doesn't specify "instead of discarding," but just rather when you play the card, which is an interesting caveat. It's obviously not as useful as Kyra's similar power, but it does at least allow for slight deck manipulation.

Still, though, I wonder if that's a slight typo and it was intended for the greater purpose of: "instead of discarding"


Playing a card means using one of its powers. Every power of Blessing of Iomedae requires you to discard it. Therefore, you always end up discarding it after playing it.

Seela's power allow you to recharge the BoIomedae instead (of discarding it as a result of playing it).


I understand what you're saying, but why, then, does Kyra's power state:

"When you play Blessing of Sarenrae, you may recharge it ( or shuffle it into your deck) instead of discarding it."

...when Seelah's power states:

"When you play Blessing of Iomedae, you may recharge it ( or shuffle it into your deck) instead."

Seelah's power doesn't mention "instead of discarding it," which leads me to believe it's just a typo?

Yeah. It works both ways (you only ever discard Blessings of Iomedae normally), but it sounds like we changed the template midway through developing the role cards. Easy fix.

So if I activate Seelah's 2 powers:

"During your turn you may bury a divine card and choose a character at your location to shuffle 1d4+1 random cards from his discard pile into his deck. "
and
"When you play Blessing of Iomedae you may recharge it"

Seelah could use the Blessing of Iomedae essentially as a heal and automatically recharge it?


No, because you are burying the Blessing as a cost, your are not playing the Blessing. So, no auto-recharge.
