Question on General Store and Spectre cards


Rules Questions and Gameplay Discussion


Sorry if this has been covered before.
The General Store allows you to explore again if you don't encounter certain card types. Does this apply to any number of explorations that you do in that turn.
For example, if I use my free exploration to explore, encounter a monster, defeat it, explore again as per the location card rule, and then encounter a weapon and acquire it. I then play BOTG to explore again and encounter another bane and defeat it. Could i then explore yet again for free using the location card rule?

Next question:
The Spectre monster says that is the check to defeat it does not include the magic trait then it is undefeated. Does that also apply to the wisdom check to defeat it? I don't see how to add the magic trait to a non-combat check.

Yes, in that case the Spectre is undefeated. I believe that the RPG mechanic which is being replicated is clerical turning. You scare the monster away but you did not kill it.


It would be great if you did a quick search before posting. I try to put clear titles on the threads so the answers you're looking for might already be here.

E.g. if you search for "General Store"...

the second result is titled "General Store - how many explorations?"

I don't mind answering questions, but answering the SAME question over and over again is a bit of a drain!


@1970Zombie - Thanks so much for your answer.

@h4ppy - Sorry to be so draining on you.

Basically only Kyra can do that right now. She adds a d8 and the Magic trait to all checks to defeat undead.
