Hi! I'm new, so I hope I post this where it belongs. I have a few questions regarding skill checking and card playing...
My character, Valeros, is using his Strength skill for a combat check (d10 Melee +3). So I add that to Valeros' check.
1: If I reveal a Longsword, it tells me I can roll my Strength or Melee die + 1d8. Does this mean I can add another (d10 melee +3) and a +1d8 to my existing strength roll? This seems excessive to me and I think I'm playing this wrong.
2: Also, regarding the Longsword, the text begins, "For your combat check", does this mean I cannot use the Longsword when it is someone else's turn? Only when I encounter a monster on my turn?
Thanks to anyone who can help me! :)
1. Card states that for the combat check you roll strength melee (which is d10 +3) + 1d8, since the rules state you can only play 1 card type per check, you just get the 1d10+1d8+3 (if you don't discard it)
2. You can only use the longsword for your combat check. So any time you roll for a combat check you can use the longsword. You can't roll for other people's combat checks. But you have your power that gives them 1d4 for their combat chec,k.
If you encounter a monster on another player's turn (i.e. goblin raiders barrier) then you can use the longsword for your combat check when you are forced to encounter a goblin (in this case).

Evolusi is correct here. With a good amount of "melee" weapons, you can have the option to discard them for an additional die. So it may look something like this:
(1d10 +3 base) + (1d8 weapon reveal) + (1d8 weapon discard)
However, it's really important to note that as Valeros, he can RECHARGE his weapons instead of discarding when they are played, as stated by his power.
Valeros has a good amount of weapons in his deck, so it wouldn't hurt too much to make sure a baddie is down for the count and recharge a card (this is all depending on the situation of course) since you don't have to discard. Valeros is stronk! (in combat)
