Only used for one turn well now that stinks :(
thank you for the answers
one follow up on question 5
Ok so i pull a monster randomly from the box and i do not beat him. Does he get shuffled into location cards like i would if i lost a normal battle or does it just go back into the box?
There aren't many of them, and they're quite powerful.
We're presuming that you mean the likes of Strength for displayed cards (which all specfically say that they go away at the end of the turn), and not ones with the reveal keyword? One with a reveal action on them (for example most weapon's basic power), when you want to do the reveal ability, you show that you have it, it applies to your check, and then it goes badck into your hand.
When we're playing, we have our hands out in front of us, and just move revealed cards slightly forward to show that we're using them.
To your question about recharging or discarding a card to open up space in your hand:
You can discard any cards you want during the second part of the Resetting Your Hand part of your turn. Doing so does not activate their powers, it just moves them from your hand to the discard pile. Then, once you are at or below you hand size, you draw however many cards you need to be at your hand size.
There are some armors that specifically say in their powers section that when you reset your hand if you are proficient with that type of armor, you may recharge them when resetting your hand. Again, you aren't activating their powers, you are just moving them from your hand to the bottom of your deck. That is one of the big advantages of being proficient with armor, keeping it from clogging up your hand with too many to need.
Other than those things, there is no way to get a card out of your hand if you aren't in a situation to activate its power.
Noob – just played for the first time this weekend and do not know any one who plays so here are a list of question I have. I have read a lot of the forum and most of the answer are very detailed and seem to loose me. Most of my issues are just the wording on the cards. I just do not understand them yet.
1. When you display a card does that card stay in front of you until you are forced to discarded or recharged. Meaning when this card is displayed it gives you the power of the card?
2. if a card is displayed does that count toward your hand count?
3. can you discard a card or recharge it without using it. Meaning I have 5 cards in my hand but I want the next card. I have a card that has recharge in it. Can I just put it at the bottom of my deck and draw a card on my next turn.
4. when a card says “Check to Acquire” Intelligence Arcane Wisdom Divine. Do you have to have both of those skills in your skills list? Do you roll using dice from both skills to acquire?
5. Using question 4 can you have only one of the skills and roll using that skill?6. How do you “Summon and defeat a random monster”? this is on the Farmhouse location card and this is the way to “When Closing” the location. No Idea what to do
Ok I would like to address a few of these questions.
1. display means to show the card and place it back into your hand. think of it this way display a sword to show you are going to use it then it goes back into the sheath. you don't use a sword once and "throw it way" same goes for a crossbow. I am just showing my logic. I use Lini and I use a pet and that pet doesn't leave me it stays until I discard/recharge it. ***edit see #2***
2. Yes because it goes back into your hand it does count towards your hand count. **edit page 22 on Cards Don’t Have Memories section it say it just stays on the table..so you don't put it back into your hand** but I would still say yes it does count....
3. you have to use a card to recharge it. I.e. you can't use the spell Inflict if there is nothing to attack it has to be discarded and can not be recharge. you have to either do what the card says, then you can recharge it as an option or you have to discard it. but you can discard as many cards as you want to draw up to you hand. if you can hold 5 cards you can discard your whole hand to get 5 cards to draw. but that is 5 points of damage so that is not adviseable
4 / 5. it is what is highest if it says Intelligence Arcane Wisdom Divine. If I have intelligence. then I rolle that but if I have a +3 arcane I add 3 to my dice roll. what it means is Intellegence or Arcane. This is so that if you don't have arcane you have a chance to get it.
6. when you come across this. You have to go into your box and pull out a monster at random face it and defeat it and the location is closed.
I hope this helps. I am no expert and I plan on putting in my own questions but I have played the game quite a bit and I have read the rule quite a few time. This is my perception of the rules. I say this because people my disagree with what I say.
I think you might be confusing display and reveal. The terms are defined in the rulebook on page 9.
When you play a card, it will usually require you to take one of the following actions.
- Reveal: Show it from your hand then put it back in your hand.
- Display: Place it faceup in front of your character, unless stated otherwise; the card’s powers function until it’s discarded.
- Discard: Put it into your discard pile—a stack of faceup cards next to your deck.
- Recharge: Put it facedown at the bottom of your character deck.
- Bury: Put it under your character card (likely losing access to it for the rest of the scenario).
- Banish: Put it back in the box, shuffling it in with the other cards of the same type (thus losing it for good).
So a revealed card is just shown and then is back in your hand, so it does count as part of your hand when you take damage. A displayed card put faceup in front of you and then goes to your discard pile. It is not part of your hand, so it can not be used to take damage.
No you are confusing "display" with "reveal". Revealed cards do not leave your hand. Displayed cards do.Ok I would like to address a few of these questions.
1. display means to show the card and place it back into your hand. think of it this way display a sword to show you are going to use it then it goes back into the sheath. you don't use a sword once and "throw it way" same goes for a crossbow. I am just showing my logic. I use Lini and I use a pet and that pet doesn't leave me it stays until I discard/recharge it. ***edit see #2***
2. Yes because it goes back into your hand it does count towards your hand count. **edit page 22 on Cards Don’t Have Memories section it say it just stays on the table..so you don't put it back into your hand** but I would still say yes it does count...
this is what you get for doing this at work. Is display like casting inflict you display the card then you can discard or try to recharge? I am sorry I am confused :) I didn't mean to put display and reveal together. again confused the 2 :)
Most cards are just played. Only a very few are "displayed" and they will say so on the card. It's usually things that have an effect that lasts over the course of a turn vs cards that just do one thing like an attack spell.
Disregard the whole display thing. I was at work and I didn't have the cards and book with me. I am sorry about that but I think the rest of what I said was sound?
