Couldn't see this one in the FAQ.
Can you use an character power more then once?
Example:
Lini: You may reveal an ally with the Animal trait to add 1d4 (+1) (+2) to your check. (this would require multiple animals if possible, revealing a Crow and a Dog)
Seelah: You may discard the top card of your deck to add 1d6 (+1) to your check. If the top card was a blessing ( or spell), recharge it instead of discarding it.
If you cannot, why does the bard specify differently?
Lem: ONCE PER CHECK, you may recharge a card to add 1d4 (+1) (+2) to a check attempted by another character at your location.
Only once per check or step of an encounter.
Oh, so the Bard says once per check because he can use his ability more then once during a step then?
So like a monster that requires 2 separate combat check the Bard can do it twice but the Paladin can't?
Not quite. Each check is a separate step of the encounter (Attempt the Check and Attempt the Next check are separate steps), so anyone can repeat a power for a separate check.
My guess is the "Once per check" part on Lem might be unnecessary.

I agree with this. It's funny how extra text added for clarity can sometimes actually cause more confusion. "Well if you added that text here, why didn't you add it in this other place?"
If you could use a power as many times as you wanted per check, Seelah would play VERY differently. You would basically just use her +1d6 power an infinite amount of times every time you make a check. As soon as you have to make any check your deck would suddenly only consist of blessings and spells, since you discarded everything else, but you would get +infinityd6 to every check you make.
The logical conclusion is that you can only use a power once per check.
Thanx all, all cleared up now.
