Full power text: "For your check that has or is against a card that has the Animal or Basic trait (☑ or has an adventure deck number less than the current scenario), add 1d4 (☐ 1d6) to your check."
The full text lets us see that it applies to the following situations:
- The check has the Animal trait
- The check has the Basic trait
- The check is against a card that has the Animal trait
- The check is against a card that has the Basic trait
- The check is against a card that has an adventure deck number less than the current scenario.
