A few rules questions...

[KennedyHawk]

I read in the rule book that each hero is able to use no more than one card type per check...

We ran into this last night (on our first mission).

Lini had a spell and weapon in hand that she had picked up earlier in the scenario. Is she able to roll dex + weapon die and divine + spell die by using both the weapon and spell card? Or is she only allowed to use one for the combat check?

How does revealing work. Lini again is able to reveal a animal traited card in order to add a 1d4 to any check. Can the same animal be revealed twice in a turn (say you continue exploring). Can the animal that was revealed be discarded to continue exploring if that's a card effect. We weren't sure if it was a once per turn thing. In another light if you have two animals in hand can you reveal both for a 2d4 bonus?

What happens to undefeated monsters are they shuffled back in the deck or returned to the box like boons after an unsuccessful check?

I'm sure I'll have more questions later but these were the ones we couldnt figure out last night.

You can only use one card that says "For your combat check".

Yes to everything except the last one.

You can use each card or power once per step or check. This prevents you from using that power to reveal an animal and then do it again.

Shuffled back in. This applies to Barriers as well.

Each hero is able to PLAY no more than one card of each type per check. Playing a card means using any of the text in the Powers box on that card, and is a specific term - making this distinction between PLAYING and USING will help you figure out a lot of things later.

E.g. Lini reveals an Ally card with the Animal trait to gain the 1d4. She has not PLAYED that card, because the only text on that card that was relevant was the Trait "Animal", she did not do anything written in the card's Powers box. She may then choose to play that card, or another Ally card on this same check (provided it has a Power that would affect this particular check of course).
