Mythic Hierophant Path - Two questions


Rules Questions and Gameplay Discussion


I've just played my first game with a Mythic Path. Since I'm playing a solo Harsk, I was tempted by the 1 card "cure" ability of the Hierophant. But after one game, I think I misread/misplayed that Hierophant Path...

Mythic Hierophant wrote:
Add your number of mythic charges to your Wisdom or Chrisma check. Then you may expend 1 or more charges. If you do, when you assemble your dice, for each charge expended, replace 1 of your highest non-d20 dice with a d20, and after the check, a character at your location may shuffle 1 card from her discard pile into her deck.

At first, I tought that Mythic Paths allowed you some bonuses to certain skill checks (Wisdom and Charisma in the case of Hierophant) based on your number of charges and that - as a separate thing - you could spend a charge to replace a die with a d20 on whatever check you had to do... Re-reading the card, I feel like the word "Then" implies that the power to replace a die with a d20 only applies when you are doing a type of check mentionned on your Mythic Path card. For instance, if you have the Mythic Hierophant, you could only have a d20 on a Wisdom or Charisma check and not on a Dexterity Ranged Combat check. In the same way, you would only get the "1 card cure benefit" after a Wisdom or Charisma check. Am I right? If so, I will most definitely change my Mythic Path choice (even though rules say I can't, I will ;) Otherwise, Harsk will have a hard time to make good use of his Mythic commitement)

Second question for the Hierophant Path: when it says "a character at your location may shuffle 1 card from her discard pile into her deck" is it a random card from the discard pile (as the usual cure abilities do) or does the character gets to choose which card he gets to shuffle into his deck?

On the first question: You're correct, you can only use the powers you listed on Wisdom or Charisma-based checks.

On the second question: If it doesn't say "random" then you get to choose.

As quoted in another thread somewhere... Mike will never know... :)
