Question about 2-5A villain Leaura


Pathfinder Adventure Card Society


The villain for 2-5A, A Runelord's Respite, is a proxy, Leaura. Her powers read:

Before you act, succeed at a Dexterity or Acrobatics 9 check or when Leaura would be defeated, reroll the dice; Leaura is defeated or undefeated based solely on the result of the new roll.

Leaura has two checks to defeat. Technically she isn't defeated until you pass both checks (to be very technical, that's not exactly when she is defeated, either -- it's in the resolution step of the encounter).

If we fail the BYA check, do we need to reroll EACH Combat check, or only the second one (assuming we succeed on both)? If we fail the first check, do we need to reroll the second one (if we pass it), since we won't be defeating her?

Myrtle also appreciates the ask.


I would assume (I know that's a dangerous thing) that only after the 2nd roll would you reroll. This is due to the qualifier "would be defeated"
. If it said you must reroll any successful check then I would assume that you would have to reroll all successful checks.

Fully agree. Do what the card says. The villain would be defeated only when you succeed at the second check (after succeeding at the first one). So you need to reroll the second check only, and only if you succeeded at the first one.

Reroll the dice for the second check only. Will update to clarify.
