Do "On your check against a card..." powers apply to boons?


Rules Questions and Gameplay Discussion


Drelm has a power: On your check against a card that has the Obstacle trait, add your Divine skill." Would this apply to my check to acquire a boon that has the Obstacle trait?

I'm sure this has come up before but I couldn't find the answer searching the forums. My instinct says the power would apply, but I just wanted to make sure "against" doesn't rule out boon acquisition. Thank you.


Yup, absolutely. 'Against' isn't as aggressive as it sounds...


Recharge velocity.

Citing the Wrath rulebook because it's online (waiting for the MM one):

If a card refers to a check against another card, that refers to any check required by that card, whether it’s a check to defeat, a check to acquire, a check to recharge, or any other check.

this is what I should have done.thank you


All this is true, but, after a quick scan of the MM box, I wanted to add: I don't think there ARE boons with the Obstacle trait (at least not currently). Are you maybe thinking Object?

No, I meant Obstacle. Not sure if we've come across any either, but I have my fingers crossed!
