Question about Rewards


Pathfinder Adventure Card Society


Greetings,

I come before you bearing a question regarding gaining Rewards in OP!

So, let's say I just started my first scenario ever in a Adventure. I've built my character from the ground up with only Cards with the "B"-Mark and Basic Traits from an appropiate Class Deck.

So, I finished my first Scenario; Succes!
The rewards (per example) are as follows: "Each player chooses weapon, armor or spell, then draws a card of that type from the box."

Right, if I'm correct, I should do these things:

- Choose either Weapon, Armor or Spell.
- Draw a random card from the chosen type from my Class Deck with the number "B" or "1".
- Display this drawn card with all the other newly acquired cards from the scenario.
- Choose one of the displayed cards to choose a card from my Class Deck to be my Deck Upgrade.
- Return all non-chosen cards to their corresponding boxes
- Gain a skill feat. (Since it's my first scenario in this tier)

Is this correct?

(Or do I get the drawn card nonetheless and then display cards for my Deck Upgrade?)

The drawn card is separate from your deck upgrade; you get both. You are not required to use the drawn card if you don't like it, but passing on it still counts as taking the reward so replaying the scenario won't give you another draw (remember also that earning the scenario reward is not optional, so you also cannot choose to not draw and then replay the scenario later to draw then).

The way you listed the order of things is correct. Sometimes the scenario reward will also say "Adventure Card Guild characters get a bonus upgrade" in which case you could get the one from your box and another one that was acquired during the scenario. Note that the random card from your class deck box CANNOT be used as an upgrade for another character in your party.


So, basically; there is a difference between "acquired cards during the scenario" and "Cards you achieve due to a reward".

So, with the above example, I'd get:
- One Deck Upgrade (reward for completing any scenario)
- Skill Feat (reward for completing first scenario in a tier)
- Random Weapon, Armor or Spell from my Class Deck (specific Scenario Reward)

Right?

@Donny: You'd also have the option instead to do two deck upgrades from acquired cards in that specific situation. You'd simply have access to the random card that you pulled from your box as one of those two upgrade options, whereas other characters would not be able to choose that one. It's kinda splitting hairs, but there's a slight difference.


So, if I get cards as a "Reward", that basically gives me second Deck Upgrade with that card if I dislike the card itself?

No.

-- You can use that exact card as an upgrade. You cannot swap it with another card of the same level.
-- AND you can use an acquired card as a normal upgrade.


Right, so the way Skizzerz first said was the right way?

Got it. Now it makes more sense!
