So this appears in the 3-4A text:
"At the start of your turn, you may recharge from your hand or bury from your discard pile any number of cards that have the Divine trait, then roll 1d6. If the result is less than the total number of cards that have the Divine trait in your hand and discard pile, summon and encounter the henchman Pure Legion Enforcer."
Summoned henchman doesn't let you close. It seems to be silly.
Why would you want to do this? Even for cycling your hands it's seems weird.
Intent is that you always roll 1d6 and possibly summon.
The optional part is hiding your Divine cards from the Pure Legion first, so they don't confront your felonious lack of atheism.

I will have to check with Keith, but I believe the intent is that you roll the d6 whether or not you recharge or bury any cards.
Which is to say, at the start of your turn, if you have a bunch of Divine cards in your hand or discard pile and you don't get rid of them, you're probably going to have to fight the Enforcer.
I believe Vic has mentioned before that FAQs are often not issued for PFSACG scenarios because they can just change the text. The issue is that _we_ don't know when the text changes are mechanical even if we watched the updated date on the scenarios in our downloads folder.
Failing a check to defeat a monster deals Combat damage to you equal to how much you failed by, even if the check to defeat is not a Combat check. Similarly, failing a combat check against a barrier does not deal any combat damage to you as a result of failing the check to defeat (although the barrier may send some damage your way as part of an "if undefeated" clause).

When we update a PDF, we send an email to everyone who has access to it describing what has changed.

Huh, looks like we played that wrong all along?
We always played that failing a Combat check results in Combat damage, even if the check is not a check to defeat a monster.| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Take Damage, If Necessary. If you fail a check to defeat a monster, it deals an amount of damage to you equal to the difference between the difficulty to defeat the monster and your check result. Unless the card specifies otherwise, this damage is Combat damage.
The type of check is irrelevant, all that matters is monster or not-monster. If monster, you take damage as an intrinsic part of attempting the check should you fail. If not a monster (such as a combat check against a barrier or an ally), you do not take damage as an intrinsic part of attempting the check should you fail. This damage is combat damage unless specified otherwise (for example, Siren specifies that the damage is Mental damage that may not be reduced).
Now you know :)
We parsed it incorrectly during our play through as well, reading it as optional. I think the confusion comes from having that may right up front.
"At the start of your turn, roll 1d6. If the result is less than the total number of cards that have the Divine trait in your hand and discard pile, summon and encounter the henchman Pure Legion Enforcer. Before the roll, you may recharge from your hand or bury from your discard pile any number of cards that have the Divine trait."
or
"At the start of your turn, roll 1d6, before the roll you may recharge from your hand or bury from your discard pile any number of cards that have the Divine trait. If the result of the roll is less than the total number of cards that have the Divine trait in your hand and discard pile, summon and encounter the henchman Pure Legion Enforcer."
I know the order of things written is more clear in the original text, but I think either of those two options make it clearer that the 1d6 roll is mandatory and the recharge/bury is an optional way of helping to dodge the fight.
