Rules Questions and Gameplay Discussion


A bane says, "If Undefeated, end your turn."
Can Kyra still use a character power that says, "At the end of your turn, ..."

No, as per the rulebook...

Core Rulebook, Page 6 wrote:

End Your Turn:

First, apply any effects that happen at the end of the turn. While you do this, if a power directed you to end your turn, you may not play cards and use powers. Then, if you have any cards in a recovery pile, do whatever they say to do during recovery. While you do this, you may play cards or use powers only if they affect things that happen during recovery. (It’s possible to play cards during recovery that go into the recovery pile themselves.) After you’ve dealt with them all, banish any that remain. Finally, reset your hand (see Resetting on page 14). When you’re done, the turn passes to the player on your left.

Specifically, the sentence "While you do this, if a power directed you to end your turn, you may not play cards and use powers." instructs you that you lose all chances to play any card or use any power if you've been forced to end your turn - imagine your character has been paralyzed or rendered unconscious, which is usually represented by a bane forcing you to end your turn.

AFTER end-of-turn effects (during which you would not be able to use your character power on, as discussed) there's still Recovery and Hand Reset, however. The rulebook does state that you can still play cards and use powers that affect things that happen during Recovery, so that's the only real exception to the "No you cannot use powers or cards anymore until the next turn".


So I could use the Sage to try to recover a spell? That makes sense as Kyra is still paralyzed, the sage is helping her.
Thanks.

Yes—since the Sage affects your check to recover, that satisfies the requirement to "affect things that happen during recovery."
