Something is wrong, the Third Eye isn't in my hand...
Do you need to reveal ANOTHER card than the Third Eye, in which case it should say...Display. While Displayed On your Perception check, you may freely reveal A CARD to add 1d10.
?
Or can you use Third Eye power with an empty hand, in which case it should say...Display. While Displayed On your Perception check, you may add 1d10.

The only point of putting "freely reveal" on a displayed card is if a future effect prevents you from revealing cards or makes you do something else when you would reveal a card. At the moment it does seem to be redundant, however.
Page 8: If you are instructed to play, reveal, display, reload, discard, recharge,bury, banish, or otherwise manipulate a card, that card must come from your hand unless you are activating a power on a displayed card, in which case you activate it with the displayed card instead.
Yep I missed that. OK then. But the card goes back in your hand as I see it. Which may save your life if you are about to take damage.
Freely then means I can play another item on the check. But I cannot (hopefully) re-display the The Third Eye on that check... and not until I can legally re-display it. Which may force you to discard the Third Eye before you can re-display it for example.

It's this.
I remember comment from a dev or Vic that "display: ..reveal" was *supposed* to be understood to just put the displayed card back in your hand. I remember it because it made zero sense to me as: A) it's much more clear to just say draw; and B) Because "reveal" has a specific definition in the Rulebook that contradicts what is supposed to happen.
My intuitive logic for "reveal a displayed card" would indeed be to just reveal it and then return it to the displayed area.

That's just more unnecessary confusion then. So revealing a displayed card does the exact same thing as drawing a displayed card (which is the word used on many armors)?

Well, technically, these cards would still interact with any "When you reveal..." powers, but I would call the impact -let alone the *benefit*- of this questionable at best.
Exactly my point. Thx for your help guys.

I'm guessing you're thinking of something Mike or Keith said during the playtest. It made no sense to me either, which is why we ended up making displayed armors tell you to draw them. I suspect this card should have been amended to "draw" along with those and was missed; verifying.
