Hi
Hit a minor confusion in our Dragons Demand game last night and am looking for some clarity.
The Repository location when closing says
WHEN CLOSED
Recharge 1d4 boons.
My player thought that meant she would recharge 1d4 cards from her discard pile into her deck. {Positive effect}
I thought that meant she had to recharge 1d4 cards from her hand pile into her deck. {Negative effect}
I was basing that on the following from the rulebook:
Recharge: Put it facedown at the bottom of your deck
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.
Questions:
1. Is that how you would rule this?2. If not, can you let me know why?
Many thanks!
As usual cartmanbeck is right. Else it would had been :
WHEN CLOSED
Recharge 1d4 boons from your discard.
BTW recharching cards (from your hand) isn't really a negative effect... it can actually save your life.
You're correct, it DEFINITELY means they recharge 1d4 cards from their hand. No question.
This is correct.
Consequently, If they roll a 4, and only have 3 cards in hand, then they can't fulfill the closing requirement.
Not true in this case; don't forget the terms changed in the Core Set. This is the When Closed (formerly When Permanently Closed), not the To Close or To Guard (formerly When Closing).
When Closed isn't optional, so if you roll more cards than you have in your hand you recharge what you have. (The first paragraph under Counting Resources on page 14 of the Core Set Rulebook.)
BTW recharching cards (from your hand) isn't really a negative effect...
*Everything* without a "you may" is a (potentially) negative effect. Like a location that makes you "heal a card" into your perfectly manipulated and arranged deck.

Taratata, you should play goblin characters like us.
People relying on powers that you "may" use are just cowards!We eat them.
Powers that forces you to run into danger are what makes you really heroic.
That and eating slugs really fast.
We just burn the parts of the cards where we see the word "may". That and some other portions of the cards too because we can't really read (nah, it's because we love burning cards).
And then it's way more fun.
And if it's a fun effect it just can't be a negative one.
Good goblin thinking.
And on top of that we love shuffling all cards around in the room.
It looks like snowing.
What's the point of a perfectly manipulated and arranged deck if you can't shuffle it all around?
And burn it a little too.
Thanks guys!
Much appreciate the speedy response
