When I have my decks set with what they should start with can I trade cards before the game even though I may end up with 6 weapons rather than 4 which was supposed to be that characters limit?
You can trade cards, but you still have to start the scenario with the right number of each kind of card for each character.
(You can give away cards during the scenario without concern to card types, though. You'll just have to reset your decks at the end of the scenario.)
You have to start the game with the correct set of cards (when the first player starts his first turn).
Each turn, the character whose turn it is can give ONE card from their hand to a LOCAL character (that adds it to his hand).
So indeed slowly and progressively during the scenario you can end up swapping several cards. But note that you must have the cards to give in your hand at the correct time so it's not like if you could search your deck to make a trade.
You can also give cards using specific powers that allow you to (e. g. using the Merchant ally).
Anyway at the end of the scenario, during the rebuild you deck phase, you neeed to get back to a correct game for your next game.
Yeah but when the card is given does the receiving character have to pitch a card to keep his deck up to it's amount(say 4 cards is your hand and I give you a card-------------do you have to discard to take the offered card?
No when you receive a card during the "give a card" step of anither character, you do not have to do anything. GOLDEN RULE: Never assume you can or have to do something if it's not written in the rules. If it's not in the rule you don't have to do and you cannot do even if you wanted to.
This said, since the last thing you did was to replenish your hand at the end of your last turn, unless you already played some cards during another character's turn since ten, you now have more card in your hand than your hand size.
By the time you get to the end of your next turn, you will have had many opportunities (before or during your next turn) to remove cards from your hand (by discarding/recharging/displaying/giving a card...
But in the evnt that you reach the end of your next turn (the reset your hand step) will still more cards in your hand than your hand size, well you will have to discard cards from your hand to get back to your regular had size (this can also be the case even if no one gave you a card, but just because you added more cards in your hand than you removed since your last turn - e. g. you acquired boons).
When you end the scenario, you usually (because you acquired some boons) have more cards of each types than you should and have to get rid of some to rebuild deck. The fact that those cards come from you acquiring them or drawing them because you were asked to or because they were given to you by another character makes no differnce. Cards have no memory.
Now of course, it can be polite to let go of the card you were given during the scenario to allow the previous owner to take it back; but by rule you do not have to.
Thanks so much. That makes a lot of sense-----it IS possible to have 8 cards in a hand meant to be 4 IF it happens during play am I right? You just need to get it all together at the end of that scenario and build your deck back to accurate according to that character!!
Possible, though unlikely - remember that you must reset your hand at the end of each of your turns, which includes discarding down to your hand size as well as drawing up. (Actually, you can discard any cards you don't want as well prior to drawing.)
But because you don't rebuild your deck until the end of the scenario, it's perfectly feasible to add five or ten cards to a fifteen-card deck - I've played characters (Cogsnap) that consistently nearly double their deck size.
(By the way, since I don't think anyone explicitly said it here, prior to rebuilding your deck you re-collect your cards by processing displayed boons and recovery, then gathering up your hand, discards, and bury pile and adding them to your deck. So everything that wasn't banished or given to another character should return to you.)
I can't find in the WRATH rule book where using blessings to add a die roll. But it's on the cards.
When blessings say "add a die", that means the same thing as "bless" in Core: add one die of the primary skill you're using.
It does not mean reroll. (Unless the particular blessing you're looking at actually says reroll, of course.)

Assemble Your Dice. The skill you’re using and the cards you played determine the number and type of dice you roll. For example, if you’re attempting a check using your Strength skill, and your Strength die is d10, you’ll roll 1d10. If another player played a blessing to add a die to your check, you would roll 2d10.

QUESTION: I bought the add-on deck for WRATH so I could play ADOWYN (who is already my favorite character) but I won't have it for a couple of days.
Why are their 110 new cards for the 4 new characters?? Are there more cards that benefit the 4 characters?
Some cards may be included specifically for the new characters. But the main reason for the character add-on decks is to increase the number of characters that can play simultaneously from four (the maximum using just the base set) to six.
(This is explained in the Wrath of the Righteous rulebook, on page 6, under the heading "Card Sets")
One more thing----If Judy is playing Enora and I am playing Valeros and I need to make a combat check but have no decent weapon card in my hand she can lend me a greatsword and I can use it and give it back?
It is very very unlikely that she can give you a weapon once you know that you have a combat check to do. First of all, if Valeros has a combat check to do, you are definitively not during the "give a card" step of Enora's turn.
Then during a check (see p. 11 of rulebook), you can only play cards that affect the check. Playing a card the Merchant Ally (to give a weapon) doesn't affect the check (the weapon would, but when you give you do not play the weapon, you play the Ally, which you cannot do because the Ally itself doesn't affect the check).In fact if at some point Valeros doesn't have a weapon and knows that he will have a combat check to do (because for example you know the next card you will encounter due to some "examination" previously done), the best way to handle it is:
- If you know that you still have a lot of weapons in Valeros' deck, skip the rest of Valeros' turn, discard a number of card at the end of Valeros' turn when resetting his hand. You have a pretty good chance he will draw a weapon for the next turn.
- If you are short on weapons in his deck or if the remaining deck is too small to afford drawing vcards (and risking death), then move to Enora's location and skip the rest of Valeros' turn. At the beginning of Enora's turn, during her give a card step, she gives one.
And if you are short on time on the hourglass and cannot afford any of these previous ideas, just fight without weapons. Losing a fight isn't that bad most of the time.

I mean if the card says "recharge to heal another character from any scourge".
There is no card that says that.
No card from Wrath of the Righteous will mention scourges, as scourges first appeared in the Mummy's Mask Adventure Path.
No card from the Core set will say that, because "Heal" is a very specific game term (explained on page 9 of the Core rulebook) that means to shuffle one or more randomly-chosen cards from your discard pile into your deck.
The card that comes closest is the Staff of Minor Healing, which says:
"Recharge to heal a local character a card".
That doesn't mention scourges at all (and specifically limits its effect to local characters).
The way to get rid of a scourge is generally called out on the scourge card itself, although there are some cards that have a power to remove a scourge.
If you skip your turn do you flip an hourglass card?
You CANNOT skip your turn, let alone skipping flipping the hourglass.
Whatever you decide no to dot, you MUST go through all mandatory steps in your turn.For example, if a power in the scenario or at the location you are at says "at the start of your turn, discard a card" or "at the end of your turn, bury your hand", you HAVE to do it. Skipping turns would be WAYYYYY too easy.
Nice try.
Altogether out of the 200 questions you asked, I guess 90% comes from the fact that you are wondering about things that aren't in the rules. If it says NOWHERE that you can do something (e. g. skipping your turn), you just cannot. You can use that answer for the vast majority of your questions starting by "can you...."
I thought if you drew a monster or villain or henchmen you had to fight(didn't realize he could skip a turn)
Sorry if I wasn't clear. If Valeros somehow already knows what is coming (e. g. someone examined - not explored - the top card of his location before) then he can decide not to explore and directly end his turn (going through all the end of turn steps) and way unitl his next turn (when he would have received the weapon to explore.
However once you encountered the card, you cannot skip it unless you use an "evade" power (which by default Valeros doesn't have).
So if Valeros do explore without a weapon or other cards having a "for your combat check" power (though guy) and encounters a monster with a combat check to defeat, he has to fight it using only his Strength or Melee skill. He will certainly use Melee. He can (as well as other characters) can still play cards to help, but other characters cannot play "for YOUR combat check powers".
Note that Enora could use a weapon to help since Valeros did not you one, but only if that weapon has a power for that. Example a Dagger has two different powers saying : "1) For your combat check, reveal to use Strength, Dexterity, Melee, Ranged, or Stealth + 1d4.
2) On a local combat check, freely recharge to add 1d4".
So Enora could had 1d4 to Valeros check using the second power (if she is on the same location) but not her own Dexterity+1d4 since the first power can only be used on HER combat checks.
Hope that helps.
