If I encounter the main henchman or villain and defeat it do I still shuffle him back into the locations to hide yet again?

The answer can be found in the rulebook

Does a cohort in your hand count as part of your hand size? So if you hand size is 4 and you pick up your cohort and want to keep him? Do I discard a card to let the cohort into my hand?

For characters like Enora who don't have a high strength and isn't proficient with weapons ----------can she only use her arcane skill to do a combat check or only when a card gives her a 2d4 when she discards it? Can she use arcane skills as weapons?

Just do what the cards you are playing tell you to do, and nothing else.


If Adowyn is fighting a monster and the dexterity option is on the monster's card can she roll her d12+2 and another d6 for her strength since it is an attack?


Or can she reveal a card that gives an extra die to strength(she is proficient with weapons).


What card is allowing her to add d6 for her Strength to a Dexterity check?
How does an extra die to her strength have any impact on a Dexterity check?
What does weapon proficiency have to do with any of it?

If the monster card calls for a Dexterity check, she can make a Dexterity check, using her Dexterity. That's not a combat check, its not a Strength check, and it doesn't use a weapon. It's a Dexterity check. Using her Dexterity. That is all.


I think I am just thinking too much-------making things more complicated than they are.

FOXOFTHEASTERISK-----How do you get more cards in your deck than fifteen?

When you pick up a new card you don't have to discard a card to make it up for your hand size?

You do not have to discard immediately to your hand size on obtaining a new card. You only discard or draw to your hand size at the end of your own turn.

When you gain cards and end up above your hand size, you have until the end of your own turn to use cards from your hand before you're forced to discard any. And if you recharge or reload those cards, your deck will increase above its starting number of cards.

Even if you do have to discard cards, those cards can still be added back to your deck via healing. And even if they're still in your discards at the end of the scenario, they'll be added back into your deck at that point.

I think you're right. ;)


I know villains and henchmen ------if they aren't defeated they are shuffled back in their decks but what about regular monsters-----if they aren't defeated to they get banished or get re-shuffled back into their deck from whence they came?


And I have gotten 2 answers on this-----a cohort requires you to discard at the end of your turn to keep to your hand size and then another person told me if you just display your cohort you don't have to have it in your hand at all-------and you can use it when you want to!


Also--------cohorts are support cards----instead of just rolling your strength d6 and your cohort's d8 could you add a blessing to your d6 and get another die IN ADDITION to your cohort's d8?????

You can only "display" a card if a power tells you to do that, otherwise it stays in your hand (and counts towards your hand size limit).

Henchmen and regular monsters and barriers are shuffled back in (unless something says otherwise). Villains have their own special procedure.

Both are true. A cohort will normally be added to your hand at the start of the game, and thus count against your hand size. However, if you display a card (of any type) it is removed from your hand and placed in a special display zone.

Most cards that can be displayed have powers with the text "While displayed". These powers can only be used while displayed, and powers without this text cannot be used while displayed. Read carefully. (Keep in mind that new cards have "While displayed:" at the start and this text applies to all bulleted powers.)

You can play as many cards as you want on each check, with only these restrictions:

*You may play only one card of each boon type (weapon, spell, armor, item, ally, and blessing), not counting those played "freely"
*Excepting your character card, you may only play one power from each card
*You may play each power on your character only once
So yes. You could also bless and play, for example, an ally.
(I thought you had already understood this?)


I will finish the B adventure for Wrath and then adventure #1. Eventually I will get the expansions.

But I am wondering "Is the LORD OF THE RINGS card game as hard to understand compared to Wrath)??
