What happens when you "get" a boon at the end of a scenario?


Pathfinder Adventure Card Game General Discussion


I've been playing the introductory 2nd edition adventure with my kids, and some of the scenarios give you as a reward the opportunity to "get" a boon from the box. I haven't found anything in the rules about what "getting" entails. In particular, can you just go through the available cards and pick the one you want? Or do you have to take one at random? ("Yay, a basic mace....2")

It feels like so much more of a reward if you can pick the one you want. So I guess what I'm really asking here is, does "get" mean "receive" (a la "you take what you get and you don't get upset"_, or does "get" mean "fetch the specific thing" (a la "go get it, girl!")?


2 people marked this as a favorite.

The key word in those rewards is "new" - a "new" card always comes from the vault, and "When you draw a card from the vault, unless you are told to draw a specific card, draw a random card of the appropriate type."

So "Each character gets a new level 1 boon of any type" means "Each character chooses a type of boon, and draws a random level 1 card of that type from the vault."


Yep, this rule is easy to miss.

If it helps, other easily missed rules can be found here: Easily Missed Rules List.

Good luck!
