which traits get a spell recharge?

[Tistkle]

Hello all!
We are playing MM set. Channa Ti is in our party and we got some questions about her first power: <<You may discard a card to add 1d8 to your check that invokes the Acid or Cold (☐ or Electricity or Poison) trait>>
So, AFAIK, I would say a recharge spell check will neep all the traits from its card, so, if the spell Channa Ti is recharging would have i.e. acid trait, she could discard a card to use that power.

But,when I read rules about adding traits to a check, RAW, Channa Ti is not using a card to determine skill, nor other cards, so, a recharge check would add only Intelligence and Divine traits only.

So, can Channa Ti use this power to improve her recharge check, provided the card she is recgarging got a triggerable trait?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi, Tistkle!

I'll quote a sidebar from page 9 of the Core Set Rulebook.

Core Set Rulebook wrote:

A check invokes a trait if it has or is against a card that has that trait. A card invokes a trait if it has that trait. A bane also invokes a trait if it deals only damage of the type that matches that trait.

To be clear what against means . . .

Core Set Rulebook wrote:

If a card refers to a check against another card, that refers to any check required by that card, whether it’s a check to defeat, a check to acquire, a check to recharge, or any other check.

So, any check required by a card, including recovery checks, invoke the traits of the card in question. You're good! She can use her power to improve her recharge check!

The section you found talks about traits being added to a check, but the check starts with the traits invoked. Those pesky sidebars! Gotta watch out for them!

You're most welcome!

Thanks a lot Whipstitch, I realized I missed something, but couldn't find it. Sorry about that!

Thank you very much again!
