    ok. i thought maybe there was a way... would've been nice for the huntress to be able to put away the bow and switch to the 2h sword at some point. The reason I asked is because the Wind Strike card has attacks for both a melee weapon and a bow

    Where does it say that? Aren't you only allowed to change equipment during the story?

    When you're setting up your character for a fight, you establish your hand of cards which would include the 7 ability cards, any injuries, and any items as long as you follow the limits described in the story book. You're correct that you are not allowed to change your gear during an encounter

    is it for balance reasons why we can't change gear during battle?

    I think the part you're getting hung up on is when does an "encounter" actually begin? In setting up the encounter phase, step 6 is building your hand and step 14 is when the battle actually starts.

    Yes. Also, in the specific case of the Huntress you'd screw yourself over by switching weapon types.

    alright ,thanks for the response

    Yeah, the Huntress’ later cards require specifically a melee or ranged weapon, so changing equipment without changing ability cards can make some cards incompatible.

    oh another question.... using the exile specifically - starting off with the 2 hatchets, if I roll a crit and use the hatchet's ability, do i have the option of just using one of the cards, or must i use both cards together? I assume just one, but I wanted to make sure. In addition, i'm pretty sure i can't use BOTH hatchets off of ONE crit roll right?

    1 hatchet per crit. You won't use both together unless you drew multiple crits and want to spend both

    For companion archetype cards, can you use both abilities once per round?

    Yes

    every one once per round, you mark it with a cube when you used it

    Are the effect tiles of the witch limited?

    Should we use proxies or can I remove an already existing fire tile?

    I somehow missed there should be a cube for each instead of one shared.

    You can take stuff out of the backpack if you are restarting a failed encounter? I thought you couldn’t since you can only do that during the story without another rule giving an exception, and setup for replaying an encounter doesn’t say you can gear swap. What am I missing?

    When you replay an encounter you use the normal encounter setup instructions. The normal instructions are that you construct your hand of cards at step 6 and then you begin the encounter at step 14.

    You missed my same question? 🤣

    I didn’t miss your question, I’m surprised by the answer.

    Reading the steps, normal encounter setup is to lay out your character following the rules on of 7 of story. Those rules have you lay out your equipped items
  • k

    Kaaihn

    11/27/2022, 8:13 PM
    So my read of step six of encounter setup for building hand is you choose your ability cards, and then add your equipped items to your hand
  • t

    Tonzin

    11/27/2022, 8:14 PM
    Right. Then continue down farther into the Encounter Setup rules

    I’m happy if there’s more flexibility than I thought and you can take a backpack action as part of encounter setup! Those setup rules really need that explicitly stated though, because the wording as is doesn’t allow for that (at least to me)

    Is step 6 not sufficient?

    Nope

    “Items they have” are the equipped items
  • k

    I say that because if you follow either rule set for setup (coming from story or not), your items each character has are already in front of them
