Rod of Lardly Meat
The Rod of Lardly Meat allows you to discard the card in order to attempt to re-roll a failed Run Away attempt.
Can you play the card directly from your hand after a failed Run Away attempt? If not, can you play the card after a failed Run Away attempt if you are merely carrying the item and not using the item? Thanks! |

Re: Rod of Lardly Meat
Well it's not a one-use item like those that can be played from your hand by the rules, so I'd imagine it needs to be in play, but not necessarily equipped. This is just a guess, though.

Re: Rod of Lardly Meat
Andrew has said that cards which may be used only once are considered "one-shot items" even if they do not say "usable once only" on them. (here)
He has furthermore said that cards that count as one-shot items can be played from the hand, even if they do not say "usable once only," here. To me, the Rod of Lardly Meat has two uses. One, permanent, use is to provide a bonus in combat. The other use is for an automatic run-away. In order to activate the second use, you must discard the card. To me, this makes the card into a one-shot item which may be played from the hand. Thus, I would say that you could not play the Rod from your hand to give a combat bonus, but you could play it from your hand to permit escape. While I think this is a valid extension of Andrew's logic, it is not an actual ruling by him, so you would need to wait on official word. AFAIK, he has not addressed the issue of cards that have two uses, one as a one-shot and another not. |

Re: Rod of Lardly Meat
I must have overlooked that. Thanks.
