Boomer's Once Per Game

By Shosuro Adorai, in Battlestar Galactica

"Before resolving a skill check on a Crisis Card, choose the result (Pass or Fail), instead of resolving it normally.

So is the ability used after cards are added, but before they are revealed (and counted)?

Can it be used after cards are revealed?

Must it be used before cards (including the Destiny deck) are added?

I was under the impression it was #1, but others in gaming group would prefer #3 so here I am posting.

Thanks!

Page 16 of the manual lists the six steps involved in resolving skills checks. Boomer's power is to choose the result before resolving. So that is before playing the cards. We play by #3.

I believe this (and a few other issues) were addressed by Corey (aka YouBestFriend) but haven't yet made it into a FAQ. Yes, you would use her ability before any cards are added to the check.
