Hi All,

Trying out Joe Diamond for the first time and wondering the application of his special action.

• Action: Choose Ally , Service , or Weapon . Then discard 1 Asset from the reserve and replace it with 1 random Asset from the deck that has the chosen trait.

Does this mean Joe can choose whichever Ally, Service or Weapon assets from the Asset deck? And followed by discarding 1 asset from the reserve and replacing the card with a random Asset?

Is that the correct flow of play for his actions as my group think this is an overpowered ability.

Hope somebody can clear up my confusion here on Joe Diamond.

I'm not sure what you're asking about, so I'll go step by step:
1) You choose Ally , Service , or Weapon. For the purpose of this example let's choose Ally .
2) You choose 1 Asset from the reserve and discard it, leaving an empty reserve slot.
3) You search the Asset deck for a random Ally Asset. In other words: you take the Asset deck and peek at cards one by one until you find an Asset that has the Ally trait.
4) You put this Asset in the empty reserve slot.
5) You shuffle the Asset deck.
