Boots item typo?

By Eronenris, in The Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-earth

Boots item says

”if you would test agility or might, you may deplete this item to test might or agility instead”

it makes no no sense at all.

does anyone know what it supposed to say?

Let's say you're playing Legolas and you get the boots. You're presented with a Might test. That's your week stat, so you choose to test agility instead.

Let's say you're playing Gimli with the Mail. Your agility is 1, and you're presented with an agility test. You can choose to test might, your strong stat, instead.

The OR lets you pick.

Exactly^

When testing specifically the agility or might trait, you may deplete [ Boots] to test the opposite trait instead [agility/might]

(One is usually better than the other with most characters)

As the example above shows: Gimli is strong but slow, Legolas is fast but weaker. Boots gives them an opportunity to be more well rounded.

Ah, ok I get it. Thanks for the clarification.

Boots on Gimli has been phenomenal in our game thus far.

I also think boots on Gimli is amazing. It stinks that we also got the Dwarven Helmet and we can't/won't give to Gimli because Boots Gimli is just too good.

You need that card that allows to play extra trinkets during the scenario ;)
