Hand of fate question

By brolim, in Arkham Horror: The Card Game

Can I use hand of fate if I have less blessed tokens than combined enemies attack and horror values?

Yes. Cancelling the attack happens whether you add tokens or not because of the "then" indicating that adding tokens only happens after you cancel the attack. You'll perform as much of the action as you can, putting however many bless tokens you have in the bag, because it's an effect of the spell and not a cost.

Hope that helps!
