Background:
There is still potential uncertainty about the timing of the Use of Crystal of Tival and similar items.
"Discard after equipping at the start of your turn to recover 6 wounds and restore your fatigue to its maximum value."
This can be read as
a) '[discard after] [equipping at the start of your turn] to...'
b) '[discard after equipping] [at the start of your turn] to...'
Both have reasonable effects with costs of use and restrictions.
a) effectively means discard any time during your action, so long as you equipped it at the start of your turn (ie didn't find it in a chest this turn).
b) effectively means discard immediately after equipping, before declaring your action.
Both mean that the hero is effectively sacrificing an 'other' spot for his turn, barring re-equipping).
Question:
Q. Must the crystal of Tival and similar items with the wording "Discard after equipping at the start of your turn to..." be discarded *immediately* after equipping in step 2, or at any time during step 3 as along as it was equipped during step 2?
A1. Yes. These items can only be discarded for effect at the end of step 2 and before step 3 begins.
A2. No. These items may be discarded for effect at any part of the turn, after they were equipped in step 2. This means they may be discarded for effect mid way through a hero action (step 3) as long as they were already equipped in step 2.
