Unused trigger chance on card - possible relic of previous build?

    Alright, I did a quick forum search and didn't find anything, sorry if this has been brought up before.

    This may be a bug but I think it's just a... misprint, of sorts. The card Only Bones has the card text "This armor always triggers and prevents all damage from Piercing and Slashing attacks. Keep."

    When a character with this card is targeted by a Piercing or Slashing attack, the card pops up and the damage from the attack is completely negated. Which I believe is working as intended. However, in the bottom left corner of the card there is a die roll icon indicating success on a roll of 4+.

    No dice roll is ever made, however. Not graphically, not in the card log, nothing. The card just does it's thing, completely negating the affected attacks. There is no listed secondary effect or armor value for the die roll to activate (and, indeed, when targeted by attacks with other damage types this card does... nothing).

    Again, the card is probably working as intended, but that icon's presence is confusing and misleading. If it's only supposed to work on a die roll of 4 or higher, then it's a bug. Otherwise, just scrub that icon off the card art.

    As a sidenote, it leads to some really odd situations like complete negation of all damage from say an axe Chop. Which doesn't really make sense. From a thematic point of view, I'd like to see it only work on slashing attacks up to 4 damage(and then do nothing against 5+ damage attacks), or just remove the slashing portion. Piercing makes sense though.

    Typically skeletons are pretty immune to piercing, somewhat resistant to slashing, and crumble under bashing.

    Good catch. It is indeed just redundant data that I'll remove.
