Card Restrictions, Types and Abilities
Normally, a warrior can only use one card of any given type, and several traits are restricted to 'one in play' as well. Several cards allow players to subvert these restrictions:
You may use another {card type or trait}
•If the phrase specifies a card type (Weapon, Inspiration, Armor or Special), you may use a second card of the specified type, but still must adhere to the limited traits rules.
•Each use of 'another' means 'one besides this one', so multiple cards with these phrases do not allow the use of three or more such cards. Similarly, the combination of 'You may use another Inspiration' and another card that says 'You may use up to two Inspirations' (Such as Seti I) does not allow the use of a total of three Inspirations.
