Battle Goals are cards drawn at the start of a scenario, representing targets needed to be achieved in a scenario by a character.
Rule summary
“ | At the beginning of every scenario, each character receives two battle goal cards in secret and chooses one to keep, discarding the other. If the scenario is successfully completed and the character meets the criteria of the chosen card, he or she will earn a number of check-marks as specified on the bottom of the card. [...]. If the scenario resulted in failure, the character receives nothing from his or her battle goal card, regardless of whether the goal was achieved. Players can keep track of their battle goal progress using notes if necessary. Players should keep their battle goals secret from one another until the scenario is over. | ” |
