We got to play again over the holiday and the player who was Anne Marie posed a good question that I could neither support nor dispute from what's available in the rule books.
Anne Marie has:
Fast Learner – Once per turn you may Destroy a card from hand to acquire a Training card. Then roll the Omen Die. On the roll of skull, acquire a Dark Secret.
Her position was that she could acquire Dark Secrets without risk because she could destroy them from hand as her ability. Dark Secret says it must be the first card played from hand, but the character can seemingly use her ability prior to playing any cards.
I couldn't help but think this could not be what FFP intended, but also couldn't dispute it.
Any thoughts?
