Spellweaver exhausted in MP while only 1 card burned (possible bug?)

[Joni Poni]

Hi,
the Spellweaver seems to randomly exhaust in MP. It happened twice, the first time I thought we did not understand the rules correctly. But after yesterday, I am pretty sure this is some kind of bug.
I had 1 card left after my round, with the plan to do a quick rest at the beginning of next round. I had only 1 card burned (Fireballs). At the start of the next round, my Spellweaver just exhausted. We are still in the beginning of the game, in the cogwheel cove. There were no effects on my Spellweaver. This really ruins the experience :-(

You are misunderstanding the rules.

At the start of a turn, if there are two or more cards in hand (available to be picked), you can either Short Rest or Long Rest. If there is 1 or 0 card in hand, the character is Exhausted.

It does not matter if the cards used are Burned or Discarded.

Yeah this is wrong, sorry.

The round before two characters had 0 cards in hand at the beginning of the round and could do a short rest.

Adding to that, the rules of the board game say a character gets exhausted: "If a player cannot play two cards from his hand at the beginning of a round (because he has only one or none in his hand) and cannot rest (because he has only one card or none in his discard pile)." (translated from the german rule book).

Here is a link to the english version of the rules:

it states the same, as you can see in this screen shot:

So, you CAN start with 0 cards at the beginning of a round, as long as you can take a rest, which you can do, if you have at least two cards left on your discard pile. Which was the case in this situation and the Spellweaver still got exhausted.

[TowerWizard]

Yes, correct. Sorry. Don't know what I was thinking.

You need 2 or more cards in the discard pile to rest, not 2 or more in your hand. Don't know what went wrong then.

The only thing I can think of is that the character died because of being Wounded and having 1 HP left.

No worries :-)
I had no effects on me and plenty of hp left. I searched a bit and there was a bug report from 2019 and october 2022 where people seemed to have similar issues. I am going to report this too.
