  Encounter Suit's ability occurs after an action card is played and its Æmber bonus is resolved, at the same timing point as other effects that occur "after" an action card is played.

Commentary

FFG has acknowledged that this FAQ should be updated to read: "Encounter Suit's ability occurs after an action card is played and its bonus icons are resolved, at the same timing point as other effects that occur "after" an action card is played. However, the active player must trigger Encounter Suit's effect before triggering the "Play:" effect on that action card.
