no cost is anything that you need to do to satisfy a condition on a card. Like say discarding an attachment. You do not control the condition attachments, as they are controlled by the encounter deck, so you can not satisfy that "cost" by discarding that card, you need to choose one of your own player card attachments.
I give up.

That is not a cost, that is an effect. Discarding an attachment is what the card does. Send it to Nate if you don't believe me. The location that has as a Travel effect "The First Player must discard 2 cards from his hand at random to travel here" is an example of a cost. "Do X to do Y" is the formulation. Here, X = discard 2 cards at random, and Y = travel to this location. Traveling to the location is not the cost of the travel effect by any stretch.
Here is the rulebook's definition of "cost":
"Many cards are written in a “pay or exhaust X to do
Y” manner. When confronted with such a construct,
everything before the word “to” is considered the cost,
and everything after the word “to” is considered an
effect."
If it doesn't cost resources, and it doesn't have a "pay X to do Y" construction in its text, then it is costless. Nate will tell you the same thing.
What Radiskull said.
Also, isn't cost always optional? IOW, you may have to do X to get Y, but you also never *have* to do X.
It depends on the context. If an event said "Discard an ally you control to eat extra pie", you'd have to discard the ally if you played the event. It is optional in that you don't have to trigger it, but if you trigger it, you must pay all costs.
Another quick question re: "Caught in a Web"...
Can both of these go on the same hero? Again, it seems legal, but I just want to be certain.

Oops, just found the answer in the FAQ, p. 7.
