What's the timing on Fire Axe? If I initiate a combat with 1 resource, spend it to increase Fire Axe's attack, then win the combat, do I do 1 damage or 2? Likewise, if I initiate a combat with 1 resource, then play Lucky! to turn it into a success, do I do 1 damage or 2?

Jonas Albrecht posted:Yes to both is how we've been playing it. The card checks for Resources during the damage step. Is there a ruling that says this is the case? My first instinct was to say that you are correct, but it makes more sense to my cardgaming instincts that the effect is checked upon initiating the action, not after success has been achieved.

I've had trouble working out how damage assignment works despite reading and re-reading the rules, can the thread chime in? If I have an ally who has 1 Health and 1 Sanity, and I take a hit of 1 damage and 1 horror, can I assign both of those to the ally or only one before the ally is defeated?

Quick rules question: I am attempting to pass a check of difficulty 2, with a skill of 2. I draw a -3 token; the final result can't go to -1 so it ends up at 0. Can I play Lucky! to boost the result from 0 to 2, or does it actually count as a result of 1 if I was to play it?

Zerf posted:It would count as 2 - 3 + 2 = 1 (vs 2, i.e. a fail). Compare with Look What I Found, which works after a failed test. Ah, I confused those two cards in my head - so Look What I Found would work in the situation I described above.

Today I realised that you can use Forbidden Knowledge in combination with Fire Axe to get multiple attacks with +1 damage without having to risk un-boosted attacks. Throw it on Agnes and you even get to ping for 1 extra damage as you do it.

Wow, almost all of these cards are amazing. Is there an actual release date for Miskatonic Museum yet?

If I was to investigate then play Double or Nothing and Deduction in the same skill check, do the effects of Deduction apply twice or only once?

Baron Fuzzlewhack posted:Played Carnevale of Horrors for the first time last night, two-fisted with Zoey and Rex, and it's quickly become my favorite scenario so far. It's really intense and exceptionally thematic. Looking forward to trying it again and not getting pummelled into the ground! It seemed to me to be incredibly combat-driven, with so many enemies that kept cropping up, and racing ahead of them didn't exactly help. We lost after rescuing everyone and spawning Cnidathqua, because we just couldn't deal at all with the Baleful Reveler chasing us down. It didn't help that the docks were one step counterclockwise from the Basilica, the furthest possible distance away. Good scenario though and I really enjoyed the unique ideas they threw in.

Plavski posted:I got my Rougarou, Carnevale and Museum packs in the mail today. Looking forward to getting my rear end kicked just like everyone else this weekend. Kinda sucks that by the spoilers we've got of later Dunwich cards, they'll be really heavily XP focused so won't be viable for standalone side-scenarios. I guess this means our cardpool for them will more or less plateau until the next big box. Personally, I like that there are strong upgrade options for long-running campaigns, as it gives the decks a good sense of progression. Plus, you can just include higher XP cards; it's just that each 10 XP spent requires you to include an extra basic weakness (which is probably a better rate than what you'd get in a campaign anyway) I think there's also a strong possibility that with enough cards in the mix, fan scenarios can be created. Did this ever happen with LotR?

ALLAN LASSUS posted:So, Where Doom Awaits came out this week and finally reveals the secrets of Strange Solution. I have been playing a Daisy Walker deck and each release has me feeling more and more underpowered relative to the other classes, at least where combat is concerned and once stuff like Mind over Matter is spent. I am glad there is an appropriately Seeker-ish answer to this. Seems really versatile, if a little expensive/risky to get in the deck.

dishwasherlove posted:My friend is a massive fan of this game so I grabbed him some stuff for his upcoming birthday and I want to print a custom investigator for him as well. I haven't played the game and need a bit of direction, can anyone come up with some decent traits and abilities for a veterinarian? Seeker class. Stats: 3 Willpower, 4 intellect, 2 Combat, 3 Agility Deck construction: Seeker and Neutral cards, up to 5 cards from other classes. Can always include Creature cards in deck creation and level ups (right now this only includes Guard Dog and Stray Cat but may be more later). Ability: Creature cards do not take up an ally slot. If engaged with a Creature card with only 1 health remaining, may spend 1 resource as a free action to discard that card (again: only Swarm of Rats and Whippoorwill in base/Dunwich right now). Elder Sign ability: Search the deck or discard pile for a Creature card and put it in your hand.

I forgot about the other stats! Health: 6, Sanity: 8 When you discard a Creature card by placing damage or horror on it (note: this includes enemies), take 1 direct horror. Unique weakness: Rabies. Revelation: Put this card into play in your threat area with 3 damage tokens on it. It cannot leave play while it has 1 or more token on it. At the end of the Player Phase, for each damage token on this card, place 1 damage on a creature you control. Action: Spend 1 resource to remove a damage token from this card. Then, if it has no damage tokens on it, discard it. Unique card: Man(/woman)'s Best Friend (Cost: 3) Free Action: Exhaust a Creature card you control to add 1 to the current skill check. bobvonunheil fucked around with this message at 02:39 on Jun 18, 2017 |

dishwasherlove posted:That is above and beyond. Between to two scenario packs, playmat and this I'll be in the good books (It's his 30th so worth going the extra distance). I'll report back. One side note is that to actually create this deck (and have the character be worthwhile) you will need two copies of the base game or proxy up a few cards - specifically, Old Book of Lore, Dr Milan Christopher, Guard Dog, Stray Cat, Mind Over Matter, Deduction and probably some of Guts and Unexpected Courage.

2 new Seeker cards revealed, an ally who allows you to redraw an encounter card by dropping a clue (seems like a waste of the Ally slot, except that he costs 1 and has 2 health, 2 sanity), and a 5-XP-cost card that can reveal 1 clue from all locations in play. Huh.

Radish posted:Can anyone give some feedback on this Zoey deck? My wife and I are playing a Dunwich game with Daisy/Zoey! Your deck is very similar to ours but we left Shortcut in Daisy's deck so we could make room for Rite of Seeking to help Zoey hoover up the low-Shroud locations as she has such a good base willpower.

Question about "Undimensioned and Unseen": The ability on the Brood of Yog Sothoth says that it "cannot be damaged or attacked except using the ability on Esoteric Formula". Can you use Esoteric Formula, then use other things like Vicious Blow or Zoey's Elder Sign ability to increase the damage? We played it that you could (as the damage was being done through Esoteric Formula) but a stricter reading implies that you probably shouldn't

Prairie Bus posted:Sounds like they’re fixing the Essex Express scenario. The replacement for Ancient Evils looks cool - it’s still worse than the average card, but it’s not straight backbreaking. Would it be gamebreaking to just straight up houserule this as a replacement for all Ancient Evils includes? Ancient Evils is murderous, especially in four player games.
