Going by page 26 of the rules, "Skill Test Timing", I think you'd do 2 damage in both cases. Pay for stuff/play cards in the player windows on ST.1-ST.3 and check whether you have resources or not in ST.7 Apply skill test results.

Probably not news to anyone, but I've discovered Cheapass Ashcan Pete and is amazing. I think my only cards that cost 2+ are a couple of rugby players and Scavengers to feed Duke. I never lack card draw with Rabbit's Foot and Scavenge, so Ashcan is basically a 4 Combat, 4 Brain +1 damage character that occasionally moves for free and never has to click for money. Grab an Axe for more punch if you don't want to refresh Duke and to dump extra money in, and skill cards and Ward of Protection can deal with everything else the game can throw at him.

Orange Devil posted:What does his willpower matter for dealing with things he's pinned by (ie, enemies)? Also note Skids has worse willpower in any case. Pretty sure Lichtenstein meant Horror. 5 is too low to risk taking any Horror hits. Skids can Evade a scary enemy, Roland has to kill it before the end of the round.

Baron Fuzzlewhack posted:How do you end up playing this? I took Ashcan Pete through all but the last two Dunwich scenarios but ended up skipping Dark Horse since it didn't quite fit into my build. I usually play Pete solo and with a very cheap deck, so Dark Horse is a no brainer. I'm usually swimming in resources.

Newbie player question that I cannot answer, RAW: Daisy draws a number of cards equal to the number of Tomes on her deck at the start of the game each time she gets an Elder Sign. Yay or Nay? From the Rulebook: - A player controls the cards located in his or her out-of-play game areas (such as the hand, deck, discard pile). - Cards by default enter play under their owner’s control. Some abilities may cause cards to change control during a game - A card’s owner is the player whose deck (or game area) held the card at the start of the game. And Daisy's ability: - [Elder Sign] effect: +0. If you succeed, draw 1 card for each Tome you control. EDIT: I know the answer is "you draw a card for each Tome you have on the table", but gently caress FFG rulebooks. Fat Samurai fucked around with this message at 17:53 on Sep 7, 2017 |

The timing is pretty generous. Remember that it moves each time the plan advances, so you have 9 (6?) turns to gently caress it up or find another way to end the game. Also, it doesn't escalate well to the number of investigators, so solo is pretty hard, 2 is manageable and more is a joke.

Anyway, here are a couple of tries for a new Dunwich campaign. Mark and Daisy.Mark Harrigan posted:Total Cards: (30) Low on skills and high on health, I've found that with Sophie you can get good numbers on any given test anyway, and you need allies to soak sanity damage anyway. On that front, First Aid seems too slow to be effective. Slightly worried about cost, I may drop the guns, get more skills and mulligan hard for the Machete and Prepared for the Worst, specially after I upgrade to Brother Xavier. Not sure about Painkillers, either, is it possible to have too much health, specially paired with Daisy and Medical Texts? Daisy Walker posted:Total Cards: (30) Healer-Clue Gatherer. Daisy has way too many good cards. Possible includes are Flashlight (too much investigation?), Blinding Light (Mark should be able to punch monsters away and she has some other 'Oh, poo poo' cards) or more books or ways to get them (but I'm going to add Encyclopedias later on). I am probably being way too greedy with 2 Delve too Deep and the Unidentified solution. Any suggestions?

Thanks. My reasoning for having 4 allies with Mark is that I want to get Xavier as a way to get more sanity (3 instead of 2), shore up a weak stat and all of it cheaply XP wise, and upgraded cops are awesome. The alternative would be Elder Sign Amulets, but 3XP apiece hurt. I see your point, though. Will probably dump the cops for now. Regarding the Solution, I was aiming for 1 Freezing Variant to have another out to evade a monster (The Fight and Healing ones seem pretty pointless in this deck), but on second thought I already have some emergency cards slotted in there. I do feel that 2 Wards are enough to deal with Delve, though, monster shouldn't be an issue with Mark around. Will try and report back. After losing a bunch, probably. EDIT: Mark is going to need 4XP for the shotgun eventually, because Shotgun+Home Front is too silly and funny to pass up. He's even in the picture, damnit. Thus I rather be stingy on XP on his deck.

What do I do with a weakness card when drawn by Old Book of Lore (draw three, add one to hand, shuffle the rest into the deck). RAW, unless the card goes to the table, it seems that I should resolve the effects and then shuffle it back. Edit: Nevermind, you do not draw the cards, you "search" them.

What campaign are you going to play? As far as I remember, Carcosa has a lot of 1 clue locations, and both Drawn to The Flame and Rite of Seeking are very good at both getting 2 clues and putting you in danger, which leaves you with only your flashlight to "reliably" investigate consequence-free.

After talking a bit about playing solo, I'm trying to run Carcosa as solo flighty Wendy, and I'm slamming into the Royal Emissary and the fires and the Poltergeist and the Rotting Remains and aaaahhhh... Wendy is crazy now. How do you deal with him with a non-combat character? Just outpace the Horror race?

Xlorp posted:Abuse your character gimmick so you're cycling a nice set of low cost events and skills so you can repeatedly commit your way over the peskiest of enemies or distraction skill tests for as long as you need to max out the XP harvest. Fight or Flight makes your Horror work for you if you've got that in your cycle set. I'll give this a go, thanks. I assume you're trying to whack the Royal Emissary the turn it pops up so you can outlast the Horror while thinning your deck?

uncle blog posted:Having played a ton of this during the weekend, I'm having withdrawal symptoms until we can play again. Are there any good iOS/Mac games that scratch a similar itch? Something strategic, single-player/campaign thing. Doesn't have to be a deck builder, but cool if it is. You can play it in Tabletop Simulator and (I think) octagon. The modules don’t have the story booklets, so I wouldn’t consider it pirating.
