Backpack

Used very often and always impressive. (~50% Chance to get needed card) Your total cards is 30+ some weakness

Then you draw 5 first card Remained is around 25

So searching 12 card is 50% chance to get a card that you need

(Chance increased if 2 copy added or Backpack(2) )

This+ Geared Up is insane setup in first turn! — Mirt · 1 12/12/23

@Mirt yeah that's why FFG just tabooed Geared Up - I'm ignoring that one though, Geared Up can be dangerous in certain campaigns especially true solo, so I'll take as many benefits as I can get from it — Krysmopompas · 367 12/22/23

Pay Day

Not much of a review, but I think, the art features Trish Scarborough, right after she opened the safe on Manual Dexterity. Would you agree? The length of the sleeve is not matching, but she could have rolled it up on her right arm, which she used to crack the safe, while is clearly using her left hand to grab into it.

Seems so. — MrGoldbee · 1505 7/20/21

What about the two actions you take with Eon Chart (4)? Do those count as two actions you performed, even though the ability which lets you perform them is a free action? — Runic · 1 2/7/22

I would say, yes. Everything, that is called an action, counts as an action. — Susumu · 383 2/17/22

The World • XXI

It's a... fine enough card, I guess? I suppose big hand Seekers (Harvey Walters and the like) might look to this as a good 3 XP investment, but as it stands I think Death • XIII and the flat +1 that it provides are a much more consistently good XP purchase than ZA WARUDO. That being said, with Moon Pendant allowing for tarot committing, that makes this a lot less of a bad purchase otherwise, so YMMV.

On the other hand farsight exists, and free card draw on a fairly easy condition means there’s some real potential for strength with these cards. — Difrakt · 1333 7/18/21

I mean, there's definitely easy ways to get it up and running, especially in Seeker: Farsight (like you mentioned), Dream Enhancing Serum, and investigator-specific engines like Analytical Mind - I still think that a Seeker is gonna want to spring for the flat Intellect boost 99% of the time, especially since it's the cheaper option XP-wise. — supertoasty · 40 7/19/21

5>6 is nice, 8>9 (a 5 int seeker with simple assets in play) hardly worth considering on standard, "fast draw 1 card" in big hand is going to get you more than that +1 int ever could. (I mean I despise playing big hand but spending 1xp on death for harvey is overkill) — Zerogrim · 298 7/19/21

I hate the "Tarot slot". I know, I know, "don't play Tarot if you don't like it," etc. etc. — Krysmopompas · 367 3/14/24

Last Chance

Nobody in this review section has mentioned that this card is absolutely bonkers on Patrice. Since your goal with her is to include as many cards with pips as possible and use them all on your turn, you will regularly be using this for the full 5 pips. It's especially helpful in dealing with that one guy when he shows up and can otherwise make just about any action you do an anything-but-the-auto-fail.

With her, it synergizes especially well with Cornered. You're going to refill your hand every turn anyway so discard any card you won't use this turn and add another pip to Last Chance.

Can confirm, this is great with Patrice. Works nicely with Dark Horse Patrice (or really any version using Axe or Compass). — StyxTBeuford · 13062 7/18/21

Occult Lexicon

I'm just sad that Marie can't take this and she is the only investigator right now where I would consider this right now. Three testless damage is pretty great though, many Solo/duo Seekers might like the upgrade.

Harvey loves this card with his extra draw — Krysmopompas · 367 8/30/21
