Some questions…
Published on 22 September 2012 - 15:12:57

Hey all, I have played this game a few times though, and have a couple of questions. Sorry if they're answered in the rulebook, and I've overlooked them, but any help would be great :)

1) With Darrell's (the reporter's) ability, can you only increase your investigation roll once per adventure, or every time you look to complete a task in an adventure? I.e. If I take Darrell into an adventure with 2 investigation, 3 investigation, and 6 investigation, can I only increase it on one of these, or on all three? I'm guessing it's the first, as otherwise it's a little too nice for these sorts of games :P

2) If I fail to get the right result on an adventure with a terror effect, but have a clue available to me, can I use the clue before the terror effect takes place in order to avoid it?

Thanks.

#1: His card reads "once per roll", so going to a 2 Inv + 3 Inv + 6 Inv Adventure (three different tasks), you can use his ability on each of those. Darrell's ability is one of the weakest in the game though.

#2: Yes. You can also use Harvey or Michael's ability to turn the Terror into another result.

A dirty mind is its own reward.
