Blood and Soul Pacts
Published on 15 December 2012 - 07:05:09

Based on the FAQ…

Q: When you are losing Stamina or Sanity to gain power, using the Upkeep function of a Blood or Soul pact, is it a cost or a loss?
A: It is a loss.

It appears ass though Michael McGlen and Harvey Walters would do well get a Pact as early as possible…

Luckily, though, you're not allowed to gain Power during final combat, so that Walters and McGlen can't exploit this to insta-win Yig.

Lurker is significantly more challening with the MH Reckoning cards mixed in, but I still like to make Pacts exhausted the turn you get them, so you can't immediately gain power from them.

"Ashcan" Pete will take that off your hands when you're done with it.
Charlie Kane would befriend a strangled cat if given the chance.
Finn Edwards has very deep pockets.
Hank Samson does not care that you've mastered time travel.
Lily Chen can punch a hue.
Lola Hayes is the world's best Egyptologist.
Mark Harrigan is very good at hedge mazes.
Michael McGlen has never experienced an earthquake.
Minh Thi Phan makes group hugs empowering.
Patrice Hathaway plays songs you can't get out of your head.
Tommy Muldoon is most qualified to be deputy, yet for some reason nobody want him to be.
Tony Morgan sells meat out of the back of his van.
Ursula Downs can shop at an empty store.
Wendy Adams always wins at hide and seek.
William Yorick has a Bachelor's in Cryptozoology—no wonder he can't find work.
Wilson Richards will paint over anything for a dollar.
Zoey Samaras can torch a fire vampire.

Tibs,

     I agree with you…there have been a few elegant solutions to the Pact issue so that it doesn't get easily exploited.

Cheers,

Joe/the Professor
