Bob Jenkins has a bit more flexibility with his starting deck compared to his fellow Eote investigators, because he can easily swap in level 0 cards later with Adaptable should he want to. Not a huge deal, but maybe interesting if you want to upgrade one of your level 0cards

1 commit to effectively turn many a test into an "autofail or succeed". I really like it and with or without teck, I do reccomend it.

If youre playing solo, taking this card along with a little bit of curse teck can be clutch, a Blasphemous Covenant can juggle the curses provided through Promise of Power indefinitely, effectively turning those curses into a permament enhancement for the rest of a scenario.

Did the other reviews already tell you this thing is good? This thing is good.

This is, undisputably, the best card in Innsmouth. Yes it's "weaker" than some of the 4+ xp cards, but seriously, the safety, speed, flexibility, this card does sooooo much work that you're straight up spoilt for choice.

First off. This thing fights. characters typically rely on charges for fighting, which mean's that the wrong health total (say, a 3 health foe when you have a Shrivelling, or a 4 health foe when you have a Shrivelling) is doubly expensive to deal with. The staff helps with that. It also means you can routinely knock out a 1 health foe like Acolyte.

Second. It evades. Getting away from a Hunting Nightgaunt or similarly large monsters or unwinnable fights is key, to buy time for when you can actually beat them later. Or just to conserve other fight resources.

Third, it's responsive. The round that you play this thing you get extra power! For that one turn you can do 2 damage if you attack twice, evade 2 enemies, or get two chances to do one of those things once.

Lastly, there's combos! Dexter Drake has that innate ability to play it as a free action, effectively netting a free action attack/evade, there's also Sleight of Hand which can do the same.

All in all, this card is so good that I frankly question any deck for a 5 that doesnt include this thing.

A gun for characters that have ok and a tendency to evade. I.E, "Skids" O'Toole, Finn Edwards and plausibly Dexter Drake.

It barely require's much deliberation, especially for Finn's free roundly evades. That said, the evade requirement means that you're often stuck spending a whole additional action before you even start to do damage, which can be a big issue and it's why you need to upgrade into .25 Automatic ASAP if youre hoping to be a deadly pistolier. At least it's a saved action when you play it, and you can replace it mid-fight without slowing down.

In short, .25 Automatic gets you out of trouble, but unless you're Finn, it doesnt actually make you a fighter, it just means you dont need the fighter to come help when something spawns on top of you.

Finally, in an evade heavy team, and when there's a Trish Scarborough, you can run around and mop up the enemies that other people exhaust.

Not a good card, but it has a niche and combo potential.

It's Multi Lucky!!

Routinely generating the bless tokens you need to fuel Jacob Morrison is a bit tricky in , but with team support just the random few you're likely to encounter will make it so that you get to use Jacob Morrison 4+ times in a scenario. So, take him if you have blessed friends, maybe if you're somehow using Blessed Blade.

In solo Jacob Morrison is perfectly playable even if you use just a couple copies of Keep Faith to fuel him. Assuming that you play just the one copy of Keep Faith, that's still most likely going to be 2-3 extra uses of the Lucky! effect on top of the one he comes into play with.

I do hopefully not, need to tell you, how good a Lucky! that you get to play 4+ times, is.
