FAQs

(from the official FAQ or responses to the official rules question form)
  • Automatic Success/Failure & Automatic Evasion: Some card effects make an investigator automatically succeed or automatically fail a skill test. If this occurs, depending on the timing of such an effect, certain steps of the skill test may be skipped in their entirety.
    • If it is known that an investigator automatically succeeds or fails at a skill test before Step 3 (“Reveal Chaos Token”) occurs, that step is skipped, along with Step 4. No chaos token(s) are revealed from the chaos bag, and the investigator immediately moves to Step 5. All other steps of the skill test resolve as normal.
    • If a chaos token effect causes an investigator to automatically succeed or fail at a skill test, continue with Steps 3 and 4, as normal.
    • If an ability “automatically evades” 1 or more enemies, this is not the same as automatically succeeding at an evasion attempt. As per the entry on “Evade” in the Rules Reference, if an ability automatically evades 1 or more enemies, no skill test is made for the evasion attempt whatsoever. Consequentially, because no skill test is made, it is not considered a “successful” evasion. The investigator simply follows the steps for evading an enemy (exhausting it and breaking its engagement).
    • For example: Patrice uses the ability on Hope, which reads: “ If Hope is ready, exhaust or discard him: Evade. Attempt to evade with a base value of 5. (If you discarded Hope, this test is automatically successful.)” If Patrice chooses to discard Hope, the skill test automatically succeeds before chaos tokens are revealed; therefore Steps 3 and 4 of the skill test are skipped. However, the skill test still takes place. Cards may still be committed to the test, and the investigator’s total modified skill value is still determined, as it may have some bearing on other card abilities. However, if Patrice instead uses the ability on Stray Cat, which reads: “ Discard Stray Cat: Automatically evade a non-Elite enemy at your location,” no skill test is made whatsoever. - FAQ, v.1.7, March 2020

In case you missed it: this is a Steven Universe reference, as is Agenda 3a, Hospital of Horrors. Dr. Maheswaran is Connie's mother in the episode of the same title, which involves a lot of creepy flesh monsters running around a hospital.

Definitely helps out a ton with the orderlies, though a Guardian can feasibly take them early and keep them from being too obnoxious.

If I made a 2-man party that were Steven and Connie, what investigators would be the best fits for those two? — SGPrometheus · 745
Steven would probably be Carolyn: Focused on protecting people, working through problems, healing both the physical body and mind, and unusually insightful, but despite all that not totally helpless. Connie would be Joe Diamond: She is insightful, loves to plan things out, is supremely intelligent, but also is a total scrapper and goes out of her way to be someone who can defend others even though she is a seeker at heart. — dezzmont · 199
I can't agree about Carolyn; what you say is correct, but Steven is a combat powerhouse by the end of the series, and — SGPrometheus · 745
Damn enter key. I was going to say you can't get Carolyn there by the end of a campaign. She might still be the best fit though. — SGPrometheus · 745
Steven's greatest power was emotional intelligence, and getting other people to a better place, not combat power. He could certainly fight but I think literally every other major character was better at it than him until Future, and a few arcs (such as when both Steven and Amethyst bond over feeling inadequate both as individuals and as fusions compared to Garnet and Pearl) depend on this. Steven Universe Future is 100 Calvin or Mark though. One could imagine Carolyn's dynamite blast could represent the times Steven pulls something clever that allows him to punch above his weight when it happens. Alternatively Steven could be Leo Anderson to reflect the fact that Steven is very capable of rallying pretty much any person into their best selves to help out in a situation. Mitch Brown might even be Lars in that case! — dezzmont · 199
