Bestow Resolve

Bestow Resolve

So now, I can commit a Vicious blow (2) to a Shrivelling (5) test ? And a Perception (2) to a Pilfer (3) test ? Excellent card to combine great capacities (to attack, investigate, ...) that normally use different skills !

I thought of that as well. Also seems quite wild in a desperate deck. Or combinded with the Heureca suite of skills. I think, this card will get played very often. — Susumu · 361

Treasure Hunter

Treasure Hunter

Thematically, I'm extremely entertained by an ally that exists solely so that your investigator, exploring a spooky arcane temple, can hiss "Asps. Very dangerous. You go first!" and give the greedy tomb raider a good shove forward.

Economically, however, I agree with the previous reviewer that it's pretty hard to imagine any deck that wouldn't benefit more from another use of XP and deck slots.

The Raven Quill

The Raven Quill

If I get Interwoven Ink on The Raven Quill, and attach The Raven Quill to Old Tome of Lore, and that Old Tome of Lore is on Abigail Foreman, can I use Old Tome of Lore myself, then use Abigail's reaction ability to use Old Tome of Lore again, and then use Interwoven Ink (reacting to the second Old Tome of Lore activation) to ready Abigail and then use's Abigail's reaction ability to react to the 2nd usage of Old Tome of Lore to use it again, in order to use Old Tome of Lore 3 times per turn for only 1 action?

@belphagor I don’t see why you could not. The rules state clearly: « Using a ability in response to a triggering condition does not prevent other abilities from being used in response to that same triggering condition. » So you can use Abigail reaction first, and then use the Raven Quill’s reaction in the same opportunity window. — Portinou · 1775
Can you attach 2 raven quill to the same tome to do this 4 times instead? — Django · 5063
Combine this with forbidden tome secrets revealed to get 4 testless clues and move each time — Django · 5063
I'm afraid the quill is unique. — olahren · 3360
I don't think that should work, because (quoting the 'Reaction'-rules): — Sers · 613
"Each [reaction] ability may be triggered only once each time the specified condition on the ability is met." — Sers · 613
So as far as I understand it, Abigail can't trigger a secod time because the triggering condition would have to be met again for that — Sers · 613
In a similar notion, could I use two old books and ready the first book with a quill, that is attached to the second book? — Pianeko · 1

Obsidian Bracelet

Obsidian Bracelet

Might work well in Leo Anderson with Lonnie Ritter. His poor agility means he’s often having to tank treachery cards,so the extra (infinite?) soak might come in handy . Yes, the hand slot might prove awkward, but bandolier or toolbelt could be handy here.

Leo usually tanks damage and/or horror with allies, that also works with his ability. Hand slots for him are heavily contested. The bracelet isn't a particularly inspiring card, it is there for Carson to not die for treacheries. — SergSel · 358

The Hungering Blade

The Hungering Blade

With "The Scarlett Keys Investigator Expansion" The Hungering Blade gets quite nice new synergy support.

Obsidian Bracelet is cost efficient soak because it can tank Bloodlust. Bloodlust is a treachery and the bracelet gives soak to treachery horror.

Great synergy exists with Hunter's Armor with the "Hexdrinker (3)" upgrade. It says "Hexdrinker. After 1 or more damage or horror is assigned to Hunter's Armor from a treachery effect, you may exhaust it to draw 1 card." This compensates for the dead draw of Bloodlust.

This might be quite effective with tanky builds for e.g. Tommy Muldoon.
