The cards in The Dunwich Legacy investigator expansion can be identified by the expansion icon before each card's collector number.
Additional Rules and Clarifications
Exile
Some player cards must be exiled when they are used. When a card is exiled, it is removed from the game and returned to the collection. During campaign play, a card that has been exiled must be purchased again with experience points (between scenarios) before an investigator can re-include it in their deck.
If exiling one or more cards would reduce an investigator's deck below their deck size, when purchasing cards between scenarios, they must purchase cards so that a legal deck size is maintained. When purchasing cards in this manner, they may purchase level 0 cards for 0 experience cost until a legal deck size is reached.
Researched
Researched is a keyword ability that appears on some higher-level cards (most prominently on Seeker cards).
To be included in an investigator's deck, a card with the Researched keyword must first be "identified" or "translated" by performing a task on the lower-level version of that card and recording the result in your Campaign Log.
- An investigator can only include a researched card in their deck by upgrading it from its lower-level version.
- An investigator can only include a researched card in their deck if, in their Campaign Log, they have recorded the completion of the task described in the lower-level version of that card.
- After an investigator has completed this task and recorded it in the Campaign Log, any investigator in that campaign may upgrade the relevant card following the normal rules for upgrading player cards.
For example: Strange Solution (Restorative Concoction) has the "Researched" keyword. Therefore, an investigator cannot purchase Strange Solution (Restorative Concoction) directly. They must instead upgrade it from Strange Solution (Unidentified), and they can only do so if they have "identified the solution."
Strange Solution (Unidentified), Asset, Item. Science. "Test (4). If you succeed, discard Strange Solution and draw 2 cards. Record in your Campaign Log that 'you have identified the solution.'"
Strange Solution (Restorative Concoction), Asset, Item. Science. Researched. Uses (4 supplies). "Spend 1 supply: Heal 2 damage from an investigator at your location."
