Asset Back

Back of an Asset card

Assets are possessions that can be gained by investigators to aid in their mission. Assets are most commonly gained by using the Acquire Assets action on a City City space (or during a Location Encounter at Dylath-Leen). They can also be granted by encounters, Mythos cards, investigator abilities and many other effects.

Every Asset has exactly one of the following traits: Item, Trinket, Task, Service or Ally. These traits have no direct impact on gameplay, but they are often referenced by other cards or by investigator abilities. Assets may also have one or more of the additional traits: Magical, Relic, Tome, Weapon, and Teamwork.

The artwork for the back of Assets features the .38 Revolver, the Private Investigator, and the Personal Assistant.

Traits[]

Allies[]

Main article: Ally

Ally Assets represent individuals who travel with and aid the investigator. Whereas Items tend towards higher situational bonuses (such as +4 Strength during Combat Encounters), Allies tend to grant smaller bonuses that are always in effect (such as +1 Strength). They also commonly allow you to re-roll dice. For this reason, Allies are often very helpful during encounters.

Items[]

Main article: Item

Item Assets are the most numerous Assets. They represent physical goods that a character can gain such as a rifle or book. Most Tomes and Weapons are Items. Items often provide large bonuses which can only be used for specific tests, such as +4 Strength during Combat Encounters or +2 Lore when casting Spells. For this reason, many Items are very useful in those situations but less valuable during encounters.

Items may have one or more of the following traits: Magical, Tome, Relic, Weapon, and Teamwork.

Services[]

Main article: Service

Service Assets are Assets with one-time effects that activate when gained. They can provide a variety of benefits, such as restoring Health Health or granting a random Item. Services may not be kept or traded; they must be used immediately when gained.

Services may have the Teamwork trait, implying that they affect more than one investigator.

Tasks[]

Main article: Task

Tasks Assets are cheap to acquire but provide no immediate benefit. Only when a specific trigger occurs (such as Reckoning or an investigator defeating a Monster) do they provide a benefit. Unlike Task Unique Assets, the benefit on Task Assets is indicated on the front of the card; they are not flipped. All Task Assets have a cost of 1.

Trinkets[]

Main article: Trinket

Trinket Assets are similar to Items. They represent smaller physical goods such as a ring or watch. They tend to grant unusual or situational effects. They often add indirect bonuses to tests, such as allowing rerolls, thus stacking with skill bonuses granted by other Assets. For this reason, Trinkets synergize well with Items.

Trinkets may have the Magical, Relic, Tome and Weapon keywords.

List of Assets[]

This list includes all Non-Unique Assets. There are 168 Non-Unique Assets across the base game and all expansions.
