Prelude from  The Dreamlands.
|
Flavor Text[]
You wonder what it will all come to in the end, even as you wipe the sweat from your brow, whether you will be able to rise above the challenges that lie before you. The nature of the task at hand is, after all, not one you would associate with a long life expectancy.
Purging the negative thoughts from your subconscious, you return with renewed vigor to your training. You can do it, you tell yourself, you were meant to fill this role.
You are a lighthouse in the darkness.
Prelude Conditions[]
During this game, if an Asset would be placed on a space of the reserve, the active investigator may place 1 random Talent Condition from the deck faceup on that space instead.
Talent Conditions in the reserve can be gained as part of the Acquire Assets action. Each Talent Condition in the reserve has value 1. As an additional cost to gain a Talent Condition, the investigator must spend 
1 Focus.
Notes[]
The original text of the second prelude condition was "As part of an Acquire Assets action, an Investigator may spend 1 success and 1 Focus to gain 1 Talent Condition from the reserve. There is no limit to the number of Talent Conditions an investigator can gain during an Acquire Assets Action." This has seen been errata'd to allow effects depending on Asset values in the reserve to work.
