Finn Edwards, the Bootlegger

Sample Starter Decks from Fantasy Flight Player Resources

Finn is a slippery rogue who is skilled in gathering clues and evading enemies. His high agility and his ability to take an extra evade action each turn allow him to quickly escape from any enemy that attempts to pin him down. Meanwhile, with Finn’s high intellect, you can quickly proceed through any investigation.

In addition to simply escaping danger, this deck has many other ways of turning evasion into an advantage for Finn. Use Pickpocketing to draw cards whenever you evade, Sneak Attack to dispatch exhausted enemies, and Eavesdrop to discover clues. Likewise, this deck contains several ways of taking advantage of Finn’s intellect, such as Burglary and Scavenging. If you really need to defeat an enemy, you can use Backstab or Finn's Trusty .38 to get the job done. Many of these cards have the Illicit trait, so you can use Smuggled Goods to search for them in either your deck or discard pile.

Finn’s low willpower means he is often at the mercy of the encounter deck. While enemies are not often a problem for Finn, treacheries that test his willpower will be a huge issue. This deck does not contain a lot of willpower icons, either, so most of the time you will simply have to take whatever the encounter deck dishes out. However, if you are faced with a particularly rough willpower test, don’t be afraid to use "You handle this one!" to force another investigator to take it in your stead.
