Calvin Wright is the centerpiece of our four-investigator crew, tackling the wilds of 1920s Mexico. OK, maybe not the CENTERPIECE. A critical component? An important cog? Perhaps important is the wrong word. Let's admit it, he's there. You can depend on him being there...until he is defeated, suffers trauma, and is gone.
There's nothing fancy about this build. I'm forgoing Peter Sylvestre, BMoC, for the moment but I'll revisit him once we get some XP. Baseball Bat is questionable. If he had better access to +1 damage weapons, I'd go there but it's really just a filler until the Fire Axe comes out. Calvin doesn't mind taking some hits since what doesn't kill him makes him stronger so you can investigate or deploy items while engaged (a few times anyway).
Madame Labranche is key as she can give you some critical card draw or let you use two resources while preserving your Dark Horse bonus.
"I'll see you in hell!" is an alternative to Overpower where the defeat effect MIGHT come into play once or twice over the course of the campaign.
Initial XP will likely go to Scrapper, Will to Survive, True Survivor, Stand Together, and Ward of Protection.

May 21, 2018How do you handle his weakness in a campaign? :D |
May 21, 2018We haven't had a chance to try it out yet: we'll start the campaign Memorial Day weekend. However, I believe that based on the current expected group (Calvin Wright, Ursula Downs, Finn Edwards, and Leo Anderson), Calvin will be an off-tank so I would preferentially go for physical trauma to start the next scenario but would almost certainly keep starting trauma fairly even between physical and mental as we go forward. It's not like the weakness defeats him or anything; it just gives him trauma to start the next scenario with. |
So after publishing it, I'm going to swap one Baseball Bat for one Peter Sylvestre. That way there's a better chance of getting an ally out early for mitigation and still have a decent chance of pulling a weapon when it's needed.
