Isabella Von Took, invincible?

[supervike]

I played as Isabella, against the Spectral Horseman, and had a stack of Investigation...

Her ability lets you pay an investigation (or lose an event or item) to prevent a wound.

How could I lose? And, I didn't but this character seemed overly strong.

Does this sound right to you?

Here's a good thread from BGG on Isabella,along with some
Fixes-even Jason Hill offeres some.

OD

PS I just started a Game playing Isabella so I'll see how it goes.

Thanks O.D!

That helps. I thought I was doing something wrong using the character, but it seems others' have this same problem.

My partner Kath played her in the basic game and she was very, very powerful.

I played her in the advanced game and had no luck rolling to pick up Investigation and kept dying as a consequence!

So personally I think she is quite well balanced in the advance game.

[supervike]

Yeah, I can see how the advanced game kind of evens her out....

Just not a good character for the basic game (which we are only played to 'get' the rules)

I'm Playing her now in an Advanced Game-so far
her "manuplication" Ability has allowed her to cancel
1 wound.

She does seem to have the worst Luck Rolling for
Inv.Tokens :P-I have her camped on an Area
with a stack of Inv.Tolkens & she keeps getting 0 or 1.
She was caught by a wolf pack by Lingering

OD

Yes no good can come from lingering OD. I agree with Zom that Isabella is pretty unstoppable in the basic game but you toss her into an advanced game (which she is intented it would seem) and her ability balances out. I know she has had a heckuva time rolling for investigation tokens as well.

I just get tired of the flipping complaining and foul crying there sometimes. Bunch of bloody nitpicking Bastards some people on "The Geek" are.

I totally OWNED the Horseman in an Advanced Game with her today...but I do concede I probably got a bit lucky with the Investigation rolls. It would have to be a repeated thing before I would call her "broken".
