So I have a question that could probably be solved by the deckbuilder, but cardgamesdb seems to be down at the moment: Can you include a second copy of the investigator-specific cards in your deck. For example, Roland's .38 . I include one by default and it doesn't count towards the deck size limit, but can I add a second as part of my 30 card deck? I can't seem to find anything in the rules that says I can't, and it appears to be neutral class card just like any other.

No you may not. The investigator specific cards do not count as neutral cards. You must include exactly what is listed.

To be more accurate, the investigator-specific cards are not level 0-5. They actually don't have levels.

How do you know Investigator Cards don't count as neutral? They look exactly like neutral cards. I'm just curious. I can't find anything that says neutral and investigator specific are mutually exclusive concepts.

For example, the rules under Deckbuilding in the Rules Reference states, "Investigator specific cards... that are added to a character's deck (by the instructions on the character card) don't count towards this number (deck limit)." So one copy of Roland's .38 wouldn't count towards the deck limit. But can I include one that DOES count towards that deck limit?

To be more accurate, the investigator-specific cards are not level 0-5. They actually don't have levels.

I'm looking at Knife and Roland's .38 Special. They both have the same greyed out pips in the level indicator. Why is one level 0, and the other not?

Because of a printing error where they forgot to have the signature investigator cards be non-leveled.

They have no levels. You can only include one in your deck with the appropriate investigator. The designers have already apologized for the mistake, and clarified the position. If you want to house rule it, by all means, it's your home, your rules, but for purposes of non-variant play, you can only have one of Roland's .38 Special in Roland's deck.

No need to be snotty about it. I didn't know there was a printing error. I'm not psychic, I can only go by what's on the actual physical cards that reflect light into my eyeballs.

Can someone point me to where they said it was an error, just for reference's sake?

cardgamedb has an FAQ that includes designer answers to this specific question. Unfortunately, cardgamedb is quite dead at the moment.

Thank you. I'll check it out when cardgameDB comes back. (Which, as I mentioned in the OP, was why I asked here in the first place.)

I think Gaffa was just being helpful.

Just the cards from 1 core set.

The unofficial FAQ on cardgameDB is still accessible from Google Cache:

Check question number 4.

"Helpful" would be just telling me there was a printing error, because I had no way to know that with cardgameDB being down. Snotty is telling me I can "house rule", even though I was just asking about the cards and rules as printed.

It helps to remember that not everyone spends hours a day on the exact same forums you do. Yes, it's sometimes frustrating that you have to explain things to people who don't have the same life experiences you do, but a little bit of empathy goes a long way to building a healthy gaming community.

I think you're seeing snottiness where none was necessarily intended. No one is saying you were bad for not knowing about the error or were obligated to know better, but they just wanted to get you the correct facts.

I agree, I think scopi is being touchy. Either way, the question has been answered.
