Hi,

I can not understand the skill adjustment that you do when creating the investigator..

According to what do you select the initial placements of the skill markers

You can set the skill adjusters on any space that you want. Onc eset though, you can only adjust them during the Upkeep phase (unless otehrwise instructed) and your total adjustment each upkeep is only allowed up to your focus.

So you can set each skill as you want during setup. If you want to maximize your Speed, that is ok but your sneak will be crap. A good suggestion is to keep them all in the middle during setup unless you have something specific in mind to do. Or if one skill is real low (like a 0-3 while the other is a 5-2) then you might want to keep the low one at a 2 or 3 so the opposite is a 3-2.

Then when you adjust, if your focus is only a 1 , you can only move a single marker by 1 space. If your focus is 2, then you can move 1 marker up to spaces OR two markers one space each.

Is this the question you are asking?

Yes thanks alot.

I too was thinking of putting the sliders in the middle so when using the limited focus, i will be able to adjust more easily.

Set Speed to 3-4 though for the beginning, especially on the focus 1 speed 3 investigators

Why is it so important for the begining of the game ?

It's important to set it at what you need for the turn, whether it is the first turn or the last. You know where you are starting and you have a good idea where you want to go. So you need to set your speed high enough to get there. If you are 4 spaces away from the Clue you want, or the location you want to visit, or the monster you fight, make sure you set it at 4.

The 1-focus investigators have to be careful because they can't make the adjustments as quickly as everyone else. So if you set it at 2 because your Clue you want is in the same neighborhood, but then next turn you need to get out of the neighborhood, you can only adjust by 1 and go up to 3 (which then prevents any adjustment for the other skills). If you need that 4 speed - it takes you 2 turns to get up there.

So it is importnat to just take into account what you want at the beginning and adjust accordingly.
