Help with House rules

By Einlanzer80, in Arkham Horror

Mythos Cup & Game Modes
Standard Mode: With 4-5 players , add one blank to the mythos cup. With 6-7 players , add two
Expert Mode : As standard, but replace one blank token with one doom token
Nightmare Mode : As expert, but replace another blank token with a monster token


General Gameplay:
Two Remnants allow you to reroll a single die during a test
Focus allows you to reroll a single die during a test, as normal
Clues allow you to add a number of dice equal to your Observation to any test.

In Outbreak scenarios, when an outbreak occurs, also spawn one monster.
In Terror scenarios, you remove two doom from the neighborhood, placing one on the scenario sheet and discarding the other (instead of all doom from one space)


New/Modified Actions:
Gather Resources: Gain $1, then test Influence. On success, gain an additional $1
Recuperate: Regain 1 Stamina or 1 Sanity . Then, you may test Strength to regain 1 Health or Will to regain 1 Sanity .
Resolve: test Will to repeat your first action instead of taking a different one. If you fail, you lose your second action.


Shop (experimental): Depending on your location, you may purchase one item from the display if an item of the named type is available in the display (you may not draw from the top of the deck) . For spells, you may draw two and choose one, shuffling the other .
Curiosity Shop – curio Item
Ye Olde Magic Shoppe - spell
General Store – common item


Investigator updates (non-echo versions):
Norman Withers – When focusing either Lore or Observation, he may also focus the other, and this only counts as 1 toward his limit.
Dexter Drake – When he may draw an item from the display, he may draw a spell instead.
Rex Murphy – Can become blessed normally or by suffering 1 damage and 1 horror during reckoning. While blessed, 5s and 6s count as successes.
Wendy Adams – Can focus other investigators in her location
Minh Thi Phan – Her ability also works for up to two clues in her possession.

After significantly more playtesting, I've significantly altered the rules to still rebalance the game without being too Santa Clausy with players. They are designed to:

-address the scaling issue while adding support for 7 investigators and incorporating variants of the different game modes in UDW
-rebalance the stats and a few dead-weight investigators
-modestly increase the challenge levels of outbreak and terror scenarios
-add a bit more flexibility and thematic flavor to the action economy
-give proper weight to clues when used outside of the research action and a balanced use for Remnants for non-spellcasting investigators
