Ashcan Pete and Duke

By leoJ2, in Arkham Horror Second Edition

At the beginning of the game, when Ashcan Pete gets the Ally Card, Duke, does he get the additional sanity token to add to his card or is it necessary for him to gain it another way such as going to Arkham Asylum?

In official answers from Kevin Wilson, he says:

1. "Ashcan" Pete has printed Sanity of 4 and the Ally Duke as a fixed possession. Is his starting Sanity 4 or 5? His maximum is 5 with Duke, but does he get the extra point at the start of the game?

Pete's max at the start of the game is 5, but he starts with 4 Sanity. Duke only increases the max, he does not give you an extra point of Sanity.

But that is follewed immediately by

"I invoke the rarely-exercised power of decision reversal. You DO get the extra Sanity when starting the game with Duke, and the FAQ will reflect that when updated.

My apologies for the confusion.

-Kevin Wilson "

It is worth noting that the setup step where you take your sanity and stamina occurs after you get starting possessions, so Pete would already have Duke, and so his sanity should (rightly) start at the full 5.
