Hello all,

I have played Lurker a few times and while I think I am interpretting this one thing right, it just sits wrong with me.

If I have a Soul Pact, I gain the following ability.

"Any Phase: While this card is refreshed, anytime you would gain any amount of Sanity, you may instead gain that amount of Power."

So the scenerio is, I am playing Harvey Winters and I have 1 Sanity left, I then go to the Asylumn and spend $2 to fill me back up to 7 Sanity. After spending the $2 can I then choose to not gain any Sanity and instead gain 6 power?

The way I read it, this is legit, but it makes gaining power so incredibly easy....

So which is it?

Yes. The Asylum and Hospital make it ridiculously easy to gain Power for cash. The trade-off is supposed to be, if you do that, you will likely be carrying around Power for a little while, and a Reckoning might ding you for that. But some would say that Reckonings aren't too big a deal, or that instead, you should get all your Sanity back and then sacrifice it for Power just before you plan to use that Power.
