I have a rules question already. :)
Quinn has this ability: (similar to other characters)
At the end (□ or start) of your turn, you may examine the top card of your location.
If the checkbox is checked, the "or" is effectively an "and" - right? I can examine my location both at the start and end of my turn?
Thanks.
Anyway, looking forward to the game and playing with everyone.
By the way, I intentionally selected Quinn for a short adventure because I'm not sure how viable he would be in a longer OP adventure path. His base deck is Ultimate Equipment, but a fair number of the stealth/acrobatics Finesse weapons in UE require weapon proficiency - which he doesn't have. Also, the designers seem to want him to be an Alchemist, but his power of automatically passing recharge checks on Alchemical cards would seem to rarely come into play in OP.
Anyway, Quinn will still be fun to play in OP for a few scenarios. And he could be awesome in non-OP Crimson Throne, which is his home set.
Per hangouts request, here's the list of Core cards that I'll be swapping into my starting deck: Caltrops, Burglar, Leather Armor, Standard Bearer, Thieves' Tools, Rapier, Sage's Journal.
I mostly chose the Rogue class deck to have access to Masterwork Tools as a B item upgrade, but it turns out it has tons of Core equivalents as well.
Per hangouts request, here's the list of Core cards that I'll be swapping into my starting deck...Standard Bearer....
Not the Standard Bearer, it turns out. It's level 1.

@wkover - has there been official clarification that Quinn can use a class deck as well as UE? While it makes a lot of sense to do so, Quinn isn't technically from the Ultimate Add-On deck, so the way the rules are written in the PACS Guide don't actually cover this case.
I agree 100% that it makes sense to treat Quinn as if he were from UE, but I haven't been able to track down any clarification on this. I've been looking because I'm playing Quinn in a Curse table, and would definitely like to be able to add some cards from another deck to the mix. Still, at least I finally get a chance to use my Investigator's Lamp!

Mark hasn't said anything, so I take his silence to be tacit approval. :)
Quinn definitely gets less interesting in OP if he can only use UE.

That's my feeling, too.
Somebody else pointed out to me that unlocked characters (Jirelle with the Rogue deck, Mavaro with assorted decks, ...) get treated pretty much as if they are part of the deck they are allowed to use, so it makes sense to treat Quinn as if he were part of UE.
I'm going to go ahead and add a rogue deck to my Quinn, too, and see whether Yewstance says anything.
Using the following Core cards in my starting deck:
Mace, Longsword, Chain Mail, Crowbar.
Using Fighter and UC decks.
Much like my fellow fighter, I'll be using:
Longspear, Mace, Longsword, Chain Mail, Crowbar from core, and Fighter and UC decks.

During This Scenario: WBH-1B: Chicken Run
Danger: Blasted Chicken
Villain: None
Henchmen: None
This scenario has two acts, Act 1 and Act 2. In both acts, you may not move on your move step. After you defeat a bane or acquire a boon, you may move. When you move, you may move only to an adjacent location.
Act 1: When Shiny Longshanks is defeated, display the story bane Blasted Chicken next to the scenario. At the end of the turn, if Shiny Longshanks was defeated using a combat check, display the Proxy A at the rightmost location; otherwise banish it and display Proxy B at the rightmost location. Then begin Act 2.
Act 2: At the start of your turn, each character must succeed at a Constitution, Fortitude, Stealth, or Survival 5 check or suffer the scourge Entangled. Then if a Proxy A is displayed at your location, suffer 1 Combat damage; if Proxy B is displayed at your location, add 1 to your checks against banes this turn. Then display the proxy at the rightmost occupied location.
After a character encounters a non-summoned bane, any number of other characters may summon and encounter it.
In the reset step of any turn in which you did not move, you may reset and remove 1 of your scourges.
When the proxy is displayed at the leftmost location, you win.
Ok so question on the part that says: In the reset step of any turn in which you did not move, you may reset and remove 1 of your scourges.
So this means I can reset and remove the entangled scourge on someone else's turn, right?
And finally, I'd like to double check resetting for this as I think our in-person gaming group has been doing this wrong for years....
If I reset on someone else's turn per above instructions, does that mean the entire Reset step? Ie discard down to hand size or (optionally more) then draw back up?
