I've noticed sometimes that I'll end up with a particular character or group that has easily acquired a lot of upgrades for one type of card but few or none for another type. I'm wondering if other people have noticed this, and whether there's a consistent pattern for which types of cards are hardest to acquire.
Some thoughts...
* Items tend to have a pretty wide variety of checks to acquire, both in terms of how high the check is and what skill it requires.
* Weapons seem to have rather high checks to acquire, especially for the best ones in a given adventure deck.
* Allies generally aren't high difficulty, but are more commonly Charisma/Diplomacy than any other skill, so low Charisma parties may have trouble getting them.
* Armor isn't very commonly available, but it's also not a card type you often want a lot of, so that's okay.
* Spells seem very hard to acquire, not because of especially high numbers, but because non-caster characters often don't have the Int or Wisdom to get them for their buddies, and because spells don't appear at all in a lot of locations. The exception is certain magic-heavy locations, but those often don't show up at all in games with fewer than a certain number of characters.
* Blessings usually aren't too hard to make the roll for if it's a type you'd want for your character, but they're probably the rarest type of all to show up in locations (unless you deal with escaping villains more often than I do). Also, you can't get Blessings as Plunder.
* There are barriers that result in acquiring new cards if you beat them, but they seem to be much more likely to be weapons, armor, or items than anything else. There's Mystic Inscription for spells, but it's not very common. Is there any barrier at all that rewards you with an ally or blessing?
* End-of-scenario rewards vary, but spells and blessings are the least common. I don't think I've seen any spell or blessing Loot yet, either, and there's only one ally Loot card that I know of.
