I'm just wondering, has anyone played Olenjack through an entire AP and which role did you chose, and how well did it work? In one of my groups, we are one scenario away from completing deck 3 in S&S, and I'm actually torn. I really like the character, but there isn't a lot of Olenjack discussion I can find - on here or anywhere.
At the moment I'm leaning toward Spider, because of the cool ability to negate all Poison damage. But how useful is this going to be in later decks of S&S? It would be nice not to have to wait until I draw my Masterwork Tools before I can comfortably add poison to my combat check. At the moment it can sometimes clog up my hand. Also, I'm the only one in my group with Perception, so being able to draw when I succeed at Perception would be nice.
On the other hand, I am also the only one in my group with Diplomacy. If I focused on this it could be awesome. As Guild Leader, I can recharge the allies I display, and cycling is key, right?
Does anyone else have experience playing as him?

I went with Spider and never looked back. I honestly don't even use my allies that much for bonuses since you can only use them on your own checks and you need to display them to do so, thus negating your potential additional explores. So picking Guild Leader seemed like focusing on the part of the character I didn't like as much.
My favorite part of Spider was finding poison trait weapons for the free additional explores and not having to worry about using the awesome poisons that come with the rogue character deck. The negating poison damage is cool too but I didn't find it coming up that often.

Cool, thanks. I went with Spider in the end as well, mostly so I can use the Poison boosts with abandon. I like the display ally power, but I generally use it only when I know I won't be exploring again. Will be very happy when I get a nice Poison weapon.
