So, my friend and I are playing a 6 character game and one of my characters is Zadim and one of his is Damiel. I've noticed that they have some interesting synergy and conflict.
Damiel can recharge an alchemical card to add 1d4 and acid or poison to a combat check by a character (Zadim) at his location. Then Zadim can recharge a card to add his int skill to that check since it now invokes poison.
Zadim can discard a non 2-handed weapon to give Damiel a combat boost.
Damiel can heal Zadim (healing pot) to get back all the cards he invariably discards to give himself and Damiel combat boosts.
Zadim also carries an ally from deck 1 that can be used to give anyone at his location poison added to their combat check, which can benefit either himself or Damiel, who has a similar ability to add a d6 by recharging when his check invokes poison.
But... all good things must end, right? Then we start acquiring boons. This is how I imagine the conversations might go (in reality we have a much friendlier exchange of cards) :)
Zadim - This ally adds poison to a check!
Damiel - Go for it, it's a basic card anyway.
Zadim - ...
Zadim - (Finds a Poisoned Sand Tube) Oh look it's a poison weapon!
Damiel - Umm.. "alchemical"
Zadim- *sadface* (Hands it over)
(Later...)
Damiel - I guess I'll ditch this weapon, the damage to everyone when I use it is a bit much.
Zadim - (Casually grabs it and sticks it in his backpack) You've still got some healing potions, right?
Damiel - Great.
Damiel - What's that card you just picked up?
Zadim - Umm... nuthin.
Damiel - Let me see that. Hey! That's alchemical AND liquid. Gimme!
Zadim - But.. it added poison to combat checks on a reveal... *sigh*
Zadim - NO SCORPION WHIPS FOR YOU!
Damiel - *shrug* Have you seen this fire lance? It's like a fire weapon but not really fire. How often do you see that?
Zadim - Ok you got me there.
