Game Components:
- 50 Custom Role Cards for Lola
- New Investigator Player Card and Player Card Back
- New Signatures Improvisation and Crisis of Identity
- Scripted Role Selecter created by Serendipigans

Overview
Reworked Lola Hayes by introducing a character deck similar to Joe Diamond's hunch deck. Each turn, you pull a "role" from the character deck by choosing from 2. The roles all fit into 5 classes giving Lola a very mercurial and flexible playstyle. Also, the number of "roles" you take on from each class at the start of deck creation will determine the level of the cards you may add to her deck.

For example, if Lola Hayes took 3 Guardian roles, 2 Survivor roles, 2 Seeker roles, and 3 Rogue roles, her deckbuilding would look something like this:

Guardian cards Lvl 0-3
Survivor cards Lvl 0-2
Seeker cards Lvl 0-2
Rogue cards Lvl 0-3
NO Mystic cards Lvl 0
(Along with Neutral cards Lvl 0-5 of course)

You can even randomize the 10 roles you get at the start of a campaign, for a "draft" experience!!!

Give it a try! Massive shoutouts to Robert, BôL, and Adran06 for helping me polish some of her mechanics. Thank you to Serendipigans for the scripted deck selecter. Also shoutout to The Beard for helping me with some formatting. Also, please check out Alice in Wonderland campaign! If you like this version of Lola, you'll absolutely love that campaign. I definitely drew inspiration from an element of the finale from that scenario. She is still under testing, so please feel free to send your feedback to @tofumuffin on Discord.

Ohhhh you were asking if the rework her is strong. I'd put her somewhere at B+ tier. There's some really fun builds.

She can put Astronomical Atlas in play and use Written in the Stars / Scroll of Secrets combos with cards like Leadership(2) and Copycat. (That's sorta what Lorelei was built for)

There's also really decent Dark Horse / Survivor-leaning builds with Psyche, Persephone, Berenice.

Bast was also clearly intended to enable Miss Doyle.

Safeguard (2) + Sigyn is also really fun. Those are a lot of the decks I like to play with her.

Already tried her in the first scenario of our starting CU campaign.
Now i even more hooked. She doesn't seem too strong as long as you not consiously striving for some crazy min-max strategies and just trying to roleplay flexible actress while covering for your teammates.
Once again, thank you for this project)

@Darakkuu Yes. This Lola removes the forced ability that she has to play around. That was part of the rework xD. I think the current balance is not something I am drawn to. I know people who enjoy the challenge of it, but I made the rework to more actively engage how I would want to roleplay an actress character in a RPG. Thanks for your kind comments and your interest :D

Amazing work, I'm quite enamored with this rework. Want to ask two questions, to be sure:
1. Is this Lola can use all her cards at any given time, or is she ony able to use cards from the class coressponding to her current active role?
2. How is you personal feel on her current "balance". Not seeking some illusory perfection, just geniunly curious.

Great work :steamhappy:

@Ze_Azrael Hey there. That is a pretty good catch on Kitsune. The intention was to have Kitsune only affect you. Most of the Rogue roles have very little support functionality. When I get a chance I will update Kitsune to be accurate like "Reduce the resource cost of fast cards and item assets you play by 1". Psyche (along with many of the other exhaust roles) actually get to be used an additional time in the player window at the end of the mythos phase just before you switch out the roles. The idea for Psyche is that during your investigation phase, when you have psyche out, you can dump all of your resources on it to get the boost, and then during the next mythos phase, you can transfer all the money back before it gets shuffled away.

Thank you for the kind words for the artifact deck/investigators :D I admit the artifact deck aren't necessarily the most balanced, but I am glad that I can reach a certain demographic of players who do enjoy the flavor and fun of them! Cheers.

Loving the look of this rework. Excited to play her in our new campaign.
A couple clarification questions:
1. Kitsune says "Reduce the resource cost of fast cards and item assets by 1." Does this apply for everyone at the table? The way I read it, it does, since unlike most other role cards, it doesn't say anything like "you play", and a lot of Lola's roles are fairly supporty (and you seem to have careful wording in the other cards).
2. Psyche says "or vice versa". This made me wonder how its meant to work, since you need to exhaust Psyche to move resources TO it. After which you cannot exhaust it to move resources FROM it. And resources on it would be discarded at the beginning of the next investigator phase when Psyche leaves play (even if you happen to immediately draw and choose it again), right?

PS: We also loved playing with your artifact deck and investigators on our previous campaign!

@Zemfer Hello! Thanks for checking the mod out. Tsarevna is a neutral role that you can include as 1 of the 10 role cards she can choose during deck creation. The idea behind this card is that it provides you with a little more consistency when it comes to dealing with Cassilda and finding a role that is useful to your situation. At the beginning of a game, you will be shuffling Tsarevna into your role deck ONLY if you chose her during deck creation. Otherwise, its not in your player deck or anywhere.

Lola's forced ability does not imply she can have multiple roles. Each turn, her role is randomized. You shuffle back the current role, and then choose 1 from 2 that you randomly draw. That is what the forced ability is doing.
Zemfer 12 Jun, 2021 @ 8:39am 
Hello, I'm super in love with this character! I hope to test drive a few decks with her! but i am wondering what to do with Tsarevna Lebed (is it shuffled at the beginning?) also Lola "forced" ability indicates to shuffle a role asset, is this implying that we can have multiple role assets in play?

@Jimmy Misclick Thank you for the interest in the mod. Lola's forced ability occurs at the start of the investigation phase not the start of your turn. It also does not cost an action either. It also doesn't trigger attacks of opportunity.
