LEGACY

Affinity

After winning, keep note that you gain affinity with one of the items in your inventory (the rule book has litle checkboxes to tick). In future games during setup you may shuffle up to two Affinity cards into the mentor deck, taking −5 to your starting current and maximum health per card. When drawn while dealing mentors, place them upright and face-up in your inventory as a copy of one of your Affinitied items before drawing a new Mentor card and continue dealing. You can only affinity the same item once per game, but can have a 2nd copy if you loot that item from a monster.
