For example: are all the cthulhu cards the same source? or each stage is a different source? so you receive 1 sanity and then 2 more at the end of each turn cause of cthulhu cards, then reduce them to 0 and 1, or do you receive 3 in total and reduce it to 2?

I find toughness very broken if you do it the first way :S


Most of the skills will feel broken when fully maxed out. The thing is, if you are choosing to max that out, you aren't maxing out the other skills that will help you to actually kill the boss. So, you may survive longer, but you can't do as much damage.

There are certain skill/boss/episode combinations that are completely "broken", but that shows just how much variety there is in the game for having such a simple ruleset. Being able to auto hit enemies when resting is amazing against certain situations, but worthless in others. Being able to shoot 2 spaces away with a bunch of extra dice can be fantastic, but sometimes it's not really that helpful.

If you find character/episode/boss combinations that are clearly actually "broken" then you can write them down and make sure not to use them again, but all of the skills can be used in advantageous ways, while still being innefective at times.
