The goal
Like in a 5-deck structured deck series with the 2 cores I wanted to create 5 decks with core investigators having 2 cores and full Dunwich expansion in my hands. The goal was to have 5 decks ready at the same time, so the cards should be distributed in 5 decks, not 4. Why? To offer my friends a choice between 5 decks and to start playing with no extra time for preparation. At the same time I want all of the decks to be functional, not for true solo, but at least if I take any pair of those to play two-handed solo.
While the 5-deck structured series was really short on cards so that any card had to be taked (and in fact 2 cores lack cards for 5 complete decks at the same time), here we have more room to play with decks, quite many cards are to be left aside. However for some neutral cards one hase to choose carefully where to use them - for example there are only 8 copies of Emergency Cache and Unexpected Courage, one of the decks stays without them. Moreover there are onnly 4 copies of cards like Manual Dexterity, Guts and similar.
The deck
The role of Skids in 5 decks is unclear from the first glance. There are 4 stats but 5 colors, and Skids is sharing his top stat, dexterity, with Wendy. Our decision was hat Wendy will have the dexterity-based attacks (Backstab, Sneak Attack), so Skids is using dexterity more for evading. But the best weapons went to Roland, so Skids is like out of the game.
The decision is to make him, first of all, a support character. Thus he gets First Aid, Liquid Courage, Dynamite Blast, Leadership and also Fine Clothes. Many of those cards are resource-heavy and have no room in Roland's deck, and Skids... he is good on having many actions due to his ability, and so Leo De Luca also goes to his deck to even more increase the number of actions.
But one cannot be only the support character, and Skids should have a way to fight. For him we got only the and neutral weapons left, so here we go with .41 Derringer, Kukri (by the way, they fit well the character with more actions) and even Knife. Overpower also fits hit deck.
Now having the .41 Derringer we hit the theme of oversucceeding, and here we need more cards of the time, thus resulting in Quick Thinking and Opportunist.
The remaining slots are filled with Flashlight and Unexpected Courage. We tried to build something with Double or Nothing but failed.
