Will may also refer to: the "Will" Skill card, or Will check, a skill check.

Will is a Skill value which appears on each investigator card. It is paired with the Fight skill, and adjusted together with that skill via a Skill slider.

Like the other skill values, the total Will value may be adjusted from the amount on the investigator card by the effects of Skill cards or other cards in play.

Will is one of the most important skills, as it is required to maintain Sanity when encountering a Monster.

Will Value Use in Gameplay

Horror checks

The total Will value, as adjusted by the effects of Skill cards or other cards, is also used for Horror checks. These are a special type of Skill check used in the first phase of Combat and may have different positive or negative modifiers applied to them, in addition to the modifiers on the basic Sneak check.

The value of Will used for a Horror check may be further adjusted by the investigator spending clue tokens on that check.

Will checks
