Jim Chapman/gameplay

Gameplay
Jim's game play relies primarily on luck. He has three special abilities as of File #2, one more than the other survivors. The first ability is his aforementioned ability to Play Dead, which causes him to lay flat on the ground and not attract the attention of enemies around him. This raises his infection meter significantly, however. It also works well as a dodge move. His second ability is "Item Search" which lets him see all of the items on the map but doesn't reveal what they are until he finds them. His third ability is the Combo Swing, which gives him a multi-hit combo with swung melee weapons such as Wooden Poles and Iron Pipes. Jim has the lowest Health of any male character in the game, he also has the highest infection rate of any character. Jim's Coin and Lucky Coin allow him to raise his critical hit ratio if he gets Heads multiple times in a row. His critical hit ratio applies to all weapons, making him a very useful character.

Inventory
Personal Item: Coin

Jim always brings a coin with him at all times. If the player flip it during a scenario and get a Heads, they gain a 15% increase in the odds of a critical attack. This can be done a total of three times, increasing his critical hit chance up to 45%. However, if the player get Tails even once, it reverts back to 0%.

Extra Item (Outbreak File 2 Only): Lucky Coin

Jim's Lucky Coin boost his Critical Hit chance by 5% and also prevents weapons from being damaged as easily, even going as far as to stopping Handguns and Shotguns from being destroyed by Hunter Rs.

Staff Key -Underbelly scenario

Jim and his AI-type characters will posses this key from the start, which will save a lot of time to the player, however he will not have the key in Very hard mode.

Resident Evil: The Deck Building Game


Jim is a character card in the Resident Evil: DBG expansion, Outbreak. Jim's abilities reflect his skills in the actual games. His Level 1 effect tells the player to flip a coin, an action currently unique to Jim's card. If Heads, one weapon Jim is using deals double damage this turn. If Tails, Jim takes 10 Damage. Jim's Level 2 effect is similar to Ada Wong's in that he can move revealed Infected to the bottom of the Mansion Deck. However, Jim can only do this if he gains 2 "Ammo x10" cards, as per the effect's stipulations. Jim has 70 Health, the lowest in the entire game alongside several other characters.
