'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is an [[Action]]-[[Duration]] card from {{Set|Plunder}}. It will give you an extra Action next turn if you gain a card costing {{cost|5}} this turn, and it will remain in play giving you extra Actions for as many turns as you keep gaining {{nowrap|{{cost|5}}'s.}}

== FAQ ==
=== Official FAQ ===
* Taskmaster can end up making +1 Action and +{{Cost|1}} turn after turn, as long as you keep gaining at least one card costing {{nowrap|{{Cost|5}}.}}
* It only matters what the card cost when you gained it, not what it costs at other times. 
* Taskmaster does not count cards gained before playing it.

=== Other rules clarifications ===
* Repeating Taskmaster's ability doesn't count as playing it again (which means you can't use a [[Way]] to make Taskmaster do something other than its usual ability at this point, and it won't count for {{Card|Conspirator}}).
* At the start of your turn, you can first repeat this ability, then gain a {{Card|Duchy}} with {{Card|Importer}}, and that will let the Taskmaster repeat itself on your next turn.
* This checks the cost that a card had at the moment you gained it. So if you gain a {{Card|Destrier}} that costs {{Cost|6}}, that won't count for Taskmaster (even though its own gain means it now costs {{Cost|5}}). But if you gain a {{Card|Destrier}} that costs {{Cost|5}} (meaning it now costs {{Cost|4}}), that lets Taskmaster repeat itself.
* If gaining a {{Cost|5}}-cost card ''causes'' you to play a Taskmaster (e.g. you play {{card|Haggler}} and buy a {{cost|5}} card, and then gain a Taskmaster with {{Card|Haggler}}'s ability and play the Taskmaster with {{Project|Innovation}}), that will let the Taskmaster repeat itself on your next turn.
* If you haven't gained a {{Cost|5}}-cost card this turn, Taskmaster can be trashed with {{Card|Improve}}. But if you gain a {{Cost|5}}-cost card afterwards (with a 2nd Improve), the Taskmaster will still repeat itself on your next turn (and potentially for multiple turns); you will have to remember this.

=== Secret History ===
{{Quote|Text= The first version made +{{Cost|2}}, and then +1 Action each turn until you gained an Action. After that I jumped to the final card. The wording got tweaked repeatedly to try to be clear and avoid bad interactions, but it stayed basically the same.

=== Wording ===
{{Quote|Text= 
A lot of work went into that wording, trying to find something that handled all the cases that needed handling. "Play this again" was tried and failed; consider Throning it.
