look how they massacred my boy....From one of the most interesting investigators in the entire game with his hunch deck, they made him the most generic investigator ever. Not very innovative for a 10 year old game if you ask me

Actually combos nicely with Sleight of Hand in Michael McGlen's deck. Pull this baby out, splatter someone, hide it again. This little trick, however, is not really worth the 5 XP this card is asking. And Michael likes smaller guns anyway.

Finally, Joe Diamond has all the mythos mitigation he needs to not die to the mythos phase, maybe.

Put this into one of your hand slots, take First Watch and Ariadne's Twine, and every turn you get to mess up the mythos deck in hilarious fashion! Sure, Gloria Goldberg looks on and laughs, but 'not quite as good as someone who is absolutely comically broken' is still pretty good.

Plus when the mythos deck is down to just a few cards left, lets you cut the mythos turn off early, which is nice.

Errata You may give/tip fedora from hand to any female investigator as a fast action, by paying its cost and referring to her as m'lady until the end of the scenario. The female investigator receives one mental trauma.

Flavour text "Even when the unknowable horrors of the universe descend upon a supreme gentlemen, such as yourself, you remain polite in the face of a lady".

This Trish is a massive downgrade from her original form. Before errata changed her ability (to only affect non Elites), there were tons and tons of ways to use fast actions and auto evade Elder Gods. And with Handcuffs or Fend Off and a guardian, her ability was basically "once per turn when you're at a location with a teammate, get an extra clue."

Her signature is better now (plus one card or a move; previously it was pretty situational). But her enemy is no longer something she can deal with herself with obsfucation and an investigate. If you have a guardian, easy enough for them to take the guy out. But the new weakness means if you want to play Trish solo, you have to massively build around it.

This is a downgrade. An automatic success is better than the chance to take a test. Evades are the worst of the five core actions, because not only are they contextual, they generally delay problems instead of solving them.
