So, no one bothered to review the level 0 version, probably because it was clearly a trade-off: investigator A spends an action to give an additional action to investigator B so collectively there is no action gain, simply a transfer from the one that probably has the most important role (getting the clues). But you had to include the card in your deck instead of one actually helping you to fullfill your role (or helping the other investigator to fulfill his/hers).

This version gives an additional bonus: all the - 4 - actions get a +1, which is a good thing (comparable to half an Encyclopedia but for all skills) ... but shines if investigator B is a rogue using a few of the events that add to skill values (Cheap Shot, Slip Away and Breaking and Entering).

And in a "big hand" deck you also have the option of using Farsight to play guidance as a fast event to avoid the loss of an action.


it doesn't provoke attack of opportunity as an other additional bonus but it seems unlikely that you care about AoOs just for this action so it's a quite situational bonus

I agree 100%. The best user case (outside of Farsight decks) is probably parallell Roland with the Red Tape Directive (" When you play an Insight or Tactic event, exhaust this Directive: That event gains fast"). He might be fine with the level 0 versio, though. — olahren · 3412
Oddly this card feels like it’s more comparable to a skill rather than an event. For a net loss of 0 actions, somebody will get ? on all their tests this round. As AlexP notes, skill-double-dip tests from rogues (or mystics) will enjoy, an additional synergy w rogues is they have the most access to bonus actions already, so if your rogue has Leo Deluca or is Skids or wants to Think Quick etc, that’s all the more actions with a free ? attached. — HanoverFist · 719

About the attack of opportunity, this feels like a card mandy would love to play to help the fighters taking down a massive ennemy in a single turn. — Docteur_Hareng · 7
@ Docteur_Hareng: The reason, that is a very situational bonus is, that if you spend an action to play this, you will most of the time still have 2 actions to forgo, if you are incapable of evading the enemy, you are engaged with. Unless you have other options to avoid AoO, like the "Prophesiae Profana" or other events, or the scenario gives you some oportuity to parley, et cetera. — Susumu · 366
