I stumbled upon this card talking about binder-fodder and I was thinking
If this were a 0-cost asset with

"Fast. Play during any window.
You get +1 , +1 , and +1 .

Forced - At the end of the round: Discard Intrepid."

Would I play it?
Maybe. It's a generically ok card but most gators that can take it don't really care for all 3 stats, and assets that give a static bonus give some sort of other effect or advantage other than having more staying power. I don't think anyone would find the deckspace to run it.
This is the same, but you can't play it when you want and when you play it there's a chance that it'll whiff.
I guess there's some synergies to consider with skills and assets (Silas can recur this if it fails, for example, but has way more interesting cards to put in his deck).
I reallt don't know how to make this half-decent.

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.
