Amanda Sharpe - The Student

Does anyone else see a glaring flaw in her combination of starting equipment and abilities?

Starting talent gives her an extra talent when she gets a talent

Ability let's her convert talents to improvements

Passive let's her take talents instead of those improvements, triggering her starting talent

So, as soon as she gets a single new talent, or improvement, every turn there after, she DOUBLES the number of improvements and talents she has. Doesn't this seem a bit... Powerful?

Depends what's on the back of that Quick Study card, I guess...

we don't know the other side of Quick Study yet. I assume, through play-testing, that they would've cleared this up as an issue, much like with the original Tommy Muldoon.

i assume that Quick Study will have a discard effect to it, as i can't see it having a severely negative effect as a talent.

You only gain 1 talent per turn this way, you wouldn't double it.

Also, she starts with only one talent, so until she gains another the engine can't be started. I would still say that other investigators like Daisy start with significantly more powerful turn 1 engines.
