So I'm looking at the new Investigator career, and I notice that it has 2 skill advances and 3 action card advances listed.
Is this right? Why would they need so many action cards? They aren't a combat or casting class. Wouldn't they be more of a skill class?
Just seemed weird to me.
Maybe they need the cards that are not combat focused. Some of the support cards are good for this class.

I thought of that, but there really aren't that many cards to need 4 purchases (3 open + 1 fixed).
It just seemed out of line with the other comparable classes.
The investigator is an advanced class for the thief like classes. In my opinion they are the group that ends up needing the most action cards. The class most likely will wear little armor since they want to be sneaky and have more encumberance for looting. With that in mind they will most likely want as many defensive action cards they can get. They also have numerous stealthy combat actions, as well as support cards such as fluster which can help set up the rest of the party for mondo buffs. Thief like classes in Warhammer can play a much bigger roll than in other games like D&D. The thief really becomes a jack of all trades here, and though they arent the best of any one sort, they become oone of the most versatile by giving players the ption to buid them with extra action cards. skills or whatever are needed.
