At 3 Resources, this is a bit expensive, since that (and the slot) could have gotten you Tooth of Eztli or Grisly Totem, always assuming you can't take Crystalline Elder Sign or Rabbit's Foot. On the other hand, Seeker isn't exactly drowning in enemy control, so this isn't terrible, just a bit overshadowed by other choices. It's the kind of thing that you upgrade out of fairly quickly once your core XP plan is realized.

While most of the Starter Deck investigators got Basic Weaknesses tailored to make them (in particular) cry, Harvey got one that's reasonably mild for him. Sure, getting milled a random card each turn sucks, but Harvey can withstand a couple rounds of this better than, say, Ursula who struggles a bit with card draw. Annoying in HArvey, potentially devastating in almost any Guardian.

This has been updated to match my "Signature Weakness Project." I have done my best to make sure that the original content isn't altered too much, out of respect for any comments.

A weakness with a strong theme, although mechanically, it's kind of a blunt tool. Looking at the two elements, the effect and the discard condition, we get:

The effect: Harvey takes 1 damage for every 3 cards in his hand. The good news is that this won't kill Harvey outright from full Health unless you are doing some Dream-Enhancing jankery before you find this. The bad news is that you will want to keep your hand size low until you draw this, and that is not Harvey's jam. Much like The Home Front, timing is going to be everything with this card, and is not exactly great with soaking Damage. You could work with Charisma and Miskatonic Archaeology Funding to build a meat shield, but that's a lot of XP, Resources, and actions (plus MAF limits the soak they can offer you). You could add Mr. "Rook" and dig like crazy for it, but Harvey doesn't really need Rook otherwise, since he will have his whole deck in is hand sooner or later. Scroll of Secrets can try to fish it out, but that is a bit of a long shot. Really, it boils down to "keep your hand small until drawn" or "stock up on soak."

On the other hand, nothing says "gambling with your life" like being a faculty member with a grant opportunity on the line.

The discard condition: One and done, although it goes into the discard pile, and Harvey is great at decking himself, so....

All in all, this is an average signature weakness, maybe a bit worse in long scenarios. I kind of wish it was themed better like "put a resource on this card for each 3 cards in your hand. remove one resource. Discard when there are no resources. Harvey cannot take other actions while this card is in play." Perfect distracted professor!

This is... not flashy at all, but a good utility card for "Big Hand" Harvey.

It's no match for Duke, but what is?

It's less good than Zoey's Cross or Jim's Trumpet, since you won't weep if you don't see it. It's less good than Sophie or Twilight Blade because it doesn't open up a totally new ability.

It's about equal to Roland's .38 Special, since it just lets you do what you wanted to do a bit better.

It's a bit better than Heirloom of Hyperborea, since it always lets Harvey do what he's good at as opposed to being good only in some builds.

It's better than Jake Williams, since you will always want to play it, and better than Jenny's Twin .45s, because it doesn't fill your hand slots. It's better than Becky, because Harvey doesn't have an overly-close attachment to his Vault that makes other investigators nervous.

Another flavorful signature weakness. Looking at the two elements, the effect and the discard condition, we get:

The effect: Stella takes a damage if she initiates a test of 4 difficulty or higher. The Encounter Deck isn't shy about tossing out 4- and 5-difficulty tests, and it's pretty easy to get into a fight with Enemies with a 4 Fight and/or Evade. In Solo, the is just enough of a cost that you have some serious thinking to do when this pops out of a Rabbit's Foot draw....

The discard condition: . That is all. It does get discarded, but Stella is not all that likely to deck herself.

All in all, this is a below average signature weakness. it shuts down Stella's shenanigans until you can clear it, but it is unlikely to cost you the scenario or campaigns.
