I've had a lot of fun with this card, and I think it is a slodi include in decks that can handle drawing it early. This is now easier to do with access to red, as the Survivor card pool has a very fledged out "Discard" archetype. It also has two relevant traits in Insight and Spirit, which are constantly getting more support.

However, I have also come to like this card in general in lower player counts where additional actoins are more valuable. I do think it is able to pull its weight, and more people should try it out.

You can use Robert's ability to shot and then put .32 Colt into play. Shot couple more times and use .32 Colt's ability (by paying 1 resource) to take it back to hand, where it's ready to be used by Robert next turn.

It's possible but costly to repeat it each turn. This could be mitigated by shooting Colt at least once before returning it to hand, if you're [Michael McGlen that gives 1 resource (2 if combined with [Stylish Coat).

I'm surprised there isn't a review for this.

It's good. It's really damn good. I've played Hank Samson once in a Standard Dunwich campaign and this card was often really useful, but I played it before I realised I couldn't use it against that one enemy we all hate, so I would probably play him again in a different campaign. Testless damage is something that gets much better in Hard / Expert, but is still great in Standard / Easy.

It's best to save Stouthearted for when you flip as it is functionally some of the only healing you have. (Note that you still have soak and whatnot. Cards like Wrong Place, Right Time and "Devil" work too, but Stouthearted does it the most reliably and efficient way in my opinion. Peter Sylvestre / Peter Sylvestre(2XP) + Jessica Hyde, Perseverance, shit like that.)

Since Stouthearted is fast, it lets you put out a burst of extra damage in a turn without sinking an action on it.

However, there are four minor caveats to Stouthearted. The first is the timing restriction, which is probably the most frustrating part of the card. You can't just play it any time and get value out of it, you either have to draw an enemy or engage an enemy that's engaged with another investigator to play it. Normally, engaging is a loss of tempo, but with Stouthearted you mitigate that loss by dealing 2 damage, which is generally an average amount for fighters. To combat this, what I usually do is run separate engage cards such as "Get behind me!", "Get over here!" / "Get over here!" (2XP), and Heroic Rescue / Heroic Rescue(2XP). Personally, I think "Get over here!" (2XP) is the best card to pair with this as it potentially lets you do upwards of 3-4 damage fast(Stouthearted + 1 damage from successful fight + any other potential damage boosts).

Second of all, you need to have damage/horror on you. This really isn't a problem as the mythos is more than happy to dish out damage/horror and you can always take damage/horror through beneficial card effects such as Blood Will Have Blood and Fend Off.

Thirdly, you cannot recurr it without looping for your deck. It's not a card and it doesn't have a level, so there's no way to get it back. And that's okay. Just using this once is beneficial.

And lastly, this doesn't work against Elite enemies. I'm not surprised. You'll still have plenty of applicable targets to use this.

For two resources, a card, and some awkward timing restrictions, you have a pretty damn good signature card that makes you feel like you're a powerhouse of a tank.

Speaking from personal experience here. I'm playing with a George Barnaby / Forced Learning through our blind run of The Drowned City and they put a one-of this into their deck. It's almost always used for it's commits and has never been played once. It feels so underwhelming. Most decks that could run this would almost certainly prefer Act of Desperation because it refunds you back and even gives you a chance to fight alone. Yes, you'll have a harder time if you have less base , but the refund on resources is much more efficient than grabbing a clue.

However, this card has one great use. It is an incredible Scavenging enabler. While it won't give you back resources like Act of Desperation, you can play Unconventional Method, discard the asset that you want to loop, investigate with a bit bonus, and then if you have enough resources and succeed by 2, you can play the same asset that you discarded all in the same action. Minh Thi Phan + The Necronomicon, anyone? (Edit: Well, this part aged like fine milk.)

P.S. I really like how the art is the same Winchester 1866 from Act of Desperation. It's also being gripped the same way as well.

I presume this card can be used to cancel Prophecy of the End?

Am I mistaken? (Edit, yes I think I am... see below)

Chatgpt states:

Interaction Summary Psychic Sensitivity requires:

An investigator is drawing an encounter card.

A copy of that same encounter card is already beneath Gloria Goldberg.

Prophecy of the End is an encounter card, so it qualifies.

If someone draws a Prophecy of the End and one is already beneath Gloria, Psychic Sensitivity can:

Be played in response to the draw.

Cancel all of Prophecy's effects (i.e., the Surge and Forced effect).

Discard both the drawn copy and the one beneath Gloria.

Allow Gloria to draw 1 card as a bonus.

I'm not talking about cancelling the card if found via search. It might behoove you to cancel the actual surge drawing of the card to both skip the surge AND remove a copy beneath Gloria. I believe it might be the case that surge is a keyword ability and not an effect, so you're probably always surging. It might be since there is no effect to cancel, you cannot cancel Prophecy of the End with this card?

Edit: Our understanding is that surge is a keyword ability and not effect. Therefore, the card has no effects to cancel, which means Psychic Sensitivity cannot be played to cancel the lack of effect. This is our interpretation, and not an official ruling.
