If this skill test is successful and it is on an event you played, you may return Determined to your hand instead of discarding it.

I usually consider Determined to be a dead draw.

The majority of the events you're going to be playing don't have tests on them.

In a build where you're fighting exclusively with events they'll see a bit more play, but it's just +1 skill value (or +2 with both copies) that takes up space in your hand and that you might lose to an autofail.

There's no good skill card synergies in her current card pool to make playing around Determined interesting, like how Vincent has Grisly Totem for his On the Mends or Bestow Resolve for Carson's "As you wish" (both of which are much more less conditional skills anyways).

My hunch is that they inserted these into Marion's deck to deliberately hamper the power of her investigator ability, forcing you to draw crappy skills instead of keeping the event value train chugging.

I already played Marion and was immensely grateful for this cards. If you build your deck a bit around it (as you have to for some cards) this offers you a near constant +2. True, most cards this applies to are for the fighting role, but then again, what else are you going to do with an investigator whos highest stat is combat? — AlderSign · 309
Marion has a completely viable non-intellect cluever build with Scene of the Crime, Lesson Learned, Evidence!, Interrogate, On the Trail, even Shed a Light, Look What I Found with Breach the Door. Only two of those cards are enhanced by Determined — mordequess · 77
Yeah, but the cards you mention also push you pretty hard toward fighting (or how else are you going to trigger Evidence! without consciously circumventing her combat skill?), so I wonder what those other deck slots are filled with. Maybe just try it out, for me it worked wonders. — AlderSign · 309
I really like the idea of this card. It seems like they wanted her to be able to use those 3s in intellect and agility, or else they'd have given her more willpower, like most Guardians. But surprisingly, there are very few investigate or evade events she can even play. How odd. — OrionAnderson · 79
