I loved the Investigator in 1E and think it's stronger than ever. There are a few things that I think should be talked about and clarified though.
1. The most obvious thing is that investigators roll their primary ability far less often than other classes will roll theirs. It is also generally less useful since there are extremely few class features that actually benefit from it at all. I don't think this defeats the class entirely. But I do think it's clear that their primary purpose in combat is support with maybe a couple well placed studied strikes. Still, I think it would be a good idea to have features that allow Intelligence to be rolled more frequently.
2. Take the Case. No action icon is associated with this. Since I imagine investigators will want to use this if they don't manage to detect a creature before combat breaks out. It would be good to know how it fits into the action economy.
3. I like Observe Expeditiously. However, I think it might be flavorful to also allow the action to Recall Knowledge. I realize this might step on the toes of the Known Weaknesses Class feat. However, when I first read it without having read that feat yet, it felt so obvious to me that Recall Knowledge should be an included feature. Especially for an ability that can only be used once every ten minutes.
4. How does the feat Clue Them All In work with Combat Clue? I imagine all party members receive the +1 on their first attacks until the investigators next turn, but the wording isn't the clearest.

It says it takes 1 minute to establish, so you could use 10 turns of combat to do it xD Right now you need to "Take the case" before the fight. For example if you are hiden and see the enemy before the fight, if you have seen a foot print or heard a voice from the enemy you can "Take the case" for that subject. Or if you have heard about this big boss who is ruling the dungeon and sending waves of orcs against you, you can "Take the case" for that big boss.
