Operative Sniper (But Really about Investigator Multiclassing)


Operative Class Discussion

Let's say a player multiclasses into Investigator for Devise a Stratagem.

Let's say they're in a Deep Rock Galactic style one-shot, facing off against a bunch of bugs, with no great mysteries.

Devise a Stratagem is a free action if you're aware that creature could help answer the question at the heart of one of your active investigations.

Q1: Would you allow this player to get free action Devise a Stratagems because each bug is helping to answer the investigative question "How many bugs am I going to kill today?" or some other sham investigation?

Q2: If a sniper operative *can* get reliable free-action Devise a Stratagems, how busted is that?

Q3: If Devise a Stratagem was always going to be 1 action in such a game, how would you optimize around it?

Basically since this is going to be a fun birthday oneshot I made a Devise a Stratagem Sniper for a player to use, and I really like how much better a sniper feels with that ability. If you're making one shot a round, dumping bad rolls and switching targets is so juicy. It makes me wonder if we're going to see a lot of investigator multiclass snipers.
