For three ER, I can't figure this. It seems more about efficiency and balancing than boosting. Like maybe you need to do 3 damage, but I only need 1 Thw? Might could help in Protection when you sometimes need a little more defense, but sometimes you don't? I dunno. Seems like a dead card.
There's a subtheme for martial artists in the Fear No Evil wave of being rewarded for doing things exactly. Stick's main purpose is helping you do that. Currently, Stealth Training and Shakedown are the only cards taking advantage of this, but there will be more coming later in the wave that will bring these sorts of abilities to all aspects. Stick is mostly meant to be a combo piece for helping to trigger those cards.

Another thing - even though it's a bit more niche - is that this card is Martial artist so you can play Black Belt on yourself and benefit from the discount of Martial Artist cards.
