+2 Cards If you have 5 or fewer cards in hand (after drawing), +2 Actions. When another player plays an Attack card, you may first reveal this from a hand of 5 or more cards, to draw 2 cards then discard 3. |
Diplomat is an Action–Reaction card from the second edition of Intrigue. When you're Attacked, it gives you an opportunity to adjust the contents of your hand to possibly mitigate the attack. When you play it, it gives you +2 cards, plus a village effect if your handsize is small enough. Since Diplomat's Reaction effect itself reduces your handsize, its Reaction and on-play effects have some synergy.

FAQ
Official FAQ
- When playing this, you get +2 Cards, then count your cards in hand, and if you have 5 cards or fewer, you get +2 Actions.
- So, for example if you play this from a hand of 5 cards, you will put it into play, going down to 4 cards, then draw 2 cards, going up to 6 cards, and that is more than 5 cards so you would not get the +2 Actions.
- Diplomat can also be used when another player plays an Attack card, if you have at least 5 cards in hand.
- Before the Attack card does anything, you can reveal a Diplomat from your hand; if you do, you draw 2 cards, then discard 3 cards (which can include the Diplomat).
- If you still have at least 5 cards in hand after doing that (such as due to Council Rooms), you can reveal Diplomat again and do it again.
- You reveal Reactions one at a time; you cannot reveal two Diplomats simultaneously.
- You can reveal a Moat from your hand (to be unaffected by an Attack) either before or after revealing and resolving a Diplomat (even if the Moat was not in your hand until after resolving Diplomat).

Trivia
Secret History
I needed a new Reaction. As with Secret Chamber it sounded nice to have the top deal with some Attacks while the bottom dealt with others (though it didn't end up like that). The top originally only gave +1 Action as the bonus for a small hand; that was still a nice bonus, but one day I thought of giving you +2 Actions and that seemed fun. Some games that's your Village, and you go for combos that will make it work, or else hope they attack you. The bottom originally gave a Silver when you gained or trashed a card. You had to discard it, so you couldn't gain the pile instantly (a once-per-turn approach was another option). I realized that discarding Reactions was not great, due to issues with early versions of Charm in Empires. Once-per-turn would have been okay but it got me thinking about, could I do better than this Silver thing. I had always wanted a Reaction that gave you a new hand when attacked, and tried a version of that, then tweaked it into what you see. When they attack, you use the ability (unless your hand is too good), and while you end up with just 4 cards in hand, on your turn you play Diplomat and are back to 5, with the +2 Actions.
