Hey All;

I have a question about Maneuvers;

Does a character receive more than two maneuvers during his turn with the Explorer Signature Ability Tree: Unmatched Mobility?

Answer:

It states in the Edge of the Empire Core Rules (Page 200, Maneuver Limitations); "Regardless of the source, a single character may not perform more than two maneuvers during his turn."

I am looking for clarification on the which to follow as they seem to run against each other, is it only two, or is it more with the unmatched mobilty talent tree.

Thanks

It states in the rules text on page 35 of Enter the Unknown that you gain a possible third maneuver: one can "increase the number of maneuvers he is allowed to perform in a turn to three..."

This is a case of a general rules (a character may not exceed 2 maneuvers per turn) being superseded by a specific rule (Unmatched Ability increases your maximum maneuvers per turn to 3, for a short time). This is what one might call "an exception to the rule," and it's the very reason why Unmatched Mobility is so good in the first place.

Yeah, Signature Abilities pretty much "break the rules" in regards to the standard practices of the rules. Given how expensive they are to obtain, it's fitting that they allow the PC to do things that under the normal rules they couldn't do.
