New FAQ

By R5D4, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

A new FAQ was released for Edge of the Empire yesterday, the 12th of August. But since the News section doesn't seem to update correctly anymore, atleast not for me, maybe some of you haven't seen it yet.

The post can be found here: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2015/8/12/laws-of-a-lawless-region/

I'm happy to see FFG releasing a new FAQ. Was a little afraid they wouldn't, since it been a long time since they released the last one. Hopefully they will be releasing FAQs for AoR and FaD as well. :)

It did not show up on the home page for me either. I had to go into EotE for it to show on the right. Thanks.

Hey - one that's relevant to me!

In the signature ability tree for Unmatched Expertise, the third upgrade from the left in the first row currently reads: “Activate Unmatched Expertise as a maneuver instead of as an action.” It should read “Activate Unmatched Expertise as an incidental that may be triggered out of turn instead of as an action.”

Yeah, I kind of figured that on my own. But nice to get the Official Word.

I didn't even know there was an FAQ/Errata document. Thanks!

Check my understanding: FAQ says that cover, "allows the character to gain ranged defense 1" which does not stack with e.g. the defense granted by heavy armor. So guys in heavy armor don't get any benefit at all from cover? That seems... counter-intuitive.

The protection they get from armor is the same as they get from cover. It explains why Stormtroopers don't worry about cover... they are not going to gain anything from it.

Triplicate post?

The updated version is supposed to be v1.2, right? The PDF says it was updated on 6/18/2015...

I suspect it was last modified on that date, but it wasn't posted or approved until just a few days ago when it was published.

Forums were a mess earlier... posted once. But obviously it decided that was not good enough

I'm still hoping for an AoR FAQ/Errata that finally gives us the corrected stats on the Sentinel.

Yeah, someone got a triplicate thread as well, it seems :/
