Force Ratings & Force Dice

By Darkvalkyrie, in Star Wars: Force and Destiny RPG

OK this question has come up in our game.

According to the rules (Pg 38 FaD Beginners Game rulebook, Pg 280 FaD rule book), If you have a Force Rating of a 2, you can only commit up to 2 Force Dice at a time.

Now if a PC wants Battle Meditation, he needs a Force Rating 2 minimum. Lets say that PC reached that Force Rating and then bought Battle Meditation.

As s/he is advancing with XP points, s/he decides to buy duration (Cost 25). Not sure if it is a misprint, but it says to Commit 3 Force Dice to to sustain ongoing effects of the power on each affected target while they remain within range.

Question - How does one do this if they only have a FR 2 to get that far? Can they not buy that duration and have to make it to the end of the Battle Meditation tree then go back to buy it?

I'm a little confused on how to use that "Duration aspect" at this point of XP purchases in game play.

You can buy it to advance in the tree, but you can't use it until you have FR 3 or better, pretty much.
