When can improved action cards be acquired?

By frankcastle1975, in WFRP Rules Questions

Title says it all.

If I'm reading the FAQ right the trait advanced is not a restriction.

So improved block or any improved/advanced action card can be bought any time so long as you have the points and stat requirement (STR in this case). Is this correct?

Correct though if it has a rank requirement higher then your current rank it costs extra as well.

Yup, it's just you can't have them at character creation but could take one as first advance earned if wanted.

Thanks Guys!

Seems kinda weird to me that you only have to wait till the end of the first game session assuming you meet all the restrictions of the card. So a tank could likely buy improved block after one game.

Don't see the point in making people wait one session.

I don't think there's any rule/restriction that says you can't buy buy Improved Defense cards at character creation.
