25. Double Training at Secret Masters

By Corbon, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark FAQ Update Discussions

Background:
Some people insist that due to the " also opt" wording that heroes at a SM can train both a stat upgrade and Traits/skills during the same week.

Example:
Week 22: Heroes arrive at Shika's Tree
Week 23: Hero A Trains +4W and Spiritwalker. Hero B trains +2F and 2 Melee trait dice upgrades. Hero C Trains +2F and 2 Trait dice upgrades, Hero D Trains +2F and Knight.
Week 24: Heroes travel to Frostgate

Others insist that it is simply an additional option that you can choose, allowing only 1 upgrade type out of three.
Upgrade Wounds or Fatigue OR
Train a Skill OR
Train up to two Trait Dice upgrades.

Question:
Q. Can a hero train a Secret Master stat upgrade during the same week that he trains a Dice or Skill at a Secret Master Training ground?
A1. Yes. The Secret Master Stat upgrades can be trained in addition to the normal skills or traits during the same week. For example, a Hero could Train +2F Copper level and Train two black dice during the same week for a total cost of 1500 coins and 55XP.
A2. No. Heroes may only choose one option to Train each week. Each week they can train *one* of a) a Skill, b) a Secret Master upgrade or c) up to two trait dice upgrades.

This is surely a wrong answer, but it seems to fit among with the others:

A3: Trait training works like dice training so a hero can choose to get any one of the following: 1 Skill, 2 Dices, 1 Die and 1 Stat, 1 Die and nothing else, Nothing at all.

It's probably A2 anyway.

You mean Stat training (Trait training is dice training)?
There is absolutely nothing to support that new possibility. I don't see any need to add entirely new options that don't make sense and have no existing basis for possibiity even through misinterpretation.

All good for transporting the original post to the FPD then?

If you want, you can add "A3: other (please specify)". But I don't think anything else needs to be changed.
