Ascension: Spending EXP backwards?

By Hammoth, in Dark Heresy Rules Questions

Hello,

I'm looking through my german copy of Ascension again and again, but I can't seem to find if it is possible to spend EXP gained during an Ascension Campaign on Talents/ Skills etc. from the character's 'basic' Dark Heresy career.

Is it possible, and if not, how do you treat the issue with your players?

Thanks in advance

As far as I can tell from my reading, the answer is yes. But that being said, our group has not made it there yet.

As a rank 5 character is capable of spending XP on the ranks 1-4, I don't see why a rank 10 character shouldn't be able to do the same. That simply follows from the rules of the basic game.

Yes it is possible.
But it can be weird with peers because they are much more pricey in Ascansion that in DH.
So we HRed that they are an exeption to the rule.

Yes, you can!

It is mentioned in the example which describes the Transition from Interrogator to Inquisitor at the at the start of the Ascended Careers Section:

"Zane may select any advances from Rank 9-11 of Interrogator, Ranks 9-11 of Inquisitor, and Ranks 1-8 of Cleric."

I hope the box which describes this Elite Advance is in the German Edition, too.
