Brutal Charge trait for Weirdboyz, but not Freebooterz

By devinebovine, in Rogue Trader Rules Questions

In Into the Storm , it says that all Ork Player Characters start with the "Made Fer Fightin'" trait. This gives them the Furious Assault and Xenos Weapon Training (Ork) Talents.

But this changes in the Navis Primer ! In that book the "Made Fer Fightin'" trait says they ALSO get the Brutal Charge trait!

I feel like there must be a mistake somewhere. Weirdboyz are far less "fighty" than regular boyz, since they spend the majority of their time trying to not have their heads explode. Now, while Freebooterz can get Brutal Charge at rank 1 (for 500 xp), this inconsistency still bothers me. Since the errata didn't add it for Into the Storm characters, my hunch is that it was a misprint in the Navis Primer . Further suggesting it was a mispring, the Brutal Charge is also available for purchas in rank 2 of the Weirdboy career.

I'm just looking for some collusion before I deny my Weirdboy player Brutal Charge. Which will make him sad. But makes more sense.

Thanks for the info, but I'm kinda dense at times… So the wierdboy is not supposed to have Brutal Charge at all? Can it be gained as an advance?

Weirboyz can get Brutal Charge at Rank 2. It seems that its inclusion as a starting trait was a mistake.

While we are at it, what rank should Weirdboyz get Unarmed Warrior? They can't get it at any rank but they need it to get Unarmed Master at rank 8, while Freebooterz get Warrior at rank 3(or 4, cant remember) and Master at 8 also.
