The Freelance Agent (F143) has the following ability: While Freelance Agent is committed to a story, it gains [two skull icons] for each character with lower skill committed by your opponents .

Does the Freelance Agent gain those extra skull icons for characters committed to any story, or only for characters committed to the story he has committed to? As the text mentions only "committed" we have been playing that he gains skull icons for evert character with lower skill committed to any story, but it did feel a bit strange, so I thought I'd check it here.

doesnt say same story, so youre playing him right.

I'm still curious about this one - has there been any official ruling? The text could go either way (all committed characters or just characters committed to that story), depending on whether you consider it possibly a bit unintentionally vague.

Any input from Marius, perhaps?

I think the text is pretty straight forward - there is nothing in the text that says opponent's characters need to be committed to the same story as Freelance Agent.

Well, there's nothing else to say.

Just look at the Clever Zoog

-- Neutral --
Clever Zoog
-----------
Type : Character
Coût : 1
Skill : 2
Icones :
Sous-type : Creature.
Descriptif : Other characters you control at the same story as Clever Zoog gain A.

It says "at the same Story" ... Nothing like this for the Freelance Agent.

The card is clear enough not to be explained
