Hi all!
I got a question from my players about Resolve (f.x. in the Doctor tree).
The wording makes it sound like it affects the whole group and not just the being having it in it's skill tree.
'When a character involuntarily suffers Strain......' implies that it not only affects the whole group, but perhaps also stacks with all other players ranks in Resolve (it is present in other trees as well, after all).
Is there a clarification to this?
Edited by MixxathonSorry for this. I just found the answer in the BETA errata of all places.
Resolve: Modify the first senence in the description to say "when THE character involuntarily suffer strain"
FFG made the customers pay for "Beta" and then just ignored the corrections?
Oh well.. I should perhaps have put off buying this until Second Edition
I don't know specifically about this one, but FFG (Sam if I'm not mistaken) outright said that if the corebook disagrees with the Beta or reverses changes made in beta updates, the book is correct every time (with the explicit exception of any mention of skills that no longer exist). Not sure if that holds true in this particular case, but I wouldn't just read the Beta updates and call it solved.

Wouldn't that wording also imply that NPCs are affected also (there are characters)? I think the wording is too vague to intentionally mean if affects more than the character with the talent. I would say only that character is affected.

Technically, it implies that it would apply to every character existing within the game (friend or foe, next to you or on the other side of the galaxy), and that's just stupid. The Talent is obviously intended to only apply to the character with the Talent.
If you read the talent's description (Pg. 142, first listed) it clearly states "When the character suffers strain..." Obviously they didn't change the wording in the talent tree, but the description in the Talent List they did. I would follow the full description wording and not the shortened version in the Talent Trees.

Solid suggestion. As the old adage goes, "text trumps table."
Particularly as quite a few talents and Force upgrades as listed in the trees only give the "Cliff Notes" version of what that talent/upgrade actually does, generally for the sake of conserving space on those pages.
