So I haven't bought a specialization deck yet, but I was looking at the product announcement once again - http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=4300
I was looking a bit closer at the cards pictured here. After reading the reference card, I looked at the examples provided that I could see fully. The 15 point Lethal Blows holds the # 10 spot on the tree. The prerequisite numbers show 6, 9 and 11. Makes perfect sense, you could arrive at the #10 spot via any of these directions on the tree.
Now look at the 10 point Brace card for the Bodyguard. It holds the #8 spot on the tree. The only way to get to this talent is via the #7 spot which is indeed listed as a prerequisite. But why is #12 slot listed? That's a 15 point brace talent that's only accessible by going through THIS very card. How can it possibly be a prerequisite for it's own prerequisite?
Seems there's a little bit of circular logic in the cards. They're not necessarily prerequisites as they indicate - just "connected".
