Fair points all, and thanks for the clarification on the rule, but it comes across as lazy when something they've specifically had to FAQ due to it being unclear in one book is left with the same wording. As for the proof reading comment it's more for poor use of english at points in the book than unclear rules, and admittedly it's nowhere near as bad as, for example, when they did WFRP 2nd ed. Probably just me being a bit of a purist with language, but to be fair that is why proof readers are employed... Still, my apologies if I've ruffled any feathers.

I know this was errata'd for Edge of the Empire, but I'm a little confused as to why the new rulebook also has the same wording for damage dealt in the two scales of combat. In personal scale any uncancelled successes deal extra damage over the weapon's base rating, while in planetary scale it's 'remaining success symbols after overall success has been established'. I'm assuming that they have just been incredibly lazy with copy/pasting the rules from EotE (wouldn't surprise me, especially as their proof reading seems a bit poor with this book), but is it possible I've missed something and it really is meant to work differently at the different scales?
