mouthymerc 4,478 Posted September 24, 2014 The talent only appears once in the Seer tree but is categorized as a Ranked talent. The talent gives a defense bonus based on the character's Force rating, though. So either the talent should not be ranked or the bonus should be based on how many times you have taken it, wherever it shows up in the future. I'm thinking that it shouldn't be a ranked talent. 1 kaosoe reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaosoe 6,948 Posted September 24, 2014 The ranked part may just be a typo. Good catch. 1 evileeyore reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Donovan Morningfire 8,664 Posted September 24, 2014 Or it may not be a typo. In Far Horizons, the Performer has a talent called Congenial (similar to Intimidate, but works on Charm and Negotiate checks) that is listed as being a Ranked talent, but said spec only has one instance of Congenial. And we might very well see Congenial in other specializations in yet-to-be announced products. The previous core rulebooks have all had instances of 'future-proofing' by including talents such as Inventor, part of which revolves around the building of new items... a process for which actual rules have yet to be introduced. Or the the Weighted Head attachment, which can't be applied to any of the non-cutting edge weapons in the book. And both were confirmed as being deliberately designed that way with an eye towards future products. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evileeyore 450 Posted September 24, 2014 The difference here (I have no idea how Congenial reads) is that there is no provision for what additional Ranks would do. It's not Ranks times Force Rating, it's just "... by a number equal to the character’s Force rating until ...". Yes, other Trees do have Ranked Talents appear only once, but those Talents tend to at least give an indication of what additional Ranks would do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mouthymerc 4,478 Posted October 1, 2014 I would think that if it isw a ranked talent that the "number" of dice would be based on how many times you have taken the talent rather than Force Rating. Which would make it still a typo just of a different sort. So either the Ranked is a typo or the reference to Force Rating is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yugwen18 56 Posted October 10, 2014 Hawk Bat Swoop has the same anomaly in its talent description on pg. 102. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
