I have a quick question about the Backgrounds. In the "Create Your Rebels" section (page 18), it says choose one of the two listed skills, but each Background lists four skills when it says select one as a focus. I'm assuming you get one Focus Skill for Background and another for Calling, is it just a misprint when it says select one of the two for Background?
Hi LobsterHarmonica, that is correct, it should say "four Skills" for Backgrounds. You do end up with a total of two Focus Skills, one for Background and one for Calling. Thanks for asking!
Just picked up a physical copy at a local game store - super excited to give it a try, the book is gorgeous
Thanks so much! If you have any rules questions, feel free to drop them here. :)
