Trader Template in Tales of the Solar Patrol

WayneV · 02-17-2020, 02:43 AM

The Trader template gives scores for primary skills that are higher than the points allocated to them would appear to buy. For example, Diplomacy at (H) IQ+2 as 8 points, where the table on B170 indicates 12 points would be required. I'm guessing there's a modifier in there from somewhere, but can't spot it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Looks like you caught an errata.

Maybe, but there are some optional talents in there that might move the scores closer to the ones posted.

I think that must be an errata. You can see Merchant has the right point value, but every other skill in that heading is one too high.

That's a good point. Thanks.
