Sorry if this is beating a dead horse, but as I was making a character the
other night I did notice something odd.
Under the description of Aura Reading it does say it can be used as a
complimentary skill for assensing. No problem, not arguing the point, this
has been settled. Personal opinions aside.
However, I did notice one thing. It IS an active skill. Flat out as per
the book. Look at the archetypes. All that have Aura Reading have it in
the Active column. Also, the skill description is located...guess where,
yup in the active skill descriptions.
Now, this is in no way trying to justify anything, but to me the
rules/suggestions on this skill seem contradictory as per straight BTB (i.e.
disregarding house rules).
Can anyone help explain this By The Book? I have already read house rules,
but my GM prefers to at least attempt canon rules first. We are all a
little confused by this one.
Also, are there any other instances that this occurs with other
skills/rules? I haven't run in so long I can't remember anything.
