In the Companion, is Intimidating Bellow (p. 83) a novice skill?

'Knacks as skill' are based on existing skills.

Intimidating Bellow is a knack of Battle Bellow which, in the Player's Guide, is a Jouneyman skill.

That makes sense, but the knacks that can be used as skills seem to have the tier of the skill in parentheses. This one didn't. That seems to be errata.

Hi, just one quick thing regarding page numbering:
I find it helpful if typing in "30" brings me to content page 30.
Not to difficult to realise and it speeds up. paper digital parallel use.

If you're talking about the option to jump to a particular page in the PDF, unfortunately not every PDF reader handles it the same way.

For example, the PDF of the Gamemaster's Guide has the cover and color plates labeled with the Roman Numerals I through X. If you use Acrobat Reader and enter a page number to go to, the number you enter matches the page number. But some PDF readers don't recognize the different numbering system, and will count from the cover as Page "1" which leads to a mismatch between the page number you enter and the page it jumps to.

Last I checked, the version of the Players' Guide in the store has the pages numbered incorrectly for Acrobat.

There are several knacks with no 'Skill Use' section. Should all of these be 'Skill Use: No'? Some of them are obviously no, but others I could see as a skill.

Tail Weapon (p. 100)
Flare (p. 101)
Point-Blank Shot (p. 101)
Precise Shot (p. 102)
Claw Riposte (p. 103)
Returning (p. 114)

Also Arcane Edge (p. 105) has a sentence repeated: 'Using this knack is a Simple action if the adept used Wizardry to attempt weaving threads this round.'

I am absolutely willing to use the reader of your choice as long as it works. Thanks for taking care!

I use Adobe Acrobat Reader on Windows and Android, and Document Viewer on Linux.

Hi, apologies if this is covered elsewhere - couldn't seem to find it.

Read thru the new Companion, and wondered if there is an extra success mechanic for spell casting talent knacks. For example, Elementalists can learn Acid Splash (p105), Fortify Armor (p107), and so forth. The normal process for extra spellcasting successes is to look at the spell description - looked like any extra success text for the spellcasting knacks wasn't included in the Companion. Will likely wing it when it comes up in game, but wondered if there was any official guidance.

Tks

There is no extra success advantage for those knacks, it was intended. Just a bit to do for mage when weaving threads.
