Last sentence of the Awareness talent on page 130. 'Possess' needs to be 'possesses'.

"Action test" (most often just "test") means all tests.

Certain kinds of tests that are subsets of Action tests. For example: Effect tests, Damage tests, Initiative tests, Attack tests.

If a rule refers to a particular type of test, then it only applies to that test, and not to any tests that may result. So a rule that gives a bonus to a Spellcasting test would not give a bonus to the spell's subsequent Effect test. (Outside of the normal rules for extra successes doing whatever they might do.)

So in the case of Battle Bellow, allies gain a bonus on the "to-hit" roll ("Attack test"), but the talent doesn't directly grant a bonus to damage (because the bonus to attack already provides a greater chance of extra damage).

Another question would be when the Skyraider gets the Battle Shout off does that apply to the Resist Taunt test the wizard can make if he has the talent. Or does he at least get to make the resist roll without the penalty.

Baravakar, if he got such a reroll to achieve 3 successes, than its just his luck and good for him. But after those first 2 rounds it gets worse as "Each use against the same opponent in a given encounter increases the Difficulty Number by 5". So no its not unbalancing.

Resist Taunt/Steel Thought/Avoid blow/Riposte and so on, are all used before any penalty is taken from the "attack" that they can prevent.

Thought I'd put this here as it may become a FAQ. Some spells such as Astral Shield have mechanics that relate to Astral Sensing. For Astral Shield anyone who has been sensed can be added as a target of the spell for a small difficulty increase (assuming they're in range of course.)

My question is: what's the timing? Do you need to sense them immediately before casting the spell? A few minutes before? Last week? When you first met?
