Couple questions with the latest V3F rules:
Expertise is no longer a thing, so characters can now advance to level 3 in any action without any crew upgrade — right? They just need the crew upgrade Mastery (a 2pt upgrade) to advance to level 4.
The Fine Lighting Hook is listed as on the item descriptions (page 29) as a Whisper Item but it’s not on the Whisper’s character sheet. Should the Whisper have access to this or not?
.
I have done thus with the lightening hook: it’s just too cool an item to not mention, but it’s not something Whispers start with or have easy access to. I’ve made players roll to acquire one – the downtime action for that would be apt, and I made the characters come up with a way they’d have access to one (in that case, just a consort-type bit of work).
I can confirm the first is accurate. Arcy Keel, the ex-leviathan hunter cutter has command 3!
1. Yes.
2. That’s a typo. Whispers don’t have that item by default.
Thanks for the confirmation!
