  1. The way I read the Crew Upgrade on p39 is no. You must have the crew upgrade to be able to train in downtime.

    Prowess, Resolve, or Insight Training: If you have the appropriate training upgrade, you can choose to train that attribute during downtime.

  2. Yeah, but what I don’t get is that the section only refers to training the attribute. On page 29, the Train action says, Mark 1 XP for an attribute or your playbook. Since there is no crew upgrade for unlocking Playbook training, it seems like PCs should be able to use the Train action for Playbook XP, without any upgrades.

    I ended up letting my players do it tonight, and two of them did. I don’t think it will break the game, but I’d like to know for future sessions.

  3. Ah, good catch. That’s an oversight on my part regarding the crew sheets. There should be a “Personal” training upgrade listed, which unlocks playbook xp in downtime.
