I have a puzzlement. The rulebook says you can have max 6 Turf, but none of the Crew Sheets contain more than 4 Claims that are Turf.

So this rule seems redundant, which leads me to wonder… have I missed some other way that you can gain Turf, besides seizing the Claims on your Crew Sheet?

I’m reading Blades for the second time, in preparation for potentially running a campaign. I’ve noticed what looks to be a contradiction. Is it a contradiction, or am I missing something subtle?

P32 Resistance and Armor

“The GM also has the option to rule that your character completely avoids the consequence.”

P199 GM Bad Habits (Don’t roll for the same thing twice)

“Arlyn is forced over the edge and falls off the roof.

But she can roll to resist, right? Yes. She can resist the harm that results from

the fall. But she can’t “undo” being forced over the edge. That’s already been

determined by her action roll. Her resistance reduces the impact of the fall.

Instead of breaking her leg, she suffers lesser harm (maybe a sprained ankle) or

maybe the GM rules that she’s able to avoid the harm entirely by rolling into a

rough crash-landing. Either way, she’s still fallen off the roof.”

So… what’s going on here? Can Resistance nix a Consequence or not?
