I noticed what might be two different advantages given by Glory, or the same advantage described twice but with slightly different effects given, and would like some clarification.
On page 105, we read the following...
Characters with 1,000 or more Glory derive measurable
benefits from their status: For each 1,000 Glory points, a character
may add 1 bonus point to any one trait, passion, statistic,
or skill during the Winter Phase of the game. Bonus points
might allow characters to bend or break certain game rules,
and can confer heroic statistics on characters with already
high abilities. This bending of the rules occurs in two ways.
First, statistics can be increased using bonus points,
even when already at the cultural maximum, and even after
the age of 35. Thus, you might see Extraordinary knights
with statistic values of 25 or even greater.
Second, bonus points allow any statistic (attribute scores,
traits, passions, or skills) to increase freely, without the character
having to allocate training points or make a successful
experience check roll (again, see ?Winter Phase?).
And on page 111, we read this...
The final step of the Winter Phase is to add any bonus
points gained from high Glory to the character?s attributes.
A bonus point is gained whenever your total Glory exceeds
1,000 points, and for every additional 1,000 points thereafter.
(For example, a knight?s Glory might increase from
1,800 to 3,010 in an extraordinary year, yielding 2 bonus
points for that year.)
Bonus points must be spent now, as soon as they become
available. Each point may be applied directly to an
attribute, trait, passion, skill, or combat skill, increasing
that statistic by 1 point.
Followed by the sentence that errata says we should strike out. So my question is--which is it? Do you gain a bonus point for each 1000 Glory points during the Winter Phase, or a bonus point for each time 1000 Glory points are reached? Or is it both?
