I have seen two different answers on these forums, and want to know how this works.
To play around, I was trying to build an NPC tech using the player rules (because I want to be able to know how to make PCs), so I grabbed Fast Learner and Tech Empathy.
Fast Learner gives you a 10% discount (as is evidenced by the chart) on ALL skills, while Tech Empathy gives you a 10% discount on just Technician specializations.
Are these discounts additive...Rank | | Normal Cost | | Fast Learner | | Fast Learner & Tech Empathy |
1 | 30 | 27 | 24 |
or multiplicative?Rank | | Normal Cost | | Fast Learner | | Fast Learner & Tech Empathy |
1 | 30 | 27 | 25 |
Apparently there was also some discrepancy between the cost reduction for Fast Learner being 20% or 10%. In the copy of the PDF I have seen, both text and chart are 10% so I am presuming that is what ended up being correct.
