Actually it's a tale of two differing copies of the same book. My group was playing a practice session of AToW, learning how the combat system works, when we got flummoxed by conscious check rules on p.184. The dead tree copy says that you have to make a TN 7 check using your attribute link modifiers, while the PDF says it's a DC TN using the numerical values of your attributes. The books are disagreeing, we tried to look up which was published later but that information doesn't seem to be in the books. I believe the consensus is that we want to use which ever rules are more recent, but we don't which one is.
