Last Days: Zombie Apocalypse Short Controlled Bursts question
« on: August 03, 2018, 05:11:01 PM »
I know there is a Facebook group, but I avoid Facebook as much as possible.

When creating a Leader, if you pick The Everyday Hero, one of the skills they have available is Academic. However, I cannot find where Academic is defined, does anyone know?

The closest I can find is the Academic Skills table on page 89. Do I replace Academic with one of those skills? Anyone know?

Haven't really read the rules yet but the facebook group is probably your best bet as the author posts there.

From the Facebook page, not posted by Ash but seems to explain the confusion.

"Yeah, I was confused... "Academic", "Firearms", "Athletic", others, I was flipping through the book frantically trying to figure out what that meant. Then I realized it was a CATEGORY of skills, not the skill itself.
Way better idea, though slightly confusingly presented."

Hope this helps
There is also a FAQ posted ,does not cover this question, but does cover some queries.

The FAQ actually does cover this specific question as it did come up a lot...

Hope that helps!

Thanks for confirming that for me. Exactly the answer I was looking for. Is the FAQ available outside of Facebook?

Follow-up question. When it says 'Firearms' skill, I'm assuming they mean the Shooting skills table?

Yes. Firearms Skill = Shooting Skills table.

Oh and I think the Errata/FAQ will be available on Osprey website when its been "spruced up a bit" according to Ash.

Great, thanks for answering.

Got another question though  ;)

Where is the skill "Short Controlled Bursts" defined?

Only in the Errata/FAQ or on Facebook. Here it is cut from the Errata.

"SHORT CONTROLLED BURSTS: This Character’s judicious use of Ammunition and counting their shots means they run out of ammo less frequently at inopportune times. Subtract -1 from the Dice Roll for all Ammo tests this Character makes."
