Title: ACUTE HEARING TALENT
Post by: Finwe on July 16, 2019, 10:08:18 AM

I have a doubt about "Acute hearing" talent, which says "allow you to perceive ANY sounds in open areas (...) You receive +10 to your Awareness categories when dealing with these sounds."
The question is if the character listens to ALL kinds of noises, even those barely noticeable, the bonus of +10 seems scarce.

Really it should read more like: Acute hearing that grants a +10 modifier to all awareness rolls involving hearing. The wording is weird and doesn't need to be.

If there is a clearly stated game mechanic (e.g. +10 Awareness), that should trump color text.
