Cognition Wafer and Jack of all Trades

[Cpt Ric]

Does the Cognition Wafer only affect the character's innate skill(s)? I'm thinking so but just wanted to check since I could see it working either way, given that Jack of all Trades isn't really a skill. I have Euphasie Fleta in my crew, she is . If I were to attack a Cognition Wafer to her, when she generates the two skill chits, is one now Expert? Thanks!!

Cognition Wafer doesn't interact with Euphrasie's special ability.

As to how Cognition Wafer works, as we have concluded the card has too much ambiguity, we are trying to reword it to bulletproof clarity, but there are a variety of scenarios with the card, not that it's the only effect that leads to questions of changing skill levels, but it's the most common way.

We have a plan on releasing various clarifications, errata, rules updates. I know that doesn't help and that it's easy for this to slide, but I'm hesitant to answer how we would like CW to work off the top of my head because it has been complicated trying to resolve the ambiguity and have a rewording best match designer intent.

Btw, JoaT is a skill, it just has several special rules associated with it. A crew with trained JoaT can have JoaT upgraded to expert through CW.

Excellent. I figured that would be the answer. I look forward to seeing the new errata. The V2 rule book is better too. It would be great if some day you can have the rule book formatted in a more printer friendly format. The large square pages are cool, until you try to print them! And I'm a guy who likes to play the game without using a computer. I work on computers all day and when I play a game I like to get away from them.

Thanks much!
