[PFS] A question about dares


Rules Questions

Sovereign Court

3 people marked this as FAQ candidate.

On pg 94 of the ACG, it lists 4 dares that are legal for PFS play, but I am confused by the wording. (Bold letting added by me)

ACG pg 94 wrote:
Dares are similar to deeds in that they grant a gunslinger or a swashbuckler extra abilities based on either grit or panache, but unlike deeds, dares become active when a member of these classes runs out of her respective pool, and become inactive until the character regains points of their respective pool. They grant the character a benefit and a new ability to regain or increase the ability to regain either grit or panache.

So when you run out of grit it become active. When does it become inactive? Is it a one time use? Or until you gain some grit?


Just like the rule says, when you regain a grit/panache point. It stays active until that happens.

That's not the way it is worded. It says it becomes inactive until the character regains points, NOT it becomes inactive when the character gains points. Big difference, hence my confusion


I don't have the relevant books to be able to answer that question, but to me it looks like "Until" was a typo, and that it should read "When".

The alternative is that they give a one-time bonus that only works once, and if you don't get your Grit or Panache up to at least 1 point from that 1-time bonus, then you don't get to try again until you've managed to get 1 grit/panache point from some other source.
This is a more literal interpretation of what's written, but it's so poorly worded that it seems hard to believe that's what they intended.


Charisma is rigth it is most likely a typo. As it is now it makes no sense and all the other words around it seem to indicates that it should work until you get a grit/panache point back.
Edit: i did FAQ it since you say it is for PFS where common sense is not always enough.
