Icon Theme: Theme Benefit correction

[Zenar79]

In the Starfinder Core Rulebook, on pg. 31 the Icon Theme has the Theme Knowledge [1st] benefit that is described: "Choose a Profession skill. When attempting a Profession or Culture check to recall knowledge about other icons of your profession or details about your profession's cultural aspects, increase the DC by 5."

All other themes have their Theme Knowledge [1st] benefit DC reduced by 5 instead of increased by 5, so this is probably a printing error.

I saw this too, and also believe its an error.

But if it is not an error, I wonder if its flavored such that you are so self-obsessed as an Icon that you can't be bothered to learn about your peers, thus increasing DC by 5.

For those just reading through the new book, here is the link to the FAQ that corrects the deficiency.

As most probably expected, the word increase should be reduce.

That was my rational for what at first I thought had to be an error.
