RE: [DL] A Question About Edges...

["Joe Frankovitch" <slvrdrgn@larp.com>]

Yes.  Aptitude Points (The sum of the die types in Cognition, Knowledge,
and Smarts) can be spent on aptitudes only.  Points from Hindrances can
be spent on more aptitudes, or on edges.  And since the book
specifically states that you cannot take more than 10 points of
hindrances, you therefore can never have more than 10 points of edges to
start with (not counting the "Veteran O' the Weird West" edge.)

In my revised Deadlands, it says that only points from Hindrances can be
used to purchase Edges.  (Well to be more exact, it says aptitude points
can
be spent to raise aptitudes, and points from hindrances can be spent on
aptitudes or edges.)
