Consider this more of me just asking a question than actual errata stuff.
Does this "quality" have a buy-in cost? If the rule is simply "Infected can buy any Infected power regardless of type, but if it's not one they'd normally get, they must roll for a random negative quality, but get the power at a discount" that sounds like an option rule, not a single quality, right?
One of the "Infected Archetypes" later in the book has "Wildcard Chimera, Berserk, Scales" listed under Qualities. So help me understand how this works...
Wildcard Chimera is a quality; you pick a power and roll on the table for a discount and a connected negative quality. The result is the Karma cost for Wildcard Chimera as a positive quality. This would let you also ignore the period of time you must wait to buy an optional power (2 months, is it?). Because it's a quality, you can only buy it once.
That sound right? I'm having a bit of trouble understanding it. If I'm right, then dang. I'd pay 9 Karma to play a Ghoul with Regeneration. Rolling a 7 on 2d6 is the most likely outcome I believe, due to how averages work, so I'm expecting to end up with bioluminescence... Glowing regenerating ghoul.
