The Age 1 rulebook (p12) states: Within each Life Domain there are categories of traits each
with their own rules and restrictions:
Now, I know humanoid, fey, reptilia, biest, and insekt are the domains of life. But (taking humanoid as ongoing example here), next is said that 'Humanoids have Evolutionary Branches within three
categories, Genetic Mutation, Environmental Adaptation
and Knowledge and Science.'
Does this mean that the Evolutionary Branch 'Genetic Mutation' is a branch of life, or is 'Albinism' (a branch within Genetic Mutation) the branch of life? This is mostly in regard to stacking, assuming I can find 2 different abilities that give me.. for example Abundant Resources 1, both of these are in Genetic Mutation (well, they aren't, but assume they are), yet they are in separate sub-branches. Would these then stack with one another?
Same with the Fey, they are divided in Light, Twilight, and Dark. Are these the branches of life for Fey, or is the Fire Sphere within the Twilight Path an example of a branch of life? As another example, the traits Nature's Strength (Primal, +2Str) and Strength Through Fire (Fire, +2Str, -1Will) should -not- stack with one another, correct?
The branches of life are often grouped per category, for humanoids from r example these categories are Genetic Mutation, Environmental Adaption and Knowledge and Science. The subheaders under these categories are the branches of life. I.e. Dwarfism is a Branch of Life in the Genetic Mutation "tree". Similarly for fey, the Corruption Sphere is a Branch of Life on the Path of Darkness "tree".
