So if we change the parameters to
Tagus,
Parem, and
Selok does it get it 50?
That feels wrong to me.
My initial gut answer was 40 - 35 for the mission + 5 for the Treachery mission specialist meeting the Treachery requirement. My reasoning for that is that that's the only requirement that is being met by a mission specialist. Here are the relevant quotes from the cards:
Also, while in play, each of your mission specialists scores 5 points whenever they use their skill to meet a mission requirement.
...personnel who are using a hand weapon may use 2 Treachery as if it were 1 Diplomacy
Art of Diplomacy says your personnel may use 2 Treachery as if it were 1 Diplomacy. I suppose if you had a Treachery x2 mission specialist, the wording on AoD
would allow that mission specialist to score 5 points, but I'd also argue in this case that since it takes two of them to meet the mission requirement, neither of them are "using their skill to meet a mission requirement" - rather, they're combining their skills to meet a mission requirement.
Now having just typed and reread that, I realize it might be a pretty weak beer argument. Let's re-frame the question.
If 2 Treachery = 1 Diplomacy, then 1 Treachery = Diplomacy x1/2 (
Toral and
Ja'Rod, call your office!)
So the question becomes, if you have two mission specialists each with Diplomacy x1/2 meeting a Diplomacy requirement, are they "using their skill to meet a mission requirement"? My personal view is no, since neither mission specialist
can meet the requirement (the requirement is Diplomacy, not Diplomacy x1/2, which is what their skill is).
That said, this is a pretty fine distinction and I'd recommend throwing it to the Rules Committee for clarification.
