Back on topic ...
Now that I've received the Deluxe rules I got my first question answered (it's implied from the example there). However, my second question remains:
p. 8, box on Rounding: 'Numbers in Renaissance are usually rounded up to the nearest whole number.'
p. 37, Critical Successes: 'A character with 70% in a skill would get a critical success on a roll of 7 or less – remember, always round to the nearest whole number).'
'Remember, always...' would seem to imply that the general rule applies. If so, it should read 'always round up'. (For Armour Points it's specifically mentioned that they are 'rounded down – an exception to the usual rule of rounding up', p.16.)
I see that the game designers are posting here. Could they perhaps confirm if nclarke is correct? Or if 'always round to' is an error for 'always round up to' on p. 37?
