Tarot Differences

[TheCSpider]

While trying to figure out my options for creating a character I notice that (at the very least) the Body Card physical aspects vary at least minorly between the different tarots.  

For instance, for the Red Joker:

Assembly Line  & Lifeline:  0/0/0/3

Cross Roads, Ram's Head, and Waterways: -1/-1/-1/3

Are these differences intentional?

And while I'm asking about character creation.  Does a starting character only receive the Step 0 Talent of their starting Pursuit?  I think yes, but wanted to make sure.

Possibly, it might just be a mistake that they decided to hold onto for the sake of making the tarots more unique.

As for Pursuits, the first time a character takes up a Pursuit they get the Starting gear/ability, and the Step 0 Talent.

When you choose a new Pursuit, you only get the Step 0 Talent, not the Starting gear/ability. 

As long as they are pursuing that Pursuit, the character gets the "On the Pursuit" ability, but it is removed if they aren't.

Under quarantine and into the steam were designed during 1st ed ttb, and back then the stat line for the red joker was 0/0/0/3. The intent behind the new stats was to shift some of the character balance, so I might be inclined to use the new setup stats.

Ah thank you!

Yup, some of the stat card values vary between Tarots. This is intentional. Use the stat spreads for whatever Tarot spread you're using.

Correct.
