Cancellation of Focused and Distracted

[ryo0909]

Focus and Distracted now cancel each other out in Errata, but when you get Distracted+1 with Focus+2, does it behave as Focus+1, or does it lose Focus?

My initial impression is that it's the former, but I'm not sure.

Yes.  Distracted +1 will cancel Focus +1.  If one condition is higher it just lowers the condition incrementally as you describe.

Thank you. As far as I can tell, the term "cancel" for condition only appears in the following rules. Pg.29 in PDF rule book.

“A model can only have one instance of each Conditions at a time. If a Condition is cancelled by another Condition, both Conditions are immediately removed from the model in question.”

From a non-native English speaker's point of view, the word remove, like end, seems to eliminate the condition itself, regardless of the value.

This is why I was wondering, am I still correct in lowering the value?

You're looking at the old rules. The errata replaced that text.

Ohh. I missed out it. Thanks!
