Are Advances for Profiles from Careers Cumulative or Not?
No, some confusion exists. Once you have purchased a +10 advance for a particular characteristic, you may not purchase it again. Therefore, you can not purchase five +10 bonuses to Weapons Skill and have a +50 bonus. If one already has a +10 advance, later advances must be higher to increase the advance for that characteristic. Therefore purchasing a +20 advance for a characteristic that already has a +10 advance, will only increase the characteristic +10 since +10 of the +20 has already been purchased and factored into the advance. In other words, an advance of +20, +30, and +40 are not stacked on top of a +10 bonus, but replace that advance instead.
