So, a couple of questions about Pathfinder and Stable Footing. First off, Pathfinder's card text:

Bloo Milk wrote:
Allies are not slowed by difficult terrain within 6 squares of this character


And the glossary text:

Bloo Milk wrote:
Moving into difficult terrain within 6 squares of a character with this special ability does not cost allies extra movement.


So, from the card text, it looks like a character can't use it's own Pathfinder ability, but the glossary text says nothing of 'Allies,' or even 'Characters in your squad.' I'm assuming in cases like this, you would combine the card text with the glossary text (and glossary takes precedence when they conflict) and say that it only works on allies. Is this correct?

Also, I didn't realize until doing a little digging, that Pathfinder is NOT the equivalent of handing out Stable Footing - apparently Pathfinder only works for Difficult Terrain. Is this correct? (And if so, is there anyone who does not find that extremely annoying?)

I think everyone finds that annoying. Subtle difference just to mess with you.

Not sure if Pathfinder works for yourself or not.

4 of the 6 pieces with Pathfinder have Stable Footing anyway. Neo-Crusader Scout and Rebel Scout on TaunTaun are the only ones who don't.

Which is funny, because if Pathfinder doesn't work for you, I would think that of all things the massive kangaroo would have more success stepping over harsh terrain than a commando.

Wow. Thanks kamikaze. I should pay attention to more than just the first 4 words of the glossary definition.
