OK so I have just finished reading the new PDF primer and it is great. Some very clear explanations of concepts of Untold that some people may find difficult.
I have just been reading through it again and the section on boosting seems to omit some information I read on the forums about boosting.
The text below was taken from another thread.
So there are several types of rolls that can be boosted:
Initiative Roll
Overcome Roll
Contested Roll
Check Roll
These rolls can't be boosted:
Attack Roll
Defense Roll
Boost can be applied to the damage Magnitude to overpower an opponent's Vitality.
Boost cannot be added to Vitality to lessen damage.
Now whilst the PDF primer talks of boosting power cards, naturally and initiative in the initiative section. I don't think it covers all of the above. In the overcome section for example it doesn't mention an overcome van be boosted.
So my question is this. Is the list above still valid or does the PDF primer supersede that and that is correct, or should the PDF primer be revised to include these examples above if they are still valid?

What's a High Bred's favorite soft drink? 7 UP, but only if there's room in the Swap Buffer
I'm betting that's just all the text from the post (including my sig) since that was the post I made when I finally got boosting sorted out. =)
Yes looks like my cutting and pasting on the iPad left some undesirable text in there ;-) sorry. I pretty much use the iPad for everything these days if I can :-)
Glad to see another iPad user on the forums, LE. :) I wonder how many others are out there on the site?
Not sure but I know that we have a few iPhone users.
I love my iPad, use it so much and even for gaming if I can. Best gadget I have bought to date!
Coolness...you should also enjoy the new QRC App, should you decide to get it. ;)
Oh, and you should now have your UP! Thanks again!
Thanks for the UP. So are you able to add this tot he PDF or will it screw everything up if you do layout wise?
Oh yes I will get getting that when it comes out :-)
Yea, we'll add it and one other thing as well. It should not be that big of a deal. ;)
Glad to hear it re: the app! :D
iPad users unite!!! man, that QRC app is gonna look GREAT on this iPad!!
Dude, Hall, you have an iPad?!?! That's awesome!
Those things are the devil. I mean, seriously, the Matrix has won...
Out of curiosity, apart from the boosting info that needed to be added to the primer what was the one other thing ?
Actually, I double-checked, and we'd already added it - so nothing! :P
Always nice to discover you have done something when you think you still have it to do :-)
I use both my I-pad and Lap top.

Looks like we missed that in the sweep and add that bit to the Primer! Lord Entropy, remind me on Monday to give you +20 UP for that.
Also, is it just me, or do you have Lumberklik's sig???
