I think Burnout move example (p.64) is in collision with the rule.
In the example, EIC says “It is definitely Borderline and just roll 2d6”, But shouldn’t it be “Possible and roll 2d6+Bond”?
And “move faster than the speed of light” is in Cerebus’ Power Profile, not Zip’s.

The sample character sheets were made long after I finished the text for the game, so I didn’t think the game text to the sample character sheets – so whether Zip was trying to do something Borderline or Possible wasn’t known at the time when writing. He should have added his Bond with one of the characters he was saving though, you’re right about that, and it probably would’ve made more sense for it to be Possible rather than Borderline, but that’s less important.
Kyle Simons I thought a PC can use Push move if he try something new within Simple-Difficult-Borderline, and have to use Burnout move If it is beyond Borderline but not Impossible. Isn’t it?
They can use the Burnout move to do something at any level of their powers along the spectrum, but considering the ramifications of the Burnout move, it’s probably only going to get used for Borderline or Possible, definitely. With Burnout you get to add a Bond to the roll, with Push you don’t, but with Burnout you could end up in way worse condition than with a Push. However, if you’ve already got a bunch of Critical Conditions, then Burnout is basically the same as a Push, but you get to add your Bond, so it’s up to the player. To keep it simple though, it’s probably better for new players to just consider using Burnout for only beyond-Borderline stuff, I just kept Burnout open because I wanted it to be them doing whatever they wanted – it was basically the player choosing how they wanted to go out, which can be in as bright a blaze of glory as they want.
Kyle Simons I got it. Thanks!
No problem! Wish I could go in and fix the roll+Bond part now though, my illusions of a error-free book have shattered!
Kyle Simons Ah, one more thing! If a PC trying to save several persons at once, does he use bond only the highest?
That’d be an EIC call, but if it were me I’d probably let them use the highest as long as they describe their actions to match up with that call.
