Hi, sorry if this was brought up elsewhere, but I’m having trouble understanding “The Future” element of the the Futurist playbook. Marking one off every time you fail a roll seems like it has the potential to retire the character REALLY quick given a bad run of rolls, or am I misunderstanding things? The expanded discussion of the playbook DOES describe the futurist as a brief-lived character, but it attributes it to the emotion spike thing, which, given that they can only miss 6 rolls before they risk becoming gone as a character, seems like the lesser risk? It also seems like it would make it difficult to ever actually to get to the 5+ advancements, given that the futurist effectively (even if not technically) doesn’t have the same access to getting xp for failing a move that other playbooks do.
