Ah, okay! That makes sense. I bought the new generic core rules with zero exposure to older editions (apart from knowing it somehow involved runes and grim anthropomorphic ducks). There are a marginal number of typo sort of errors in the book too...maybe an errata document should be released? As far as I could tell the Hero Point thing was the only rule inconsistency though...for awhile the holographic sidekick rule example threw me but that's because I glossed over the bit about default abilities for creatures.
