Slave does not grant a "bonus" I think is the key term. It grants two penalties.
I believe, although it's not totally clear, Swinefeld hits on another part of it. YVWC is meant to work on figures granting SA to other figures, not on extending a range of a SA on a figure itself. We can always add a line to the glossary/FAQ for clarity if its needed, as I could see this as potentially confusing (like could a Thud Bug be considered a SA granting a bonus and inadvertently change the range from 6 to unlimited?). It's not supposed to, but we might need a sentence or two to make it clear. I'll wait for Scott or Nickname to chime in on that part of it.
Yeah, Jake brought up the "bonus" part, and we thought that might be the "out". -2 is obviously not a bonus, but sometimes savage is (what if you had Celeste Morne on your squad?)
So it just gets sticky.
And it's a good point about granting a special ability vs just having a special ability. I think perhaps an extra sentence in the glossary for the sake of clarification would not hurt.
