I have a question about the toughness mega edge.
Toughness 1 counts as wearing armour with soft 1 and complete 3. Does this mean the nova has scale 2 durability?

So for example would then toughness 3 give scale 4 durability or does it only grant scale 3 durability?

No, Toughness specifically notes that it only increases Scale after the first dot. Toughness 1 is Scale 1 armor. Toughness 2 is Scale 2, Toughness 3 is Scale 3 and so on.

Does the mega edge immunity work against radiation? If so would work against things like nanotech, prions. An expanded list of examples people have considered would be great.

Also something I was curious about is what other books for the aberrant line are in development or going to be released.

It may seam a stupid question at first but people is reading so different than me that I need to ask.

Terrestrial x Non-Terrestrial tag in Environmental Anima may be interpreted as:

A. Earth-Like x Non-Earth-Like
B. Land-based x Non-Land-Based

What is the right interpretation?

Is Quantum Leap (Aberrant p.195) pre-requisite a Typo?
t says Mega-Might 2, but the description also says what happens if you get this Edge and have Mega-Might 1.

Can a Vitakinetic with Psi 2 and Augendis 0 use "Reinforce" (Augendis 1), or "Stoicism" (Augendis 2)? If so, what's the Duration? Does the same logic apply to other "Mode dots time duration" Psi powers?

Also, what would be the armor value given by Reinforce? Does the same logic apply to other "value = Mode dots/2" Psi powers?

No, you need at least one dot in a Mode to access the rest of it.

Sorry to ask, but is there some kind of Scale chart for the Storypath system? I have a hard time picturing each level of scale for different things, especially Mega-Attributes in Aberrant.

There's a Scale example chart on p. 164 of Aberrant.

do Psiads suffer Psionic Dysfunction? if so, how? (I have Aexpansion, already read it and know Psiad rules, but couldn't find anything about this particular issue).

They technically can, but it’s very difficult for them as their Mode caps make it difficult and dots from any Mode in any Aptitude count towards preventing it. To gain dysfunction a psiad would have to deliberately keep all but one Mode at 1 dot, take the Strong Mode Edge in a primary Aptitude, and pump that one Mode up to 4 dots.

In practice, it just doesn’t happen for psiads and is an unexpected side effect of the artificial limitations of the Prometheus Process.

can Proxies buy the "Superior Trait" Powered Edge? Does it mean they can get to level 7 in Attributes?

[Jefepato]

The Growth quantum power (Aberrant p. 212) states that the effective Mega-Might gained from Growth doesn't stack with existing Mega-Might.

However, other powers that can grant Mega-Might (Density, Molecular Chameleon, Transformation etc.) don't seem to have this limitation. Is there a particular reason why Growth is different?

In Under Alien Skies, the description of Doyen throwing very large rocks very fast (p184) seems to suggest that the Level 6 powers can only boost one aspect of a power- like Size scale, or Speed Scale, but not both (the example used was of a Size 4 object at speed [3] or a Size 5 object at speed [2], but no option to increase both Size and Space Speed.)

This conflicts with earlier clarifications here of how Level 6 powers work. Which is correct?

Level 6 powers can increase multiple aspects simultaneously but only one step per aspect. Please report the discrepancy to the errata form.
