A buddy of mine said he still makes his FNP roll on a 4+ if you read as written. Is that correct? Under the red grail rule. It says "He passes on a 2+ rather than a 4+" making it sound as if he gets a FNP on a 4+ still rather than 5+.

Pretty sure the Bangels FAQ changed that.

FAQ only changes the first sentence. Corbulo gets to make his FNP rolls on a 2+ instead of a 4+. Everyone else uses 5+ as there is nothing that gives them FNP (4+).

Since he gets it on a 2+ anyway why does it matter if his "default" FNP is modified?

FnP from the chalice is 6" so if it was 2+FNP instead of 4+FNP, etc

Nobody is really being clear here, but the suggestion is that he would get a 2+ FNP himself, and everyone within the 6" would get a 4+ FNP. The reason this is being suggested is because the wording (he gets a 2+ from his grail instead of the normal 4+) so the Red Grail may specifically give a 4+ by default.

This isn't the way I take it though. The Red Grail doesn't say it provides a 4+. It just follows the rules of the normal challice, which gives FNP, with the added bonus to Corbulo himself.

Correct the BRB even asserts if another number were to be used it would be FNP(X)

It looks clear that, despite the mention of a 4+ for fnp which would be nice for BA, the FNP roll for corbulo is 2+. Makes him almost useful.

This Codex was written when FNP was at a 4+ ... this has changed when 6th Edition came out.

Yes, however if it had stated FNP (4+) it would have been FNP on a 4+. FNP can be modified when it is explicitly done.
