Hey guys,
The following is based on some assumptions, so if I'm wrong at any point - let me know.
So, white scars bikes get a 3+ Jink Save, which is a type of cover.
If a bike opts to jink in ruins or any other kind of cover for that matter, do I get a 2+?
Also, one psychic power gives you shrouded, would that also give me a 2+?
Hopefully this will be a simple yes or no.

Fairly certain their trait improves their cover save from jinking. It does not improve other cover saves.

Yeah, I'd have thought not.
But does jinking in cover give you a cumulative save?

No. Why would it?
IT just gives you multiple cover saves.

From my understanding:
If you Jink while you are entitled to another cover save, such as from ruins, then you use the better of the two saves.
If you Jink while benefiting from a rule that improves existing cover saves, such as Shrouded, then your Jink save is improved as normal.

Thanks Octopoid.
That's a pretty reasonable interpretation. Makes sense that the rules would work that way.
