It was clarified for Archetype due to complexity issues, as Background/Path is simpler to deal with (most issues at that point are related to ASC/DSC).
There are some minor wording issues for Background/Path that may be needed in the next edition (Limited/Racial talents mostly) along the lines of:
Code:
"When presented with the choice of 'Any x talent' during Archetype, Background or Path, the talent cannot be Limited to you at that creation step and must be of your Tier or lower. Talents specifically named are not affected."
The last discussion petered out.
It is possible get a Tiered talent 3 times by T1.2 (Archetype-> Background -> Path) but only if the Background and Path are granting specific talents.
ie. Martial (Leadership I), Former Tribune (Leadership II), Centurion (Leadership III).
You can't *use* it until the relevant tier but there can be long term advantages to doing so.
