Training animals - did I found a bug?
"Once an animal has been trained, commanding it is treated as a Simple Success Test (see p. 118) except for unusual or stressful situations, in which case the trainer receives a +30 modifier on their Animal Handling Tests when convincing the animal to com- plete the trained action." - from 4th printing. It should be -30, yes? I'm asking because I translate EP Mainbook into Polish and I am currently on this page and it seems like there should be a minus instead of a plus... EDIT: Or it should be a plus... ???

I don't believe that this is
I don't believe that this is an error. If it's a non-stressful situation, there is literally no chance that your trained animal won't do what you say. (That's what a simple success test is.) If it is a stressful situation, there is a chance you might fail. But you're still very likely to succeed, since you've trained the animal. (Hence the +30 bonus to the check.)
