I had a question about the bonus Emblems, Slots, and Resolve bonus that some of the species get. If I pick an orb-weaver to play as, does that mean I start with 5 Emblems, 5 Slots, and 6 Resolve?
That is correct, 2 emblems and slots, and 3 resolve by default. Plus 3 to each from Orb Weaver!
Sometimes your special item will also give you slots, emblems, and resolve too
