When you go from 2 to 3, does the two dice bonus replace the +6 to BN
that you get from Level 2 in the way that the +6 replaces the +3 from
Level 1? Or is the extra die bonus in addition to the +6 BN bonus?

Another option would be that you can only acquire Knacks during play
as part of a story arc or subplot worked out with the GM, in the fashion
that comic book superheroes often only gain new powers/abilities as the
result of something dramatic/life-changing happening to them.
