Hi,
"&" and "and" have the same meaning here.

"&" is mostly used when it applies to different effects such as "takes a {XXX} card & {-2 durability pips}" where "and" usually applies for the same effet "take card XXX and card YYY".

My point of view is a weak argument, but if your example is about a climb action , I think the best interpretation is :
3) "Each involved character takes a {XXX} card and each involved character takes {-2 pips} (applied only to their own Inventory)."
Because each character who has failed climbing should suffer the consequences of the fall.

My instinct is to interpret it the same way you do, but that interpretation conflicts with the rulebook's description (page 17), which says that "pip damage" is applied across the affected players, distributed as the players like. The example given on page 17 also conflicts with this interpretation, but that example only includes pip damage, and not the phrase "each player takes ... AND {pip damage}".

A french player asked the same question recently and the author answer him : here

Hi everyone,

The third, (A0227), in case of failure Each participant draw a card and & -2.
Because the proposal is starting with "each participant..." should we:
1> Apply to each participant the loss of 2 resistance points in their own inventory.
2> Is the loss globally only 2 and is it - as in the previous example - distributed among all the objects of the participants.
3> Each participant "generates" a loss of 2 points of resistance which is to be distributed among all the inventories of the participants as they wish (2 participants, 4 pts, 3 participants 6, etc ..)?

1> Apply to each participant the loss of 2 resistance points in their own inventory.

When the loss of resistance is not specifically associated with the active player or each participant or random participant, it is distributed among the participants freely. In the opposite case, it is the target(s) concerned who applies it.

For the effect "[resistance -2] and/& each participant", you can freely distribute the loss between the participants and then the rest of effect is applied to each participant.

The fourth card (A0236) present a similar concern - but still different - that will also challenge you now that we saw the first three cards. Here is the text of the card concerned:

Spoiler léger

× () If your reveal a car at the Result step of this action, you fall in your turn: draw a card & -1
Translator message: I translated this text from french. It is certainly different from the text in your english version of the game. Feel free to correct me and I'll edit this message.

What happens if there are more people involved in the action and a card appears?

1> Each participant takes a card AND reduces the resistance of one of his objects?
2> Only the active player?
3> One of the participants, not especialy the active player, takes a card, and the group assume the loss of 1 ?
4> The loss of 1 is multiplicated by the number of participants and assumed by the whole group.

In this card "The misfortune of some" the target is effectively not clearly identified "you reveal" / "you fall in your turn": the consequence should concern only the active player.
