Default Pre-Gen Character Card Errors

I've noticed a couple of apparent errors on the pre-gen character cards.

It is possible these are intentional modifications to the normal weapon stats, but if not, a warning to new players using them:

SIGRUN has a Halberd listed as 2d-1 damage. Halberds do 2d in the weapon table.

SIROCCO has ST9/DX15, but wears cloth armor. She does not have the proper adjDX 14 listed.

MAD OLLY has a saber listing 1d+1 damage. Sabers are listed as doing 2d-2 damage in the weapon table.

MEG also has a saber listing 1d+1 damage.

Yea, I noticed some of these too. I think I will play them as they are, as if the errors represent something unique to the characters (better or worse than normal quality equipment for the most part) and make it clear to new players that the pre-generated cards should not be used as examples of how to design a starting character.

I will throw away cards with errors. i just can't stand to have something so pointlessly wrong on what is supposed to be a play aid.

You could make corrections in the PDFs and print the out with the corrections though.

Conducting an experiment. Fixed the four character cards with a fine point permanent Sharpie. See if they won't smear tomorrow.

That works for me, too. However, I would still like a complete list of errata, just for reference, especially since I'm still learning the system and might overlook mathematical errors unless they are pointed out.
