Wizard page 17
The text reads: "An illusion has the exact
characteristics of the thing it represents; an illusionary wolf has ST 10 and
DX 14 just like a real one. It can be killed just like a real wolf, too: if it
takes 9 hits, it’s unconscious, and a 10th hit kills it."

It should go unconscious on the 10th hit, and die on the 11th.

Wizard: Death Spell: This spell does damage to both the wizard and the subject equal to the lower amount of strength. This will reduce the figure with the lower strength to ST 0. This is not death, it is unconsciousness. If it is supposed to kill, then it should do the lower ST+1.

TFT: Death Spell p. 30: same

The road from Dranning to Canigli on the poster map, and the road to Bordre, seem to be missing major sections.

On the back cover of Melee, it's peculiar to use title caps for the credit for the "Interior Illustrations".

On the back cover of Melee, back cover, the listed rulebook dimensions read: 12" 22.5"
- seems to be missing an 'x' between the measurements.

There's no key on the Elyntia map (for the symbols of the various types of settlements). Nor is there a scale.

To be very clear: this thread is for pointing out MISTAKES in the PDFs.

"I would have written that differently" is not a mistake.
"I dislike your comma usage" is not a mistake.
"I think you need to add some words to explain a concept more clearly" is not a mistake.
"I hate this rule and think it ruins the game" is not a mistake.

"I think you've miscalculated this" is possibly a mistake and is worth reporting.
"I found a typo in this table" is almost certainly a mistake and is worth reporting.
"I think there is a missing/extraneous character here" is possibly a mistake and is worth reporting.
"I think you have misspelled 'Jackson' on the cover" is possibly a mistake and is worth reporting.

Phil and I have deleted several messages that were not reporting errors but differences in judgment about how to write the rules or what rules needed to be elaborated on. Please confine your reports to actual errors that you think you have found in the files.

Tridents are referenced on page 12 of Melee but do not appear on the weapons table.

On page 21 of Melee the paragraph about dropped weapons should include something like: d) a figure armed with anything but a dagger or main gauche attacks HTH, or e) a figure defends against HTH and rolls a 1 though 4.

Dwarves no longer get +1 damage with hammers and axes. Is this a design decision or an omission?

On page 7 of Melee:
Quote:
(g) STAND UP. Rise from prone, kneeling, or knocked-down position
at the end of the combat phase, or crawl 2 hexes; take no other action. A
figure must take a turn to stand up before attacking, running, etc.
These sentences are unclear and logically incomplete enough to be typos:

* The description of the STAND UP option includes an option to NOT stand up but instead crawl two hexes (?) - also it's not clear if the option allows moving two hexes during movement, or do you get a decision to move two hexes instead of standing up, at the end of the turn?

* The second sentence seems to be missing an adjective such as "non-standing" between the word "A" and "figure"?

On page 8 of Melee, there seems to be essentially a duplicate sentence:
Quote:
Normally, only one fgure occupies a hex; a fgure may never move
through a standing or kneeling fgure.

A fgure may move into another fgure’s hex for HTH combat and
stop. Normally, only one fgure occupies a hex. You may not move
through a standing or kneeling fgure, friend or foe.
* Also, at this point reading this draft of basic Melee for the first time, I was slightly confused because the sentence between those two nearly-identical sentences seems to contradict the HTH Option (o) on page 7, which says you can try to enter HTH on your action, not during movement as mentioned here. Later though under the HTH rules on page 18 it becomes clear it depends whether the initiator started the turn Engaged or not.

(Note the word "figure" always cuts & pastes without the "i" for some reason - go figure.)


COSMETIC:
On page 7 of Melee, there is extra wide space between option (q) and its title PICK UP DROPPED WEAPON, unlike option (p) above it. (Looks like a side-effect of column justification.)

On page 8 of Melee, same situation as above between options (u) and (v).

Melee, pg. 14, weapon table: Halberd damage 2d-1 seems like a likely mistake. Did you intentionally mean to lower the damage of the halberd by 1, compared to almost all printings of Melee/AM/ITL? (If so, did you mean to lower poleaxe damage also, because it's still 2d+2.)

Did you mean to change the DX threshold for reloading a heavy crossbow in 2 turns from 16 down to 14? (Just checking - the table says 14 now.)

Melee pg 15: Main Gauche should probably also say "(to front)" like the shields do, so no one wonders if it parries from all directions.

Picking on Skarg for a minute:

These are not errata.

Don't use this thread to talk about layout unless it actually causes errors. "I don't think this looks as good as it could" isn't something we need reported in this thread.
