PDF Errata

[Steve Jackson]

THANK YOU everyone for the comments and the detailed reading that obviously went into them. You caught some things!

Next time I will be sure to ask you to cite page numbers :)

Actual rules issues caught that were important enough that you should note them before continuing play (I hope you will throw away your first printouts when you get the new version), because many details have been corrected per comments in this thread):

(1) Of the missile spells, only Lightning blasts through walls. Max missile spell power is 3 ST.

(2) Halberds do 2 dice of damage, not 2d-1.

(3) Dazzle is not a thrown spell, despite what the Wiz rulebook says at one point.

(4) All right, a wizard’s staff will, at some time after the wizard dies, become harmless. But you don’t know how long that will be. One assumes it might vary but one does not know what makes it vary. Be careful.

(5) Option (r) is not a free move, but a shift. You have to stay engaged.

(6) Use of iron weapons and armor does not interfere ith a wizard's DX for all purposes - just for spellcasting.


Things pointed out that might have looked like errors but are not:

(1) The Elyntia map deliberately does not have the key on the map itself, and yes, there are some other little issues with that map :) GMs will read about it in the ITL book.

(2) Indeed, dwarves no longer have a racial bonus to hit people with hammers.

(3) Indeed, the pair of orcs in #177 of DT2 are badass.


Look for another batch of PDFs soon.

AND IN OTHER NEWS . . . those of you who are supporters should have an announcement in your mailbox about buying original Liz Danforth art. If you don’t see it, check our newest update on the Kickstarter page.

On page 1 of Melee in the playtester credits, I go by Edmund Hack, not Ed Hack.

(PS. Hi Steve! Go Owls!)

Melee, p 24, Flavius does not act on turn 6.
My apologies if this was already reported, I did not read all the replies on this thread

[Terquem]

I believe this will become the new "catch phrase" for 2019

"Flavius' Sixth"

[Chris Goodwin]

Wizard, p. 13, second paragraph. The example mentions 4 ST being put into a Magic Fist.

Edit: Already caught, sorry about that.

[Steve Jackson]

Dealt with, Edmund, at the 11.99th hour, but dealt with. Go Owls!

And that's it for corrections on that batch - as I type this, they are being transmitted to the printer. The second wave of PDFs will be up soon, maybe tonight.

I am told these emails are going out now. This wave is now open for ERRATA (not opinions, not "how I would have done it"); the previous wave is closed and all posts about those PDFs are too late.

ITLB p46: "At level 2 of the Staff spell, the staff gains [] stat, which starts at 0."

Quick read through the Monsters Section on ITL:

Entries for Giant Spiders and Giant Scorpions need to be swapped. Scorps are first, but reference Giant Spiders as though they are the previous entry, which is Gate Spiders.

Scolopendra - babies, according to the table, do no damage but cause "intense pain". Larger ones cause a small amount of poison damage. Intense pain is not defined in the table, but is buried three paragraphs down in the text. Recommend that this information be more closely tied to the table. Also, if babies cause "intense pain" wouldn't the larger ones cause that, in addition to damage? RECOMMENDATION: have rule that says "All bites cause intense pain, which cause bitten figure to lose 2 DX for an hour. In addition, the larger Scolopendra inflict damage, as well, as shown in the following table:" Or words to that effect.

I'll keep looking for other issues.

ITL, pg 112 Boomerang does 2-1 Dmg, pg 110 in the table of unusual Weapons it does 2d Dmg
