Hi
For my own sanity, I have been saving up the piecemeal Errata posts over the past week or so with a
view to tackling things slightly more efficiently. I haven't updated the files online yet, as some
of these still require discussion. Anything marked with an asterisk is not yet resolved:
BOOK 2:
*(er) 142, 263: [tp: the red and white passes must be collectable even if you don't have a backpack.
To this end, they could be footnoted as being non-items, like the forged papers (s.327), or they
could just be Special Items.]
BOOK 13:
*(er) The Story So Far: Some factions which comprised this huge army -> Some factions which composed
this huge army [tp: also affects other GM books]
BOOK 14:
*(er) 72: Liganim (with Ziranakag) -> Ligan (with Ziranakag) [jc: Ligan (sg.), Liganim (pl. and
adj.)? Liga means small, so Ligan could be 'The one who is small (in magic)'... If yes, check
sections 134 and 241: first 'Liganim' (adj.), second 'Ligan' (sg.), section 176 and section 328
(x2). Also in book 12, sections 46, 70, 73, 116, 120, 154 ('particular Ligan'), 160 (x4), 184 (name
of the Ligan), 246, 320 and 348 (x3)]
*(er) 235: the huge cubes of marble that once comprised this section of Kaag's curtain-wall -> the
huge cubes of marble that once composed this section of Kaag's curtain-wall [tp]
FIXED (er) 86: Grand Huntmastery and Grand Nexus [jc: put 'and' in
italic]
FIXED (er) 208: add 3 ENDURANCE points to your current score. -> restore 3 ENDURANCE points. [jc:
maybe better (adding to current score implies adding above maximum value)]
REJECTED (er) 107: If you have reached the rank of Kai Grand Guardian in the Discipline of Grand
Huntmastery, -> If you have reached the rank of Kai Grand Guardian, [jc: You are already using Grand
Huntmastery] [so: The way the text is written, this is not an error; whether or not you are already
using the Discipline, the focus is on whether you have reached the Level of Kai Mastery.]
BOOK 15:
FIXED (er) 59: If you have reached the rank of Sun Knight add 2. -> If you have reached the rank of
Sun Knight, add 2. [jc]
BOOK 16:
REJECTED (er) 236: If the weapon you are wielding is a Bow or a Quarterstaff, -> If the weapons you
are wielding are ONLY a Bow or a Quarterstaff, [jc: Any other weapon will be current lead.] [so: I
can't see that this is necessary; it is reasonable to assume that a player will understand what is
meant here.]
BOOK 17:
FIXED (er) 53, 142, 230, 308: [James Tan: If it hasn't been noted already, for Book 17, section 308,
it would make sense for Demonlord Tagazin to still be immune to all psychic attacks except for Kai
Surge and Kai Blast.] [so: Added "This being is immune to all forms of psychic attack, except
Kai-surge and Kai-blast.", copied from Section 341, to these sections.]
REJECTED (ft) 53, 230: [jc: If you manage to kill Tagazin outright, you cannot obtain the Power
Spike, and therefore you cannot defeat Ixiataaga. Is it possible that your Weapon improved by Dessi
Stone is effective against him? [tp: I think that this is as intended. A bit cruel -- if you're a
little too lucky, without the Sommerswerd's boost, then you're dead -- but intentional. I'm quite
sure it's intended that your Dessi-stoned weapon is not effective against the Deathlord (though in
that case, what they expected you to do to him is an interesting question!)]
REJECTED (ft) 75: [jc: If you do not possess the Sommerswerd, than the weapon improved with Dessi
Stone is also destroyed? This would make trouble with fighting Tagazin again in sections 45, 53,
142, 216, 230 and 308. Maybe there should be footnoted, that Dessi Stone make your weapon effective
against Tagazin. For example, in section 220: "With the Dessi Stone fitted into its hilt, your
Weapon now inflicts double ENDURANCE point losses against an undead OR IMMORTAL opponent in combat."
] [tp: No, I'm quite sure that this, too, is as intended. It's a bit peculiar that only this one
instance causes your weapon to be destroyed, out of all the cases where you CAN fight Tagazin with
any old weapon -- but there's a pattern there, too; in every instance where you can fight Tagazin
(without needing the Sommerswerd), he's already been hurt. Losing the Dessi-stoned weapon against
Tagazin is fine, because you don't need it any more anyway -- from here on out there's no more
undead to fight, only Plane of Darkness creatures, Tagazin, and Ixiataaga himself. The Dessi stone
isn't meant to help against any of these, only against Ixiataaga's undead minions. And even then,
you can use any old weapon to fight the undead; indeed you have to if you have the Sommerswerd, as
you're forbidden to use it for much of the quest! You just don't get the Dessi stone's double-EP
bonus; I figure the difference can be imagined as 'magic weapons can destroy their unlife-force'
versus 'you have to completely hack them to pieces'.]
BOOK 18:
FIXED (ne) 26: (master thief):: -> (master thief): [tp] [so: Also
fixed in 02tfc:99; 8:106; and 18:216]
BOOK 27:
*(er) 80, 112, 136, 206, 318: tiger's head emblem -> tiger's-head emblem [tp] [so: "tiger's head
<noun>" is not hyphenated anywhere in the book.]
THE MAGNAMUND COMPANION:
FIXED (er) Page 86: You have mastered only five of the ten spells that the Magicians‘ Guild call the
‘Brotherhood Spells’. [tp: call -> calls]
FIXED (ft) Page 18: Capital: Helmstorm -> Capital: Vadera [tp] [jc: During the Darkdawn War,
Lencians lost their northern territories (and their capital - Gamir) to the Drakkarim (after MS
2591). Then the capital could be Helmstorm - well protected city-port. After the demise of the
Darklords and the beginning of the crusades (MS 5070?), Vadera could become just the royal seat.]
[so: Added a brief discussion of this to the Errata for Page 18.]
