Lets make an errata list for LRB

plasmoid · Post by **plasmoid** » Tue Jun 18, 2002 10:30 am

Hi all,
the living rulebook is truly a magnificent document, and allready I'm pointing newbies and oldies to the website.
However, I wouldn't want anyone to learn the wrong rules by reading it.

Therefore, why don't we join forces to make a comprehensive list of errata right here?

I'll go first:
*The Claw and (Razor) Fang skills are flawed: The skill descriptions state that they both skills can be applied to either armor or injury roll. In fact, only claw can be applied to the armor roll, and only (razor) fang can be applied to the injury roll.

*Not errata as such, but something that was left out by mistake: Whenever you get a stat increase on a skill roll, you have the option of ignoring the stat and picking a skill instead (as per the normal rules).

This has been fixed already in the LRB

As per some _house_ rules, you mean? You do not have that option in the normal rules.

Well, you're right.. It's not in the rules.
But it should have been. I believe the BBRC even voted it through, but it gost lost in the process of making the LRB.

I'm sure this will be fixed soon enough. Probably in october.

All ready done.

Per the request at the beginning of the document for typos and rules questions, I made a huge list for Fanatic and sent it to Andy Hall. I was told the issues would be addressed before printing. I hope that claim was accurate.

I compiled the list on the BBC. During that time, I got a few complaints about how I'm a big nitpicker who shouldn't be trying to find typos in the rules, and that the large number of insignificant typos I found somehow prove that the document is without real flaws. So, I'm not going to bother posting my work here, because I don't want to annoy people, but I still feel an obligation to tell you that the Living Handbook has been almost completely proofread.

Instead of making an errata, I'd wait a little longer to see how many changes are made to the online document. If this rulebook really is alive, your errata will be irrelevant soon enough.

PinkHorror neglects to mention that several people (myself included) also greatly praised the accuracy and amount of work he put into his detail review.

Oops, I knew I shouldn't have deleted that line. I really had a line about how I got some support, but I thought it took away from my point. It also looked very weak in comparison to the rest of the message.

Sorry Galak, and Anthony, and anyone else who didn't dump on me.

By the way, how did my player's Bionic Arm surgery go? Can I retire him before my next game if he lost strength?

Which team ... I do all the team updates on the night before the league round starts ... I'll roll for the player now so you can decide whether to retire him or not if you tell me which team.

The Candyland Tasties are awaiting the results of the surgery.

Well,
going back to the original subject of the thread:
Here's another one!

*It isn't mentioned anywhere that Goblins and Halflings have to pay double the cost for rookie ogres (only stars, and as we know, rookies are not stars).

Another one ?
On page 4, in the "Playing Field" chapter, it is said : "The rows of squares on either side... (14 squares in all)... line of scrimmage."
Shouldn't it be "15 squares in all" ?

The LOS is actually 7 squares on your half of the midway point between the wide zones plus 7 squares on my half. So it's actually 14 squares. The quoted section does not refer to the width of the pitch, which (as noted) is 15 squares.

On page 26 under Big Guys and starplayer point the sentence stops with out any ending. I guess that the part that is missing is "trait.".

On page...uh...2. The word "Production" is spelled wrong in the credits.

I was going to post this like a week ago, but haven't been able to get to TBB since then.
