  1. p.66, Mythos amd History, 3rd para, 2nd sentence (and also p.68, Aram Ya-Udram, 2nd para, 2nd sentence), this reads oddly. I suggest either putting commas before and after "during a long duel", or changing the order of the clauses to "During a long duel he tricked Gouger into the arms of his enslaved black demon". p.66, The Cult In The World, 1st para, 1st sentence, "found in only in" -> "found only in" or "found in only". p.67, Skills, 2nd sentence, "the Bloody Cut (following)" -> "the Bloody Cut", because the skill description precedes this sentence and it's on the same page, so "(following)" is unnecessary and looks weird given that brackets are usually a qualifier for a skill. p.68, Leader, 2nd para, 1st sentence, should "A candidate for priesthood must" be instead "A candidate for leader must"? Because as things stand, priests are said to be a subset of leaders and priest requirements are stated, but no requirements are given for non-priest leaders and yet they have responsibilities and benefits. And these stated "priesthood" requirements say nothing about magic. p.68, Aram Ya-Udram, the first three paragraphs are either exact or almost exact duplicates of content from two pages earlier under "Mythos and History". p.69, Seal Wound, 2nd sentence, "but not heal hit points" -> "but does not heal hit points". The RBoM entry (p. 77) has the same issue.
  2. p.51, Organization, 1st para, second sentence, "high Axe Maidens" sounds odd to me and this term isn't used elsewhere in the book. Consider changing to "high priestess Axe Maidens". p.53, 2nd col, 2nd para, last sentence, "divination" -> "Divination" as elsewhere. p.56, Since Time Began, 1st para, 1st sentence, "in only in Caladraland" -> "only in Caladraland" or "in only Caladraland". p.57, Inter Cult Organization, last sentence, "their own judgement " -> "their own judgment" (US spelling). p.57, Intra-Temple Organization, 1st para, missing period/full stop after "Priestess". p.59, 1st col, Requirements To Join, 1st sentence, "normal sacrifices of POW" -> "normal sacrifices of magic points". However, this is a requirement to belong rather to join so seems in the wrong section (and possibly related to the Requirements to Belong having the wrong text, from Issaries). p.59, 2nd col, Mundane Benefits, "Initiates are available to obtain" -> "Initiates are able to obtain". p.59, 2nd col, Skills, 1st para, 3rd sentence, "Other training available" -> "Other skills available", because "Other training available … are Cult Lore …" doesn't work. p.59, Favored Passions, only Loyalty is listed here but p.62 gives Initiates Devotion too, so probably needs adding here. p.60, Rune Magic, 1st para, "Summon Small Earth Elemental, Summon Small Fire Elemental" -> "Summon Earth Elemental (small), Summon Fire Elemental (small)". p.60, Earthwarm, last sentence (as per p.23), "increases the 50-meter radius" -> "increases the radius by 50 meters" (as per the RBoM). If this change was done to save space, it could be done much more effectively by leaving the original wording and changing "kilometer" to "km", or various other ways that don't leave it ambiguous. p.60, Unisonance, 2nd para, change the period/full stop after "Second Age" to a comma. p.62, Initiates box, Cult Spirit Magic, the points costs are wrong for Detect Diamond/Earthblood/Firebone compared to p.59. p.63, Tessele, 5th para, last sentence, "reduced to 6 POW points or less" -> "reduced to 6 magic points or less". p.63, Lodril, 1st sentence, "every temple of the Twins still pay homage" -> "every temple of the Twins still pays homage".
  3. p.44, Centers of Power, 1st para, 3rd sentence, change the semicolon to a comma (it's wrong to use a semicolon with "and" like this). p.46, Restrictions, 2nd para, "up to a maximum" -> "beyond a maximum". p.48, Earthwarm, last sentence (as per p.23), "increases the 50-meter radius" -> "increases the radius by 50 meters" (as per the RBoM). If this change was done to save space, it could be done much more effectively by leaving the original wording and changing "kilometer" to "km", or various other ways that don't leave it ambiguous. p.48, 2nd col, last sentence, "when needed by depositor" -> "when needed by the depositor".
  4. p.29, 1st col, last para, 1st sentence, remove erroneous comma after "Aldrya" (or move it to before "Aldrya"). p.35, Elder Sister, 2nd para, 2nd sentence, "goddess' primeval urges" -> "goddess's primeval urges*. p.36, Benefits, 1st para, last sentence, "their goddess' natural" -> "their goddess's natural". p.38, Speak With Herd Beasts, the WoD correction to the RBoM entry has not been made here. p.38, Ernalda, 1st sentence, "her spell to Dismiss Earth Elementals" -> "her spell Dismiss Earth Elemental". p.38, Ernalda, 2nd sentence, "Summon Earth Elementals" -> "Summon Earth Elemental". p.38, Yelm, 1st sentence, "and therefore all elves" -> "and therefore to all elves", to prevent stumbling while reading (expecting "and therefore" to be followed by an assertion). p.40, 2nd col, 1st para, 2nd sentence, "the spike" -> "the Spike"?
  5. Returning "something/someone" "from somewhere" is fine. It doesn't have to be returning "to somewhere".
  6. p.15, 2nd col, 4th para, 1st sentence, "Lightbringers Quest" -> "Lightbringers' Quest". p.16, 1st col, 4th para, last sentence, "Goddess' war" -> "Goddess's war" (or if keeping the former then p.20 "Goddess's" needs to change). p.18, Lay Membership, 1st para, 2nd sentence, "goddess' gifts" -> "goddess's gifts" (as above). p.18, Lay Membership, 1st para, 3rd sentence, delete "that" from "Any non-Chaotic sentient being that is welcomed". p.18, Rune Spells, last sentence, "Restore (CON, STR)" -> "Restore Health (CON, STR)". p.19, Earth Priestess, Requirements, 2nd para, should perhaps "become Wise Women" -> "become Wise Women or Earth Priestesses"? As it is now it reads oddly in this section on Earth Priestess requirements since it seems to apply only to Wise Women. If it does only apply to Wise Women then this paragraph is in the wrong section. p.20, Birthing, the "Touch" tag is missing. p.22, Speak With Horse, 1st sentence, "talk a horse" -> "talk with a horse". p.23, Craft (Brewing), first sentence, "each which" -> "each of which". p.23, Earthwarm, last sentence, "increases the 50-meter radius" -> "increases the radius by 50 meters" (as per the RBoM). If this change was done to save space, it could be done much more effectively by leaving the original wording and changing "kilometer" to "km", or various other ways that don't leave it ambiguous. p.25, Yelm, 1st sentence, "one ot Ernalda's husband" -> "one of Ernalda's husbands".
  7. p.43, Healer, Requirements to Belong, 1st sentence, when read in isolation (e.g. looking up during a game) this appears to mean that for an Initiate the oath is less restrictive in terms of "never to harm an intelligent creature" than for a Lay Member at the very top of the same page ("never to harm a living creature"). Suggest changing the text either here or at the top of the page to make the two consistent, since the intention (as clarified in the Rules Q&A thread) seems to be for them to be the same, or at least no less restrictive at Initiate level.
  8. Throughout, "worshipped" -> "worshiped" as per the Lightbringers book. p.2, 2nd col, last para, last sentence, "Gods Time" -> "God Time". p.3, Names, 1st para, 3rd sentence, "as separate deities" -> "as a separate deity" ("each" is singular). p.11, Voria, 3rd sentence, "Her appearance awakens the Grain Goddesses to awake" -> "Her apperance alerts the Grain Goddesses to awake" as per the Prosopaedia (repetition).
  9. p.150, 1st col, 4th para, 1st sentence, "Neliomi himself" -> "Neliomi herself", based on the Prosopaedia describing Neliomi as a goddess (Ygg entry). p.150, 1st col, 5th para, "Vadrus' Palace" -> "Vadrus's Palace". p.11, Vadrus, 1st sentence, "Vadrus' nature" -> "Vadrus's nature". p.96, Before Time, 2nd para, 2nd sentence, "Vadrus' cruelest son" -> "Vadrus's cruelest son". p.52, 1st col, 1st para, 5th sentence, "Hofhadalos’ peers"-> "Hofhadalos’s peers". p.150, 2nd col, last para, 2nd sentence, "which carry " -> "which carried", since everything else is in past tense. p.151, 1st col, last para, 1st sentence, "at Three Step Island" -> "Three Step Isles". p.154, 2nd col, 2nd para, 1st sentence, "Yggs Islands" -> "Ygg's Islands" as elsewhere. p.154, 2nd col, 2nd para, 2md sentence, "Yggs Islanders" -> "Ygg's Islanders" as elsewhere. p.3, Names, 1st para, 3rd sentence, "as separate deities" -> "as a separate deity" ("each is singular).
  10. Wow, that's strange (in that I clearly imagined that). I stand corrected. Thanks.
  11. p.142, 1st col, 5th para, 3rd sentence, "goddess' cult" -> "goddesses' cult". p 143, Organization, 1st para, 2nd sentence, "has" and "are" clash here because one is singular and one is plural, and the subject is "none of these ". Suggest "and are outranked" -> "and they are outranked" to resolve this. p.147, Associated Cults, Eiritha, "Speak With Herd Beast" -> "Speak With Herd Beasts". p.147, Speak With Herd Beasts, the WoD correction for the RBoM has not been made here. p.147, The Animal Nomads, 1st para, 3rd sentence, "High llama" -> "High Llama", and "morokanth" -> "Morokanth".
  12. p.132, Benefits, throughout, "Priest " -> "priest" for consistency with the other sections in this chapter. p.134, Parts Of The Bull, 1st para, 3rd sentence, "Not every High Priests" -> "Not every High Priest". p.134, Parts Of The Bull, The Bull's Head, 2nd sentence, remove erroneous comma after "When visible it". p.134, Speak With Herd Beasts, the WoD correction for the RBoM has not been made here.
  13. https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/Cults-of-RuneQuest-The-Prosopaedia-Cover-by-Katrin-Dirim-by-Chaosium/150778209.IJ6L0
  14. Edit - thanks, you're right, and I've corrected my changes to make all the Mastakos possessives into "Mastakos's".
  15. p.112, Requirements To Join, 3rd para, last sentence, "judgement" -> "judgment" (US spelling). p.113, 1st col, Skills, 4th para, 1st sentence, add reference to "p.114" since these are detailed over the page. p.120, Holy Days And High Holy Days, "Mastakos' holy days" -> "Mastakos's holy days". p.120, Holy Days And High Holy Days, "Mastakos' worshipers" -> "Mastakos's worshipers". p.125, 2nd col, 2nd para, 1st sentence, "a year and day " -> "a year and a day". p.125, 2nd col, 2nd para, 1st sentence, should this apply to Bearwalkers as well as initiates?
  16. p.102, Temple Organization, 2nd para, 3rd sentence, "extra Lords" reads a bit oddly here since Lords haven't been mentioned in this section yet. Consider changing to "extra Swords* or whatever is intended. p.103, Requirements To Belong, 1st para, 1st sentence, add a reference to the gift and geas tables (pp.105-6), since these are 2-3 pages ahead. p.105, Skills, 3rd para, 1st sentence, "use temples premises" -> "use temple premises". p.105, Humakt's Gifts table, 9, "Bless specific weapon" -> "Bless a specific weapon" (as per other similar gifts). p.105, Humakt's Gifts table, 14, missing period/full stop at end of gift description. p.106, Sword, Requirements For Acceptance, 2nd sentence, "any other weapon attack" -> "any other weapon". p.109, 1st col, 3rd para, 1st sentence, "how warriors were to deal with" -> "how warriors are to deal with" (past tense is inconsistent here). p.109, Yanafal Tarnils, last sentence, "Yanafal Tarnil's cult" -> "Yanafal Tarnils' cult".
  17. p.95, "and brings" -> "and bring" because even though "they* is being used to refer to a singular being, "they" still goes with "bring" and not "brings", and "they" is the subject and not "Rain God". p.96, Before Time, 1st para, 3rd sentence, "was freed" -> "were freed", to match the earlier "they". p.97 and throughout, "Requirements For Initiation" is sometimes "Requirements For Acceptance" for initiates in other cults in the book. Should ideally be consistent. Similarly sometimes for Rune levels it's "Requirements To Join" and for others "Requirements For Acceptance". p 97 and throughout, "Requirements To Remain Initiated" is sometimes "Requirements To Belong" for initiates in other cults in the book. Should ideally be consistent. p.97, Lay Member Spirit Magic, 1st sentence, "Healing" -> "Heal". p.97, Initiate Spirit Magic, 1st sentence, "Healing" -> "Heal". p.43, 1st col, Spirit Magic, 1st sentence, "Healing" -> "Heal".
  18. p.92, Particular Likes/Dislikes, 1st para, 3rd sentence, "sacred time" -> "Sacred Time". p 92, Particular Likes/Dislikes, 2nd para, "Orlanth chief" -> "Orlanthi chief" (consistency). p.93, Requirements For Acceptance, 1st para, 2nd sentence, "the Waste" -> "the Wastes". p.93, Mundane Benefits, 1st sentence, "the bands raids" -> "the band's raids". p.94, Whirlvishes, penultimate para, 3rd sentence, "hits points" -> "hit points ".
  19. p.74, Associated Cults, 1st para, 2nd sentence, "permits a spell" -> "provides a spell" ("permits a spell … to" sounds very awkward). p.31 and p.78, Plow, listed as Touch but the description refers to the caster being affected. So either "Touch" is wrong or the description. Same problem in RBoM. p.88, Temple Organization, last sentence says that the selection of the different categories of Hunters is explained further in the Initiate Membership section. However, the Initiate Membership section on p.89 says nothing on this. p.89, Master Hunter, Requirements for Acceptance, 1st para, "Each year, there is a Great Hunt in which normally only Master Hunters take part" aopears to conflict with the p.88 Temple Organization section that says that all followers of Foundchild participate in "the" Great Hunt - "the" implying there is only one Great Hunt and not a separate one for Master Hunters.
  20. p.61, Temple Organization, 1st para, last sentence, "Merchant's Guilds" -> "Merchants Guilds" or "Merchants' Guilds". p.62, Trader Prince, 1st para, last sentence, remove comma since it currently changes the intended meaning (we already know that they are priests from the 1st sentence). Or simply change to "They also lead worship ceremonies to the god". p.64, Herald Goodword, 1st para, 4th sentence, this appears to have become garbled. Firstly, "they hire him" doesn't make sense because no-one else has been referred to in this section yet that could be "they". Suggest "they hire him" -> "he is hired" or similar. Secondly, "who carries words" is out of place when following "enemies". Suggest "who carries words" -> "since he always carries words" or similar. p.66, 1st col, 1st sentence, "Sartar' arrival" -> "Sartar's arrival". p.68, 1st col, 1st para, last sentence, "judgements" -> "judgments" (US spelling).
  21. p.54, Crack, "Instantaneous" -> "Instant". p.54, Crack, the WoD correction to the RBoM has not been made here. p.55, Lightbringer, 2nd para, "Clever Tongue and Hide Fire* -> "Clever Tongue" (repetition). p.56, Trickster Priest, 2nd para, 1st sentence, "put upon then" -> "put upon them". p.59, 1st col, 2nd para, 1st sentence, remove apostrophe from "Gods' War" (as elsewhere). p.59, Since Time Began, 1st sentence, "Issaries's" -> "Issaries'" (apostrophe at the end). p.59, Otherworld Home, "Issaries's" -> "Issaries'" (apostrophe at the end).
  22. Did someone mention a Secret Tunnel? https://youtu.be/Al-889M7_CQ?si=15yDxLTirq0Z-WSF
  23. p.47, Speak With Herd Beasts, the WoD correction for the RBoM has not been made here. p.49, 1st col, step 4, 2nd para, 2nd sentence, "wounds of either type of poison" -> "wounds or either type of poison". p.46, Refine Medicine, 1st sentence refers to the "Other" category on p.48. However there.is no "Other" category on the Usefulness table, and the potency table only has an "other" category as a plant part for seasonal potency. See below for other issues with p.49 and Healing Plants. p.49, Example, 2nd para, this doesn't match the preceding tables. It says that the healer looks at the second plant and a roll of 6 means "other". But this doesn't match the tables, since the first roll is for usefulness and a roll of 6 there makes it a plant for Systemic Poison. The third para has her rolling again to determine potency and usefulness, so clearly this doesn't match the preceding description and tables. The 3rd para says that 3 MP are required to change Systemic Poison to Shakes, but it would be 4 MP required based on the usefulness table to shift from Systemic Poison (6) to the Shakes (2).
