AJ The Ronin Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Hope there's still time: page 118 Draconic: "speakers of Draconic also know Old Pavic at 1/2 their Old Pavic ability" it should say "1/2 their Draconic ability" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Helsdon Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) Probably too late... Page 11: 'each. neatly averaging' should be 'each neatly averaging'. Page 63: '12 (35 is closer to 36 than 33). which' should be '12 (35 is closer to 36 than 33) which'. Page 63: 'honest work, patience. etc.' should be 'honest work, patience etc.' Page 74: '100 L. donated to the cult' should be '100 L donated to the cult' Page 85: 'and back. ground' should be 'and background'.

Steve Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 User Corwin on Kickstarter posted the following, and asked if someone with an account here (he hasn't had the signup confirmation yet) could post on here. So here goes: (p3) In the 20-sided vs 10-sided comment raised on the forum, one could always just say “One pair of percentile dice” and skip the whole issue. (p18) Under “Resolution Of Melee”, only step 3 has an asterix for hafted weapon damage. Step 2 should have an asterix as well (as it does in the summary tables) (p21) Under Special Basic Chances, the “15% Chance” and “25% Chance” are not left aligned properly. (p35) Battle Magic Spell Table. The extra note added to the table in this version is very confusing (if not actually contradictory) to the note on the previous page (Where Healing 3 costs 3000L). Ie: “* The cost of the spell is cumulative. Thus a 3 point Shimmer spell would cost 1500 L and a 5 point Shimmer spell would cost an additional 2500 L” Likewise the “Cost – 500 L/pt” is also misleading. If something needs to be added, perhaps the “NOTE” from the previous page would be better. Ie: “To buy a variable spell, a character must pay the cost of each lower point spell as well as the level he wishes to buy. In other words, to obtain Healing 3, Healing 1 and 2 must also be bought, a total cost of 3000 L”. Also “Shimmer 5” is a bad example as Shimmer is limited to 4 points. (p65) - Standard Rune Magic Spells Table, “ Runepower 3” is listed as “Runepower” without the “3”. Ditto in GM’s Screen & Player Handouts. (p76) Orlanthe ‘Teleporation’ Runespell. “Non-stackable” in heading but in the description text is says “A stackable spell, it can be used to teleport someone else, within the same limitations.” (p76) Orlanthe ‘Dark Walk’ Runespell. Listed as “Non-Stackable” but text says “the spell is stackable to 2 points for double duration”. Perhaps it should be listed as “Stackable*” or “Stackable (see below)”? (p126-127) The encounter charts in the new addition have weird justifications (centre / right /etc) vs the original left-only. I’ not sure if this is a formatting error or just an odd(?) sense of aesthetic. (p133) The landscape charts in the original RQ2 are consistently top-to-the-left. The “Leaders & Followers” sheet on this page is ‘upside down’ under this model. (backcover) I’m guessing from the PDF that the book will not have the original A-H centre pull out section. IF that is the case then the back cover should probably have the following text removed: “Convenient Pull-Outs - the center sheets of the book make up a digest of the most important charts, tables, rules, and procedures, which can be lifted from the book for easy access.” (Various Charts) Not a typo as such, but when the ‘0’ encumbrance items of the original RQ2 were replaced with fractional values, why were the ugly (2)* and (4)* used when the actual ½ and ¼ glyphs are used freely throughout the rest of the RQ2 book? Just wondering… :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately this arises from including the Cults of Prax version, which doesn't explicitly state stackable or non-stackable. Suspect this should be Stackable.

The spell in the original CoP gives the ability to teleport others with the caveat that the caster has to travel with the target, hence, "stackable" as multiple castings at the same time. 1 hour ago, M Helsdon said: Unfortunately this arises from including the Cults of Prax version, which doesn't explicitly state stackable or non-stackable. Suspect this should be Stackable. Dark Walk is extendable through multiple castings at the same time, not-stackable. Stackable suggests an increase in the effectiveness of the particular spell being stacked, i.e. Shield. Maybe an explicit definition of Stackable is needed.

Unfortunately, the wording in the original RQ2 and Cults of Prax is contradictory. It explicitly states that it will not carry any other living thing, even should the caster wrap his arms around it and then contradicts this in the next sentence. In this instance the status of Non-Stackable appears unambiguous. Edited January 17, 2016 by M Helsdon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The definition given for Stackable seems adequate. Perhaps I shouldn't have ported in the CoP wording. Mea culpa.

M Helsdon Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Pedantic comments regarding terminology... Page 2: mastering the runes Rune cults becoming a Rune lord becoming a Rune priest might be: mastering the Runes Rune Cults becoming a Rune Lord becoming a Rune Priest General: 'hit points' throughout might be 'Hit Points'. Capitalization varies. General: 'bound spirit' might be 'Bound Spirit'. General: 'allied spirit' might be 'Allied Spirit'. Capitalization varies. General: 'fetch' might be 'Fetch'. Capitalization varies. Page 44: 'controlled Spirit' usually 'Controlled Spirit'. Page 82: 'controlled spirit' usually 'Controlled Spirit'. Page 139: 'Rune Lord Priest' (two instances) is usually 'Rune Lord-Priest'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Helsdon Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Page 87: Suggest a new line inserted between: Peck 8 30% 1D10+petrifies The peck injects a poison into the body of the victim. This poison is just a conductor for the “attack” of the cockatrice’s POW Page 90: 'Short sword 8 30% 1D6+1 -1D4' should be 'Short sword 8 30% 1D6+1-1D4'. Page 96: 'POW 1D6+6 9-10 Defense 10%' - the 10% should be on the same line as Defense. Page 97: Suggest a new line inserted between: Other Skills: Move Quietly 60%; Hide in Cover 50%. SKELETONS Page 101: 'Kick 6 40% 108' should be 'Kick 6 40% 1D8’. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDLeary Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Remember guys, this is a typo quest. Rules don't worry about; RQ2 says one thing, CoP or RQ Companion says something else... The rules are supposed to be faithful to the original book. Contradictory supplements that came later are based on revised thinking. Choose one variant or the other, YRQWV.

jongjom Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) Not a typo as such but the Time Line For The Lunar Empire and Dragon Pass Regions (page 7) has been extended to 1627. Many RQ2 products are set before that date. It sets RQ2 in the present-present for Glorantha i.e. the same timeline for HQG and 13th Age. Keep it retro!

The OCRed RQ file did not include the cults and other material, which was either sourced from other OCRed documents or typed in from scratch. The cults were mostly ported in from CoP and sanitized to a degree, whilst the new appendices were either typed in or ported in from another document. The Errata I used was from the RQ Companion. The original book contained numerous typos, most of which were caught prior to the release of the PDF. The extended page length derives from the way in which books are printed, to avoid blank pages.
