On page 60 and 63, "Homeland cultural skill bonuses", Sartar, Esrolia and Old Tarsh get a bonus to 'Battle Axe' but on the character sheet you only have the skills '1H Axe' and '2H Axe'. As you can use a battle axe either one or two handed, do you get the bonuses to both skills, or is it supposed to be "1H Axe or "2H Axe", or should you add 'Battle Axe' as a skill, or...?

In short, do you have skills in weapon cathegories as defined on page 207 and on, or in individual weapons? The Homeland cultural skill bonuses seem to indicate both since you get both bonuses to cathegories ("1H Spear +10%) and to individual weapons (High Llama: "2H Dagger-Axe +10%"). And on the character sheet, only the weapon cathegories are listed as skills.

Page 192, The Melee. 
"lthough these phases
are taken in turn, the actitivies they address occurs more-orless
simultaneously.". 

Should that be "Activities" ?

Page 231, Conflicting Runes. 
"selfintrospection", Should that be "self introspection"?

Page 272, Worship.
Not sure, but: 
" unused as they are to dealing with powerful spiritual forces"
Should that be "are to deal with", or "are dealing with".

Page 277, Benefits. 
Not sure, but: 
"There are eight additional principle benefits to being a Rune Priest,"
Should that be "benefits to be a Rune Priest" or "benefits for being a Rune Priest"

Page 329, Group Laughter
Not sure, but: 
"funny when told to those affected ". 
That sounds better to me as: 
"funny when told those affected"

Page 331, Illusory Sight,
Not sure but:
"which registers upon lightsensitive
organs"
Should that be "light sensitive"?

 Page 333, Invisibility, 
Not sure, but: 
"If the subject makes a noise, an enemy can try to strike by sound alone, at a –50% chance of success."
Should these sentences be separated with the semicolon? Or a word like "then"?

Not sure but:

Maybe that should be something like: 
"Rune Masters of Light, Heat or Sky Rune based cults"

Not sure, but: 
"the Horned Man’s other self awoke to timeless possibilities and became his mirror"
Should that be "self-awoke" ?

". Examples include disease spirits,

Page 374, Spirit Vortices
"revisit a previously known vortex. Generally, it takes 1D6 hours to reach a spirit vortice."

Page 378, 
"Hill of Orlanth Victorious: Where Orlanth (and
later Harmast Barefoot) began the Lightbringers’
Quest. Mostly elemental and human spirits; wellguarded
by the Orlanth cult."
Should that be "well guarded"?

Peace rune spell - Page 336 - so the Ernalda and Eiritha high priest will with Peace skill cause all every person in Lunar army in 1 km radius to. she can launch that at least 7 times with current power - they have 21 points of POW? - so for 105 minutes. There are multiple high priestesses of Ernalda existing (High Priest is the head of Major Temple and in large cults there might be many). So basically this creates the possibility of eternal peace in 1 km radius provided enough high priests 13-14 minimum of them are around as they can take turns in casting and recover the spells. The RQG text seems to indicate that High Priests might be available in non single digit numbers... So only rune priests of the enemy can fight...  so while non rune priests of the opponent lay down their weapons the multitude of initiates, lay members and rune priests allied with Ernalda/Eiritha priests slaughter or imprison the opposing rune masters by sheer weight of numbers - if I recall correctly some calculations how many rune levels exist - probably there are 30-100 times more non rune lords. So we will have eternal peace unless all Ernalda and Eiritha high priestesses are nullified before combat. 

Would think that this spell is over powered both in scenario and army/campaign level and needs to be modded.

Page 379: Rune Priest
Please clarify, if this rune priest is specially a shamanpriest able to sacrifice POW, or if all Rune Priests are Shaman priests, or did you ment to use work "Rune Priest". 
"Rune Priests
Spirit cults don’t have proper Rune Priests, so Priests of Black Fang are
shamans, instead. Like most shamanpriests, they can sacrifice POW for the
cult’s Rune points."

Page 400, Logical Mind, 
Not sure, but: 
"This spell defends the subject from the effects of mindaltering
magic, including Befuddle or a vampire’s Enthrall,"
Should that be: 
"mind altering" or "milnd-altering"?
 
Page 419, 
"Increasing POW Through Spell Use or
Spirit Combat
POW can increase because of use of POW during situations
of stress. An adventurer can attract POW from the universe
with the high emotional output found during a crisis.
If an adventurer obtains a success either attacking or parrying
during spirit combat, POW can be increased or wth
successful POW vs. POW resistance roll. Spells that have
a 95% chance of success against an enemy do not provide
sufficient stress to allow a POW gain roll."

Should that be: 
"a success by either", "or with successful" and "enemy does not provide". 


Page 426, Aging
Not sure, but: 
"5. Aging
Increase all adventurers’ ages by 1 year. In game terms, all
aging is done during the Sacred Time, regardless of the
adventurers’s actual birth date"

Should that be either "adventurers' " or "Adventurer's " ?

There are ways to overcome that foe. 
1. Neutralize Magic. This spell negates the spell effect. 
2. Neutralize (Rune), this spell can be smithed to any equipment and makes the bearer immune to Earth spells.
3. Absorption, this spell precasted by several people in Lunar army would make it very hard to cast the peace. 
4.  Command Priests, would make it harder to use any magic. (Lunars has ways to get other gods magic). 
There may be other ways to deal with the obstacle. 


But yes, your description sounds alarming 😃

Page 292, Eiritha
Please clarify, what does it mean: 
"Waha: Provides the Peaceful Cut skill."

Do you get the +20% bonus that is listed under Waha to provide for his followers? or is it +10%, which is mentioned under character creation. (any time the same skill is mentioned again if nothing else is mentioned). 
or is the peaceful Cut a skill that you don't automatically posses, but may gain, and it then starts at 10% (listed under basic skill presents).

The line for 1561 on Family History section of the character sheet is all wrong. It reads "Favored grandparent is active. Parents born this year." It should most probably read, "Your grandparents were born by this year."  "Your parents were born by this year" should probably be on a line of its own under 1582. There should be space for that when you get rid of the errant 1617 line

Is there several differing PDF:s available? My PDF doesn't have year 1617, and the Grandparents are born on 1561 and the parents on 1582. image.png.ee4a66f6306a97c6a4eb0eabfa58478e.pngimage.png.ab7b51fd334d046aa6ba302435a1b456.png

The mentioned problem is on the character sheet (p. 431)

Earth priestesses exists also in Fonrit and Umathela and Lunars are not really there so command priests might not be available to opponent of earth priestesses.

Dagger-Axe?

See its entry in the Axes table on p. 208 and description on p. 210. Vishi Dunn has one (p. 91).

I will point out that the p. 208 and p. 210 references should probably capitalise the "a" in "axe" for consistency with the p. 63 reference and the other weapon listings: change "Dagger-axe" to "Dagger-Axe".

No for this : subject of the verb is "spells" and not "enemy"

"Spells (that have

"If an earth elemental lacks any damage bonus,"
Should that be: 
"lack"?
Page 88, Earth Elemental.

No; it's an elemental (singular), so it takes the third-person singular verb form, "lacks".

"other self" (subject) "awoke" (verb) is correct as is.

For p. 374, I'd change "vortice" to "vortex".

This is p. 418 in my PDF. I agree that the "If an adventurer obtains a success either attacking or parrying during spirit combat, POW can be increased or wth successful POW vs. POW resistance roll" is garbled and unclear.

The "Spells… do not provide…" construction is correct as written.

I apologize if someone has mentioned this before.

Quote

Page 340, "Spell Trading", the last (6th) bullet of Spell Trading procedure:

The original owners of the spells can still cast them after trading them, provided that the spell was not a one-use spell and that all other requirements for the spell (Rune points, cult status, etc.) are still met.

 

According to this sentence, the adventurer cannot cast the one-use spell which was traded, permanently. If so, the adventurer probably has to reacquire the right to cast the one-use spell (see Gaining Rune Magic Spells”, p.313).

 

This interpretation seems to be wrong and should be corrected. My suggestion is:

  • Delete that the spell was not a one-use spell and from the above sentence.
  • Rewrite the rule below,
Quote

Page 340, "Spell Trading", the5th bullet of Spell Trading procedure, the first sentence:

The Rune points used to trade a Rune spell can be replenished in the regular fashion. 

to

The Rune points used to trade a Rune spell can be replenished in the regular fashion, unless the rune spell is one-use. The Rune points used to trade an one-use spell cannot be replenished as always.

Sorry for my poor expression. Please correct my English, if you would adopt this interpretation.

Pages 203 and 204

Regarding special results for Impale

An impale does twice the weapon’s normal rolled damage.
An impaling blow with a short spear does 2D6+2 damage
points, not the normal 1D6+1.
If the impaling adventurer
has a damage bonus, it is rolled normally and added to the
damage—the damage bonus is not doubled. Any magical
addition to the damage is only added once.
If the impale is also a critical hit, then the maximum
possible impaling damage (14 points in the case of the short
spear) is done to the victim, to which is added any damage
bonus and any extra damage from spells.

and

Special resulsts for Slashing

The slashing weapon’s damage should be rolled normally
twice and both results added together. A slash with a
broadsword does 2D8+2 damage points, not the normal
1D8+1
. If the slashing adventurer has a damage bonus, it
is rolled normally and added to the damage. Any magical
addition to the damage is only added once. If the slash is
also a critical hit, then the maximum possible damage (18
points in the case of the broadsword) is done to the victim
in that hit location.

Is there a reason for the change in language and discrepency between the descriptions?

A small one, on the character sheet, skills page; the skill 'Spirit Lore' does not have a line to write the skill percentage nor does it have a experience tick box.

Mentioned to me by my son, Fox'.

 

Thanks
