MOB Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Today we have released an updated PDF of the RuneQuest Core Rules, the RuneQuest Bestiary, and the Adventures Book and Resources Book from the Gamemaster Screen Pack. This incorporates any corrections made based on the previous "tribal edit" thread. These updated PDFs are available to download from your Chaosium account or your DTRPG account. This is a new thread to catch any typos or errors spotted in the RuneQuest Bestiary. Please note them here, quoting the page number, the error, and the suggested correction. PLEASE ONLY USE THE PDF OF 11 OCTOBER 2018 AS THE REVIEW DOCUMENT There are separate correction threads for the updated PDFs of the RQG Core Rules and GM Screen Pack. Any approved corrections will go into subsequent updates of the PDFs and printing of the books. nb If you have any general questions about the RuneQuest rules, ask Jason here: https://basicroleplaying.org/topic/8399-runequest-core-rules-questions Many thanks.

PhilHibbs Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 The ISBN shown on the copyright page is 9781568825021, which is the ISBN for the core rulebook. Looks as though this should be updated to 978-1-56882-503-8 to match the back cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilHibbs Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Centaur hit points per location differ from the chart on page 10. Page 10: /4 /4 /6 /6 /4 /4 /6 /4 /4 /6 Page 31: /6 /6 /9 /9 /6 /6 /9 /6 /6 /7 Head hit points on p31 are 7 instead of 9.

PhilHibbs Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Manticore hit points per location differ from the chart on page 10. Page 10 lists them along with dragons, having wings. Page 34 does not list wing locations, so I assume page 10 is incorrect and the do not have wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilHibbs Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Dragonsnails, with HP 15, have more HP per location than the chart on Page 10 indicates. Page 10 says /6 /5 /5 Page 98 says /7 /6 /6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit to @jongjom for spotting it and posting it in the original Bestiary corrections thread, I'm currently going through that re-flagging things that are clearly wrong but didn't get fixed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilHibbs Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Baboons have inconsistent HP per location compared to the chart on Page 10, assuming they use Humanoid, if not then they do not match any of the charts and so should have their own added, or a note on page 29 saying that this chart is specific to them. Page 10 says /5 /5 /5 /6 /4 /4 /5 for 13-15 HP Page 29 says /3 /3 /5 /5 /3 /3 /4 for 11 HP Edited October 11, 2018 by PhilHibbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you objecting to the rounding up of fractions? Or picking an average value within the range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason D Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Thanks, all! Printers hate it when we switch out too many pages, and it creates the margin of error, so we've at this point triaged edits into "edits we absolutely have to make" and "glitches we can cover in an errata sheet." Anything coming in beyond this is grist for an errata page, but the print edit window is officially closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
