| (er) | 169: | Shadaegina gag! -> Shada egina gag! [Maybe? This still doesn't make any sense to me though] [LeRoy McSwain, Jan 2007]
[Jan C: Shadaegina gag! -> Shad egina gag! (maybe it means: "Soldiers will drink the sea!", or "The sea will swallow them!")
[JB: Hmm. Good catch. I believe that "shadaegina" should be translated as "sailors" or "marines" (i.e. sea-soldiers). Perhaps the whole phrase should be "Gaz muzar ok ruzzar! Shadaegina gaj!" which translates to "I destroy the enemy ship. The marines die." ]
[LOT: I will play devil's advocate and argue that the phrase could stand as is. 'gag' literally translates to 'drink'. And if 'shadaegina' means 'sailors' (Jonathan's reasoning seems sound to me), then we have the phrase "(The) Sailors drink!", where the word 'drink' is a verb. This could well be a colloquial Giak phrase for drowning, especially given the context.] |
| (er) | 226: | The black tendril retreats... [mh: I'm wondering if there's some text missing. The paragraph leading here (315) only said that something was rising, and asked if you wanted to get reading. Then in this paragraph the text assumes that the reader has already encountered the blak tendril. Compare with 103, another choice from 315: in that case the tendril is introduced at the start of 103. I don't have the book to check, but there seems to be something amiss here.]
[jc: "The black tendril retreats--it is as if the creature can sense that you pose a threat to its safety--until it is hovering directly above the abyss. You step forward, intending to hasten it on its way, when suddenly" -> "You step forward, ready for combat, when suddenly" In sections 303 and 315, which forego this section, there isn't mention about black tendril.] |
| (er) | 226, 276: | Unless you possess the Magnakai Discipline of Nexus and have reached the Kai rank of Archmaster -> Unless you have reached the Magnakai rank of Archmaster [BK: It's impossible to reach this section without possessing Nexus, and Archmaster is a Magnakai rank.] |

| (ft) | 79: | Apart from the armour [jfs: What happens with your armour (if carrying one)? Can you still carry a Waistcoast (either Padded Leather or Chainmail) if you have one?] |
| (ft) | 102, 114: | [jc: Should Jewelled Mace grant here +5 CS bonus? (also in sect. 114)] [so: "It is unclear whether a Jewelled Mace should add 5 to your COMBAT SKILL here (cf. Shadow on the Sand Section 253)."] |
| (ft) | 230: | [JD: should we create a footnote reminding players not to forget the +7 CS bonus of either Helshezag or the Dagger of Vashna when used against a Darklord?] [SO: Actually, cf Section 88: "The power of the weapon you wield is greatly intensified when used within the walls of Helgedad. Owing to its increased power, add 12 to your COMBAT SKILL for the duration of the fight. Darklord Gnaag is immune to Mindblast (but not Psi-surge)." That may be why Joe didn't add any bonus for using DoV/Helshezag to the combat against Taktaal--he wanted to save the surprise. It is inconsistent ruling, though. The +7CS for fighting a Darklord might make more sense here than the full +12.]
[dv: As stated in the Errata, there's inconsistency in the rules: Using the Dagger of Vashna against Taktaal - should it be +7CS or +12CS? It is possible for player to avoid fighting Kraagenskul with DoV so he wouldn't even know about the +7CS bonus (while it's explicitly stated when 'acquiring' the Helshezag). So maybe it could be footnoted with "Depending on you interpretations of the rules..." or to make things consistent section 88 could be changed so it states: "The power of the weapon you wield is greatly intensified when used against the Archlord (of Helgedad/of the Darklands)." Though it would probably mean some original text has to be changed.] |
