the GM. The rest of his spells must be obtained through adventuring. A
ranger is not able to use magic-user scrolls or other magic items unless

by the number of classes, not the number of dice rolled.

p. 78 - On Table 4H: Illegitimate Birth Table, a roll of 06-30 should correspond
to "Birth was a result of rape. Father unknown. [-5 to beginning Honor]" and
a roll of 31-60 should correspond to "Mother was a prostitute. Father
unknown. [-10 to beginning Honor]." Also, a roll of 01-05 should have [-3
to beginning Honor] added to its description. In the case of a result of 91-
100, a birth by a surrogate mother, the father's identity is always known.
p. 78 - The Status of Parents table must be used for each known parent,
including the deceased.
p. 79 – Alternate Sibling Tables were printed in HackJournal 15.
p. 80 - Under Leftover Building Points, the text says that you can convert excess
BPs into 25 fractional ability points or 25 gp. At this point, you may only
convert them into 25 gp. You cannot adjust your Ability Scores after Step 8
of the character creation process.
p. 85 - The numbers listed in the honor column are the upper limit for that row.
Thus, the row labeled fifteen is for honor values of 11-15.
p. 86 - Honor cannot be burned during character creation.

the character's death. It does not allow a character to go back in time to
before combat started.
p. 92 - Table 6D should have the following numbering:
31-45 - Vision Impaired, Far Sighted
46-55 - Blind, one eye
56-70 - Vision Impaired, Near Sighted
p. 92 - A metal leg could be heavier than a wooden leg and could rust if not

p. 94 - The following sentence should be inserted into the description of the Male
Pattern Baldness flaw, after the first sentence:
"If a female character rolls this flaw, she must immediately re-roll on Table
6C, and once on the minor mental quirk table 6F, because of the trauma."
p. 97 - On the Obsession/Compulsion table, entry 17 should read "Compulsion to
accumulate as many jewels as possible," not "Compulsion to accumulate as
many books or scrolls as possible."
p. 98 - On the Extra Personality Table, the entry for a roll of 21-24 should be
"Young adult or middle-aged member of the same sex," not "Young adult or
middle-aged member of the opposite sex."
p. 100 - The Skill Sets list on p. 71 of the GMG supersedes this list.
p. 101 - Under Obtaining New Skills, 1. Building Points, the following
paragraph should be inserted after the first.
During the character creation process, the character rolls the mastery die
once for each expenditure of the BP cost of the skill. For example, if a
character buys a skill at three times the cost, he rolls the mastery die three
times and his honor die three times and adds the total to the relevant ability
(See Appendix F: Skills, Talents and Proficiencies List). Note that you add
the relevant ability only once. There is no limit to the number of mastery die
and honor die rolls that can be purchased, but the skill level cannot exceed
125%.
p. 101 - Under Improving Skills, the current paragraph should be replaced by the
following paragraph:
Skills currently possessed can also be improved through formal and informal
instruction (just like gaining new skills as described in Chapter 11). One
special way to increase the amount that a skill is improved during training is
to use it in an appropriate circumstance for dramatic or important effect.
Anytime you roll under your Chance to Improve Skill value without
modifiers (see Table 1E: Wisdom) when making a skill mastery check, your
character may have learned something new (you'll need to ask your GM).
For example, let's say your party commandeers a sailing vessel and you
decide to sail it back to port. A storm suddenly rises up, threatening to
capsize the ship. You announce you have the seamanship skill, and the GM
has you make a penalized skill check to see if you can successfully re-rig the
sails and bring the ship out of danger. As the group holds its breath, you roll
the dice and they come up 03. You check your Wisdom score (13) and see
that your Chance to Improve Skill value is 05%. Voila, not only have you
saved your entire party, but your character has learned something significant
which will increase his ability to gain from his later coursework. The next
time your character takes the appropriate skill course during training, he can
add a +1 bonus to his mastery die roll. This bonus can be applied any
number of times as long as the character succeeds in different circumstances.
Keep a running tally between training on your record sheet so you don't lose
out on any bonuses later.
p. 101 - Under Table 7A Explanation the first paragraph should read as follows:
Initial Weapon Proficiencies: the number of weapon proficiency slots granted
to characters of that group at 1st level. The player must pay one (1) BP to fill
each proficiency slot with a weapon.

per round in each of these situations.
p. 118-119 – Only composite and great elven long bows can be modified to grant
a bonus to damage due to high Strength. Normal bows, composite or
otherwise, do not give strength bonuses, although they can be used by
characters with high strengths.
p. 118-119 - The weapons: Bloodthorn Stiletto; Rapier, petite; Sewing Needle;
and Peashooter Crossbow are all size Tiny (T). They may be used in one
hand by a pixie-fairy. All pixie-fairies may become proficient in these
weapons.

p. 136 - The second paragraph under Touch Spells and Combat should have the
following sentence added at the end: "Enemy creatures count as unwilling
targets, and have an AC of 10 with no dexterity bonus."
p. 138 - Follow through damage can normally only be used once per round, as it
is only applied when an opponent is brought to zero hit points. The original
attack roll must be sufficient to hit the new target. Remaining attacks can be
used to finish off the original target, but no additional follow through is
possible, unless one of the following is true:
a) The downed monster is healed above zero hit points.
b) The attacking PC is a samurai and is applying follow through from a
second target he has knocked to zero hit points.
p. 140 - Dark Knights can turn Paladins as a cleric 5 experience levels lower. A
good cleric can turn Dark Knights at an effective experience level 3 levels
lower than their own level. A Paladin can turn a Dark Knight as a cleric 5
experience levels lower than his own.

p. 191 - The spell Heat Seeking Fist of Thunder should have the following text:
This spell creates a disembodied hand that rushes toward an open flame and
explodes with magical energy when it hits. The spell requires an open flame
at least as large as a torch. When the spell is successfully cast, all those
within 20 feet of the target flame take 1d4 damage per level of the caster, or
half that with a successful saving throw. The damage done is sonic in nature
and sounds like and extremely loud thunderclap. The target flame, if it is
inanimate, is extinguished when the spell is cast.

Effect should be 20ft. x 20ft.
p. 216 - Unless specifically stated otherwise in the monster description, all
special effects that are delivered by an attack are only delivered if the attack
does damage. If a venomous snake bites you but does not do damage, you
are not subject to the poison. If a Wraith hits you but Stoneskin prevents the
damage, it also prevents the level drain. The same applies to paralysis, death
attacks, etc., unless specifically stated otherwise in the ability description.
p. 222 - Feeblemind reduces one's Intelligence to 2.
p. 251 - For Prismatic Sphere, the Area of Effect should be 20ft. diameter sphere,

physical bodies or muscles.

Except as noted above, Insect Plague is the same as the fifth level cleric spell
Insect Plague (q.v.).
p. 307 - The paragraph under Course Difficulty should have the last three
sentences replaced by the following text:
When a course is completed the player makes a check against their Learning
Ability, as determined by their Intelligence, for that skill. The course
difficulty lists a modifier, which is added to the die roll. If the player rolls
equal to or less than his learning ability he successfully masters the course
and earns a roll of the Mastery Die.

give the PC the ability to read or write, nor does it require Reading/Writing.
GMs should apply modifiers in situations where the actual reading of a
poem is helpful in the interpretation if the PC cannot read it himself.
p. 327 - Looting, Basic: The Looting, Basic skill can effect 1,000 sq. feet in the
2d6 minutes time frame. This includes walls and any items that the looter
can access in that space. Looting will only recover valuable items if they are
there. Using the looting, basic skill does not increase the chance of breaking
or harming an item, but previously established conditions do apply. A
looting character is still subject to any monsters, traps or other barriers that
would prevent him from taking an item. Using the looting, basic skill is
appropriate for any character class to use.

without penalty. Clarification: This Talent does require the character to have
the move silently skill, and does not automatically allow any pixie fairy to fly
silently.
p. 339 - The Hide talent grants the ability to hide as a barbarian of the same
level's hide in natural surroundings ability.
p. 339 - The following Talent should follow Mace Bonus:
Magic Bonus: (5)
[Pixie fairies]
A character with this talent receives a plus one to all saving throws against
spells or other magical effects.
p. 339 - Use of the Magic Identification talent will only give a general
description of the item, but will not provide specifics such as the actual
bonus of an item or a command word. An NPC would charge at least 100 gp
per level for this service.

p. 339 - The talent Mining Sense should have the following text.
Mining Sense: (5)
[Dwarves, Gnomes, Gnomelings, Drow]
A character with this talent is familiar with mining, tunneling and
stonework. By concentrating for one round the character can: Detect grade or
slope in passage (1-5 on 1d6); Detect new tunnel/passage construction (1-5
on 1d6); Detect sliding/shifting walls or rooms (1-4 on 1d6); Detect
stonework traps, pits, and deadfalls (1-3 on 1d6); Determine approximate
depth underground (1-4 on 1d6); Detect unsafe walls, ceiling, and floors (1-7
on 1d10); Determine approximate direction underground (1-3 on 1d6). If the
character already possesses one of the above talents, i.e. it was granted as a
bonus racial talent, they instead receive a +1 modifier to all checks of that
type. However, a maximum result on the die always fails in these instances.
p. 339 - Photographic Memory: This gives the caster the ability to memorize and
cast one additional spell per spell level. For dual class casters this provides
one additional spell per spell level per class. This talent only grants magic-
users the ability to memorize an additional spell. Clerics, druids, and rangers
gain no spell memorization benefit for their clerical spells (rangers, bards,
bounty hunters, and certain zealots still benefit for their magic-user spells).
Magic-users who don't memorize spells, such as Painted Mages, do not gain
additional spells from Photographic Memory. Use of Photographic Memory
to recall a document requires more than a glance or a distant viewing. The
character must be able to read the document to recall its contents. This talent
requires the character to concentrate on a specific page or scene in order to
memorize a "still photo." It will not, for example, allow a character to
automatically find his way out of a dungeon without the use of a map simply
because the character passed that way before.
p. 339 - The Resistance talent is available to Dwarves, Humans not Dwarves,
Humans, Elves, Half-elves. In addition, the line "(Full-blooded elves get a
90% resistance)" is extraneous and should be removed.
p. 339 - The Freeze talent for gnomes has a BP cost of 5. The description is
incorrect.
p. 340 - The Seeking, Grasping Hands talent can be used once per day, and may
affect any creature only once ever.
p. 340 - Elves are not resistant to Seeking, Grasping Hands.
p. 340 - Sixth Sense can only detect actual things, not impressions left by things
such as footprints or cart tracks. It also cannot determine the intent of things,
so it would not warn a PC with this talent that a detected creature was about
to attack. Infravision does not affect Sixth Sense. The range of Sixth Sense is
20 feet.
p. 340 - The following Talent should follow Tough Hide:
Track Game Animal: (5)
[Grunge Elves]
A character with this Talent receives a +10 bonus to the track game and
identify animal by tracks skills. The character must possess these skills to
gain the benefits.
Coupons - general: Character creation counts as one session. Only one player
coupon (and/or one GM coupon) can be played during character creation.
Coupon - Polyglot: If used with the Take After talent (GMG p. 72), this coupon
eliminates the 30 BP cost. However, it must still be used during character
creation, and the PC must be created using the gene pool method (GMG p.
17). In addition, note that this coupon does not allow the PC to subvert
genetics by having his parents be a completely different race (PC cannot be a
full-blooded gnome with two elven parents, for example). Finally, Polyglot
allows a PC to take a class-restricted talent, but this does not change the way
that talent performs. For example, a dual class human cleric/magic-user
could take the Spell Razor talent (SSG p. 55), but it would only affect his
magic-user spells, not his clerical spells.

p. 78 - On Table 4H: Illegitimate Birth Table, a roll of 06-30 should correspond
to "Birth was a result of rape. Father unknown. [-5 to beginning Honor]" and
a roll of 31-60 should correspond to "Mother was a prostitute. Father
unknown. [-10 to beginning Honor]." Also, a roll of 01-05 should have [-3
to beginning Honor] added to its description. In the case of a result of 91-
100, a birth by a surrogate mother, the father's identity is always known.
p. 78 - The Status of Parents table must be used for each known parent,
including the deceased.
p. 79 – Alternate Sibling Tables were printed in HackJournal 15.
p. 80 - Under Leftover Building Points, the text says that you can convert excess
BPs into 25 fractional ability points or 25 gp. At this point, you may only
convert them into 25 gp. You cannot adjust your Ability Scores after Step 8
of the character creation process.
p. 85 - The numbers listed in the honor column are the upper limit for that row.
Thus, the row labeled fifteen is for honor values of 11-15.
p. 86 - Honor cannot be burned during character creation.
p. 86 - An honor purge can only be used to avoid the specific action that caused
the character's death. It does not allow a character to go back in time to

p. 92 - Table 6D should have the following numbering:
31-45 - Vision Impaired, Far Sighted
46-55 - Blind, one eye
56-70 - Vision Impaired, Near Sighted
p. 92 - A metal leg could be heavier than a wooden leg and could rust if not
properly maintained.
p. 94 - The following sentence should be inserted into the description of the Male
Pattern Baldness flaw, after the first sentence:
"If a female character rolls this flaw, she must immediately re-roll on Table
6C, and once on the minor mental quirk table 6F, because of the trauma."
p. 97 - On the Obsession/Compulsion table, entry 17 should read "Compulsion to
accumulate as many jewels as possible," not "Compulsion to accumulate as
many books or scrolls as possible."
p. 98 - On the Extra Personality Table, the entry for a roll of 21-24 should be
"Young adult or middle-aged member of the same sex," not "Young adult or
middle-aged member of the opposite sex."
p. 100 - The Skill Sets list on p. 71 of the GMG supersedes this list.
p. 101 - Under Obtaining New Skills, 1. Building Points, the following
paragraph should be inserted after the first.
During the character creation process, the character rolls the mastery die
once for each expenditure of the BP cost of the skill. For example, if a
character buys a skill at three times the cost, he rolls the mastery die three
times and his honor die three times and adds the total to the relevant ability
(See Appendix F: Skills, Talents and Proficiencies List). Note that you add
the relevant ability only once. There is no limit to the number of mastery die
and honor die rolls that can be purchased, but the skill level cannot exceed
125%.
p. 101 - Under Improving Skills, the current paragraph should be replaced by the
following paragraph:
Skills currently possessed can also be improved through formal and informal
instruction (just like gaining new skills as described in Chapter 11). One
special way to increase the amount that a skill is improved during training is
to use it in an appropriate circumstance for dramatic or important effect.
Anytime you roll under your Chance to Improve Skill value without
modifiers (see Table 1E: Wisdom) when making a skill mastery check, your
character may have learned something new (you'll need to ask your GM).
For example, let's say your party commandeers a sailing vessel and you
decide to sail it back to port. A storm suddenly rises up, threatening to
capsize the ship. You announce you have the seamanship skill, and the GM
has you make a penalized skill check to see if you can successfully re-rig the
sails and bring the ship out of danger. As the group holds its breath, you roll
the dice and they come up 03. You check your Wisdom score (13) and see
that your Chance to Improve Skill value is 05%. Voila, not only have you
saved your entire party, but your character has learned something significant
which will increase his ability to gain from his later coursework. The next
time your character takes the appropriate skill course during training, he can
add a +1 bonus to his mastery die roll. This bonus can be applied any
number of times as long as the character succeeds in different circumstances.
Keep a running tally between training on your record sheet so you don't lose
out on any bonuses later.
p. 101 - Under Table 7A Explanation the first paragraph should read as follows:
Initial Weapon Proficiencies: the number of weapon proficiency slots granted
to characters of that group at 1st level. The player must pay one (1) BP to fill
each proficiency slot with a weapon.
p. 102 - A fighter can only specialize in a single weapon, but could specialize in
both melee and ranged use of weapons such as daggers and hand axes.
p. 104 - Under Treasure Types, the entry on coins should have the following
sentence added to the end of the first paragraph: "10 coins have a combined
weight of one pound."
p. 111 - Table 9C should have the following entry before wineskin:

"The buckler can be used, without penalty, with two weapons, missile weapons,
and two-handed weapons. It grants its +1 bonus to AC against one melee attack
per round in each of these situations.
p. 118-119 – Only composite and great elven long bows can be modified to grant
a bonus to damage due to high Strength. Normal bows, composite or
otherwise, do not give strength bonuses, although they can be used by
characters with high strengths.
p. 118-119 - The weapons: Bloodthorn Stiletto; Rapier, petite; Sewing Needle;
and Peashooter Crossbow are all size Tiny (T). They may be used in one
hand by a pixie-fairy. All pixie-fairies may become proficient in these
weapons.
p. 119 - In the description of crossbows, the following sentence should be
inserted into the first paragraph: "The peashooter crossbow can be used by a
pixie fairy of any class, regardless of class weapon restrictions, as long as
they purchase the weapon proficiency."
p. 119 - Short bows cannot use sheaf arrows.
p. 119 - Anyone that is hit by a full tankard (hurled) must make a saving throw
vs. breath weapon with a +2 bonus or be blinded for 1d4-1 rounds.
p. 119 - Large characters using the bastard sword in one hand use the two-hand
damage value.
p. 120 – Table 9V: The Great Elven Long Bow has an ROF of 1.
p. 133 – Table 12C: The Hasted modifier should be -2 as listed in the spell
description.
p. 136 - The second paragraph under Touch Spells and Combat should have the
following sentence added at the end: "Enemy creatures count as unwilling
targets, and have an AC of 10 with no dexterity bonus."
p. 138 - Follow through damage can normally only be used once per round, as it
is only applied when an opponent is brought to zero hit points. The original
attack roll must be sufficient to hit the new target. Remaining attacks can be
used to finish off the original target, but no additional follow through is
possible, unless one of the following is true:
a) The downed monster is healed above zero hit points.
b) The attacking PC is a samurai and is applying follow through from a
second target he has knocked to zero hit points.
p. 140 - Dark Knights can turn Paladins as a cleric 5 experience levels lower. A
good cleric can turn Dark Knights at an effective experience level 3 levels
lower than their own level. A Paladin can turn a Dark Knight as a cleric 5
experience levels lower than his own.
p. 161 - Whitmore's Delicious Deception should be Wrygal's Delicious
Deception.
p. 166 - Stitch can be used to repair damage to armor or equipment caused by a
fumble, but cannot restore armor hit points.
p. 179 - Faerie Phantoms creates 1d6 phantoms per level of the caster.
p. 182 - Mend can be used to repair damage to armor or equipment caused by a
fumble, but cannot restore armor hit points.
p. 184 - The Push spell should have a range of 10 ft. + 1 ft./level, not 1 ft. + 1
ft./level.

p. 186 - In the description for Wrygal's Delicious Deception, the phrase "When
Whitmore's Delicious Deception" should be "When Wrygal's Delicious
Deception".
p. 191 - The spell Heat Seeking Fist of Thunder should have the following text:
This spell creates a disembodied hand that rushes toward an open flame and
explodes with magical energy when it hits. The spell requires an open flame
at least as large as a torch. When the spell is successfully cast, all those
within 20 feet of the target flame take 1d4 damage per level of the caster, or
half that with a successful saving throw. The damage done is sonic in nature
and sounds like and extremely loud thunderclap. The target flame, if it is
inanimate, is extinguished when the spell is cast.
p. 193 - In the example, a Magic Missile of Skewering would do 3d4+3 hp
damage to the second target, not 3d3+3.
p. 203 - The Paralyzation spell should have a range of 10ft./level and the Area of
Effect should be 20ft. x 20ft.
p. 216 - Unless specifically stated otherwise in the monster description, all
special effects that are delivered by an attack are only delivered if the attack
does damage. If a venomous snake bites you but does not do damage, you
are not subject to the poison. If a Wraith hits you but Stoneskin prevents the
damage, it also prevents the level drain. The same applies to paralysis, death
attacks, etc., unless specifically stated otherwise in the ability description.
p. 222 - Feeblemind reduces one's Intelligence to 2.
p. 251 - For Prismatic Sphere, the Area of Effect should be 20ft. diameter sphere,
not 2ft. Diameter.
p. 255 - The reverse of Light is the same as the second level magic-user spell
Darkness, 15' Radius, except that it has the stat block of the Light spell.
p. 257 - The Diminished Rite spell can be used any length of time after the
death, as long as the body has not decayed significantly.
p. 257 - Diminished Rite will not work on creatures not affected by a Raise Dead
spell.
p. 259 - The Rigor-Mortis spell affects all creatures except those that do not have
physical bodies or muscles.
p. 275 - The Animal Friendship spell affects only animals of neutral alignment,
not those with no alignment (as all animals are aligned).
p. 287 - The text for the spell Insect Plague should be as follows:
Except as noted above, Insect Plague is the same as the fifth level cleric spell
Insect Plague (q.v.).
p. 307 - The paragraph under Course Difficulty should have the last three
sentences replaced by the following text:
When a course is completed the player makes a check against their Learning
Ability, as determined by their Intelligence, for that skill. The course
difficulty lists a modifier, which is added to the die roll. If the player rolls
equal to or less than his learning ability he successfully masters the course
and earns a roll of the Mastery Die.
p. 308 - The footnotes labeled *,**,*** under the Arcane Skills table refer to
skills that no longer exist. They should be ignored.
p. 308 - The arcane skills should have the following Skill Difficulties:
Arcane Lore +20%
Divine Lore +20%
Spellcraft +25%
p. 309 - The skill Musical Instrument should be removed from the table Tasks:
Artisan and Performing Arts.
p. 310-311 - The skills Pinch and Trap Sweep (Full Sweep) should have a BP
cost of 1.
p. 310 - Liar, Skilled should have a Relevant Ability of (INT+CHA)/2.
p. 312 - The talent Experience Point Bonus should be restricted to Humans and
Gnomelings, not Humans and Pixie Fairies.

the initial target have not yet elapsed. The skill can be used with either melee
or ranged weapons.
p. 321 - The Poetry, Writing and Comprehension/Interpretation skill does not
give the PC the ability to read or write, nor does it require Reading/Writing.
GMs should apply modifiers in situations where the actual reading of a
poem is helpful in the interpretation if the PC cannot read it himself.
p. 327 - Looting, Basic: The Looting, Basic skill can effect 1,000 sq. feet in the
2d6 minutes time frame. This includes walls and any items that the looter
can access in that space. Looting will only recover valuable items if they are
there. Using the looting, basic skill does not increase the chance of breaking
or harming an item, but previously established conditions do apply. A
looting character is still subject to any monsters, traps or other barriers that
would prevent him from taking an item. Using the looting, basic skill is
appropriate for any character class to use.

[(Strength+Wisdom)/2 / Sophisticated / 1 B.P.]
A character with this skill knows the proper procedure for obtaining the hide
from a dead animal or beast. He knows what skills to use, how to treat and
store the hide, and which part of the hides are the most valuable or usable.
He can also estimate the amount of hide needed for various items such as
boots, gloves, cloaks, etc. The character must have a sharp knife and an
animal to skin in order to get the hide. Treating the hide takes more tools.
Prerequisite: None
Mastery Die: 1d8
Course Cost: 650 gp.
Course Difficulty: 5%
p. 331 - In the description for the skills swimming and swimming dog paddle,
the reference for the swimming rules should be the GMG, not chapter 14 or

p. 337 - An ambidextrous character can use two weapons of different size
categories without penalty.
p. 337 - Acrobatic Skill Suite should simply be the Acrobatic talent. A PC with
this talent gets +5% to the Tightrope Walking and Tumbling skills if he
takes those skills. Monks with this talent get a +1 to their AC in melee
combat, just like other classes.
p. 338 - The Detect Secret Doors talent is available to Humans, not Elves.
p. 338 - The following Talent should follow Faerie Kind Martial Arts:
Flutter: (2)

the move silently skill, and does not automatically allow any pixie fairy to fly
silently.

level's hide in natural surroundings ability.

description of the item, but will not provide specifics such as the actual
bonus of an item or a command word. An NPC would charge at least 100 gp
per level for this service.

p. 339 - The talent Mining Sense should have the following text.
Mining Sense: (5)
[Dwarves, Gnomes, Gnomelings, Drow]
A character with this talent is familiar with mining, tunneling and
stonework. By concentrating for one round the character can: Detect grade or
slope in passage (1-5 on 1d6); Detect new tunnel/passage construction (1-5
on 1d6); Detect sliding/shifting walls or rooms (1-4 on 1d6); Detect
stonework traps, pits, and deadfalls (1-3 on 1d6); Determine approximate
depth underground (1-4 on 1d6); Detect unsafe walls, ceiling, and floors (1-7
on 1d10); Determine approximate direction underground (1-3 on 1d6). If the
character already possesses one of the above talents, i.e. it was granted as a
bonus racial talent, they instead receive a +1 modifier to all checks of that
type. However, a maximum result on the die always fails in these instances.
p. 339 - Photographic Memory: This gives the caster the ability to memorize and
cast one additional spell per spell level. For dual class casters this provides
one additional spell per spell level per class. This talent only grants magic-
users the ability to memorize an additional spell. Clerics, druids, and rangers
gain no spell memorization benefit for their clerical spells (rangers, bards,
bounty hunters, and certain zealots still benefit for their magic-user spells).
Magic-users who don't memorize spells, such as Painted Mages, do not gain
additional spells from Photographic Memory. Use of Photographic Memory
to recall a document requires more than a glance or a distant viewing. The
character must be able to read the document to recall its contents. This talent
requires the character to concentrate on a specific page or scene in order to
memorize a "still photo." It will not, for example, allow a character to
automatically find his way out of a dungeon without the use of a map simply
because the character passed that way before.
p. 339 - The Resistance talent is available to Dwarves, Humans not Dwarves,
Humans, Elves, Half-elves. In addition, the line "(Full-blooded elves get a
90% resistance)" is extraneous and should be removed.
p. 339 - The Freeze talent for gnomes has a BP cost of 5. The description is
incorrect.
p. 340 - The Seeking, Grasping Hands talent can be used once per day, and may
affect any creature only once ever.
p. 340 - Elves are not resistant to Seeking, Grasping Hands.
p. 340 - Sixth Sense can only detect actual things, not impressions left by things
such as footprints or cart tracks. It also cannot determine the intent of things,
so it would not warn a PC with this talent that a detected creature was about
to attack. Infravision does not affect Sixth Sense. The range of Sixth Sense is
20 feet.
p. 340 - The following Talent should follow Tough Hide:
Track Game Animal: (5)
[Grunge Elves]
A character with this Talent receives a +10 bonus to the track game and
identify animal by tracks skills. The character must possess these skills to
gain the benefits.
Coupons - general: Character creation counts as one session. Only one player
coupon (and/or one GM coupon) can be played during character creation.
Coupon - Polyglot: If used with the Take After talent (GMG p. 72), this coupon
eliminates the 30 BP cost. However, it must still be used during character
creation, and the PC must be created using the gene pool method (GMG p.
17). In addition, note that this coupon does not allow the PC to subvert
genetics by having his parents be a completely different race (PC cannot be a
full-blooded gnome with two elven parents, for example). Finally, Polyglot
allows a PC to take a class-restricted talent, but this does not change the way
that talent performs. For example, a dual class human cleric/magic-user
could take the Spell Razor talent (SSG p. 55), but it would only affect his
magic-user spells, not his clerical spells.
