Fourth Edition Errata, Clarifications, and FAQs

[Jaracove]

Ok thank you.

One for the Errata:

Mystic Paths p363:
Bark Shield: Living armor. As with bark armor, bard shields were originally created by the Namdroth, woven from hursthen bark. Like fernweave, the armor is living, and provides its Mystic Armor bonus only when watered once every three days. However, bark loses moisture more easily than fernweave and once dried out it cannot be revived.

It should be Mystic Defense, not Mystic Armor.

"Thread Rank Seven
Deed: The owner must publicly show up or humiliate a victor of the tournament
held in Blood Wood.
Effect: The sword now inflicts +3 damage points for each additional success on
the Attack test."

Shouldn't this be +3 Damage Steps?

Companion p. 337/338 Air Imbued: Each air mask in a lower rank has the Great Leap ability, just this one is missing it. Is this intended?

It has flying instead.

Don't know if gm's read everything in this forum, so here a direct link to something which seems to need an errata: viewtopic.php?p=17937#p17937

Hello Panda,

a question regarding Characteristics Bonuses came up in the german forum.

As your character advances in Circle, he automatically gains bonuses to some of his characteristics. Descriptions of these bonuses appear under each Circle.
Defense bonuses permanently increase your character’s Physical, Mystic, or Social Defense by the amount listed. Only the highest bonus applies to a given Defense rating.
Initiative bonuses permanently increase your character’s Initiative Step by the number listed.
Recovery bonuses permanently increase the number of Recovery tests per day your character can make.
Mystic Armor bonuses permanently increase the character’s Mystic Defense rating.

and

Bonuses to Defense Ratings do not stack across multiple Disciplines. He only usesthe highest bonus from each Discipline. For example, when a Sixth Circle Archer advances to Second Circle as a Scout, he does not receive the +1 bonus to his Physical Defense granted by the Scout Discipline; he already has a +2 Physical Defense bonus as an Archer. If, instead, that character were a Second Circle Swordmaster, he would receive the +1 bonus to his Social Defense as he does not have any Social Defense bonus as a Sixth Circle Archer.

I know the simplified rule that bonuses of the same source (e.g. Disciplines) don't stack. But here it is highlighted that only the bonus to the Defense Rating doesn't stack. So do the other bonuses available through Disciplines stack?

Greetings
Belenus

None of them stack.

Ok, just as thought. But I guess it should be fixed in the book. Just removing "to Defense Ratings" would be enough
