QTR 28 errata

[Mephisto of the FoS]

You kind of need to, to qualify for the PrC. ^^;
It takes 8 ranks in Knowledge (arcana) and 4 ranks in Knowledge (Ravenloft) to qualify. Add to that Paddock's +3 bonus from Intelligence, and he'd need to have Knowledge (Ravenloft) +7 before he could even dip his toe in FoS.

Oh I have already added the plus from abilities... I did that so that someone shouldn't go around the skill rules to see which ability applies to which skill. But I just realised I have to put an extra rank in arcana cause I 've put +10 and his plus from int is 3 so that makes it 7 ranks.

That looks much better. Iron Will was the feat that you added to help Cedrik survive the Nightmare Lands? Good fluff crunch synergy.

The Master Sage works really well in Ravenloft. Another class from Dragonlance 3.5 that works well in Ravenloft is the Nightstalker. A spirit medium with a ghostly companion? Yes please.

Iron Will (+2 Will) and Open Mind (+4 Madness), but he had those from the beginning

Within "Scenes from a Starving Land", please replace the text of the section entitled "The Swords at Fort Grasu" (currently starting on page 315) with the following:

Fort Grasu was built in 735BC at the behest of the Dervich Merchants' Guild, which was tired of losing their best wares to the bandits of the Jackal's Run. The original commander, Captain Grasu, was killed by kobolds in 738BC, and the fort was officially named in his honor. Captain Anzya took command that summer, and she has held the fort ever since.

In 739BC, Captain Anzya and her Swords tracked down and killed the bandit known as the Jackal. According to rumor, the Jackal's widow has subsequently taken his position and his nickname. (This is traditional; the most prominent bandit in the Run always claims that title.) However, the new Jackal has proven to be a much more moderate raider than her predecessor. She claims only a third of all food transported through the Run. Many merchants simply surrender her share and continue on without violence.

Captain Anzya has been tasked with hunting down the Jackal, but she has no intention of succeeding at her task. After all, she is the Jackal. The story of the Jackal’s widow is entirely fictional, a rumor that Captain Anzya spread to obscure her own assumption of the role. In addition, her second-in-command, Lieutenant Deskha, is a wereleopard. Years ago Deshka was orphaned by Swords from Zhukar but taken in by Captain Anzya, and Fort Grasu has become her home. Those Swords who are loyal to Captain Anzya know and keep her secrets; those who prove insufficiently loyal never learn any secrets, and they find themselves reassigned to Zhukar at the end of the summer.

Attentive observers may note that the villages of the Jackal’s Run have experienced less starvation during the winter since the latest Jackal claimed the title.

Copied over from the other errata thread:

As Jeremy16 mentioned in his review on the Conch Shell of Sorrows...

The Conch Shell of Sorrows
]Framing Fiction - I like seeing the Umbra make an appearance, but that afterword should have been placed, you know, at the end.

I agree so if it is possible place the fiction section from pages 347 and 349 in the end of the article. If not it is OK.
Thanks.

OK, sorry for the delay, lots of projects here, you'll see soon.

I have been implementing the last corrections found here.

New version is out next weekend, if anyone would like to add something.

Also please chek that I did add a note under your post that the correction was made (I don't think I forgot any, but you never know).

[Joël of the FoS]
