Zingaran Trumpets are listed on the appropriate table but the description is cut from the paragraph detailing pirate codes on p.342. We need to know how they work if we're going to use them. The text was most likely deleted in the layout program, but must exist in the original manuscript...

i agree too, and there will be no necessity to wait for 2nd printing. i'm living in eastern europe and i had a great pain in obtaining this book :> boot finally got it and i'll run campaign anyway.
Just got mine and I did catch one error, glaring to my mind, though it shouldn't affect gameplay. 
Under "Animals" we have "Deer" on pg 302 and "Elk" on page 304. In reality what we call an elk in the US is the same as the European Red Deer. They have an Elk over there, but it is the same as our Moose. Europe does not have a whitetail deer or mule deer, but instead has a fallow deer and roe deer.
Deer
Yeah, I know, quibbling, one would be hard pressed to make a game where this mattered.

So an Irish Elk is really a moose?
Or do the Irish call it an Irish Deer? Or are Irish not Europeans? :wink:Iron_Chef said:
I got the impression that they have AP0 if it is not listed. A cursory glance last night convinced me the animals without AP listed probably would have AP0 if it were listed. There are some problems, however.
Wolves, Dogs, Deer, Giant Spider, Hyenas, Snakes, Badgers, Panthers don't have it and probably should not.
Bears, Boars do have it and probably should.
Cattle stampedes, Horses hooves do not have it, but probably should.
Regardless, it would be more convenient, given the strength of some of these animals, if their AP were listed regardless of whether it is believed their natural weapons would have an AP or not. (i.e., with a Str of 18, a Hyborian warhorse, should have AP4, even if its hooves do not qualify for more than AP0).

Alces alces is both the American moose and the European elk.
The Irish elk (Megaloceros) is apparently neither exclusively Irish nor an elk:

The scale on the map in the book cover (and online) starts with 0, then 1 "tick" over, it says 150, and 3 "ticks" over, it says 300. Based on the other "ticks" on the scale, the one that says 150 should actually read 100.

On p. 252, it says that a determined rider on a fast horse could get from Shamar to Khorshemish in 12 hours?! It goes on to say that Shamar to Tarantia is fully five days' ride. However, Tarantia is a LOT closer on the map to Shamar, than Khorshemish is to Shamar?!
Roughly according the scale at the bottom of the map (which itself has an error, to address in a separate thread), from S to T is 600 miles, from S to K is 1000 miles, so what's up?
It seems that a horse could not possibly make the Shamar to Khorshemish trip in that time - perhaps this was a quote from a book, but the maps do not reflect this bit of geographical knowledge?

The Man-Ape has HD 6d8+12, but with 29hp in parentheses. Either it should have 39hp or less HD. Also, the text of the Man-Ape says "Gray Ape", not "Grey Ape".
The Grey Ape has HD 6d8+18, but with 35hp in parentheses. Either it should have 45hp or less HD.

NEar the ned of the sorcery chapter, the tables for the example acolytes are messed up. The Khitan for instance, seems to have access to spells from 4 diff schools by lvl 5, when in fact by level 5 a scholar can only have spels from 3 schools at most.
I emailed the Rulesmasters a couple of questions that the forums and FAQ had not answered. Here's the reply (from MongooseBob, unless there are more Bobs working for Mongoose):
SHOT ON THE RUN
The Gunderland Pike-and-Shield Fighting feat described on page 117 states that "The Large Shield grants a parry bonus of +2 rather than the usual +3", but the Large Shield described on page 148 has a +4 Shield Bonus. Should the feat grant +2 rather than +4, or +3 rather than +4? In the description of the Gunderland Pike-and-Shield Fighting feat, the book mentions the shield's reduced "parry bonus". Does this refer to the Shield Bonus? In other words, does this reduced "parry bonus" apply to dodging ranged attacks as well?
Is a prone character considered flat-footed and/or to have lost their Dexterity bonus to DV and/or to have lost their parry and dodge bonuses?
The table on page 135 lists the Bossonian Longbow as having AP 5. However, the "Strength Ratings for Bows" sidebar on page 141 implies that it has AP 6. Which is the correct value?
