The Open Day was really useful and it was great to see RQ on sale. It is a solid hardback rulebook (thicker board than RQ3), clearly printed and a simplified rules system which is still Runequest. Well done guys.
I haven't yet been able to do a complete page-by-page, but I'll put what I find here as I come across it...
---------
p20 - Opposed Tests - Both Characters Fail the lowest wins. So this means that a character with 80% in a skill who rolls an 81 loses to a character with 30% in a skill who rolls a 79.
>>>Is this really correct? Or is it the character who failed by the least? Discussion on broken math continuing
----------
p33 - Close Combat Weapons table. War maul and hammer are out of sequence. Stats look ok, though.
>>>Typo
---------
p37ff - Long bow. Is normally single word in English as in "longbow"
>>>Typo? Or specific definition required?
---------
p39 - Armour table. Total skill penalty for "Helmet" is stated as 4% which contradicts the text on p38.
>>>Should be 5%?
---------
p39 - Armour table. AP, total skill penalty for leather hauberk appear to duplicate the Heavy leather but cost is only 150.
>>>Probably should be 1 AP, ENC 1, Cost ???, TSP -2%
---------
p43 Potions table incorrectly labelled as "Crystals" archer
>>>Copy/paste error
---------
p47/p50/p51 - Combat the Dodge and Parry tables and combat confusing, multiple rolls unsure, Reaction conditions not clear.
>>> Cleared up by MS. See http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=19714
---------
p61 - Combat Example "Fego" receives -7 hit points to his chest but dies instantly.
>>>p55 states he should get a Resilience test to die and another to stay conscious.
Para 4&5 - repeated/rephrased info???
---------
p73 - Firearrow missing the Duration trait (probably Duration 1)
>>>Without this limitation, Firearrow becomes incredibly powerful - "Firearrow" factories operating round the clock and freely-available enchanted arrows comes to mind. See Multimissile.
---------
p77 - Speedart is stated as being progressive but is missing the Progressive trait.
p77 - Speedart also appears to be missing a Duration trait
>>>See Firearrow above. Duration 1?
---------
p81 - Runelords - Duties refers to Runepriests.
>>>Typo, but should income donation be more than priests?
---------
p112 - Elf The Long Bow is listed as 1d10 damage as opposed to 2d8 damage in the weapon table. Siggtryg
>>>Should elves use Nomad bows or longbows?
---------
