Error in SRD?

[gamesmeister]

Section 4 Magic

Casting Spells:

"If the Runecasting test fails, the spell does not take effect and the character still loses the Magic Points"

However, under Fumbles, it says:

"Rather than losing a single Magic Point for failing to cast the spell, the spellcaster loses a number of Magic Points equal to its Magnitude."

As I don't get my rulebook until Thursday, I don't know what it says in there, but when you fail a runecasting roll without a fumble, do you lose all the required MPs or just one?

If you fail a runecasting check you lose one magic point.

Another error: the Tracker-profession is missing in the SRD.

 

[FatPob]

Is that just not named as ranger? As ranger is not in the main book, and has the same skills etc..

Another error: the Tracker-profession is missing in the SRD.

It's not missing, just refiled under "Ranger".

As for the "loses all MPs" - a mistake indeed.

 

[DirkD]

Ok, then it should be corrected in the companion srd as well. The tracker is still being used in the "available profession"-section of the new cultural backgrounds.

It's not an error, as far as I can tell. It's a choice. The SRD need not match the book exactly.

 

[Rurik]

I think DirkD's point is that the Companion SRD refers to a 'Tracker' profession, and the Core SRD only has 'Ranger', but no 'Tracker', it should be corrected in one of the SRDs so they match.

So, to make it clear:
Pass a runecasting roll, lose X MP, determined by the spell.
Fail a runecasting roll, lose 1 MP.
Botch a runecasting roll, lose X MP, as if you cast it, but it fails anyhow.

Yes
