The Official Typo Sweep

This is the official catch net for all the typos you catch in the new Core Rulebook. Wherever the typo is, if you spot it, call it here.

Format

Have your post use the following format.

Page number
Section
Paragraph
Line
Actual sentence with typo
Suggested correction
 
Page: 215
Section: Passage and Freight Costs Table
Type: Parsec 6 row numbers seem like a typo (Going from Cr4500 to Cr47000)
Suggestion: Double-check numbers on the table, looks like too many 0s on the last row in general
 
Page: 106
Section: Software Table
Paragraph: Security Software Row

Typo: Security programs defend against intrusion. Rating 0 requires an Average (+0) Electronics (computers) check to successfully bypass. Difficult (-2) difficulty Hard (-4) difficulty Formidable (-6) difficulty

Correction: Security programs defend against intrusion. Rating 0 requires an Average (8+) Electronics (computers) check to successfully bypass. Difficult (10+) difficulty Very Difficult (12+) difficulty Formidable (14+) difficulty

Should use the new Task Difficulty style.
 
Page 12: Weapons box of flowchart reads "Weapons can be gained suring creation" and I am pretty sure that should be "during creation".
 
Hmmm...exported and running spell & grammar check. I'm going to assume all the 'S's in words instead of 'Z's are an U.K. English thing, just like 'OU' where us cheeky Americans would use only an 'O'. Never noticed the 'S' thing before. :) While I'm double checking by running a Google search, if any of these are the correct spelling under U.K. English, I apologize! I mean..um...I apologise! ;)

P. 12 in the Finances box - missing space between "earn a lot"
Current: You may earna lot of money during your Career, but it will disappear quickly!
Corrected: You may earn a lot of money during your Career, but it will disappear quickly!

P. 12 in Name box - recomend instead of recommend
Current: We recomend naming your Traveller before anything else. Trust us on this!
Corrected: We recommend naming your Traveller before anything else. Trust us on this!

P. 13 Character Example - veternary instead of veterinary
Under Skills
Current: Animals (veternary)
Corrected: Animals (veterinary)

P. 18 Second paragraph - Not sure on this one, travelling, when it probably should be traveling?
Current: You can either apply to the draft, and be randomly sent to one of the military services, or you may spend that term travelling through Charted Space as a Drifter, without career or purpose.
Correction: You can either apply to the draft, and be randomly sent to one of the military services, or you may spend that term traveling through Charted Space as a Drifter, without career or purpose.

How do we look at travel vs. travell, travels vs travells, traveled vs. travelled, traveling vs. travelling?

P.20-43 Career Listings - No page numbers throughout. Possibly as intended.

P.35 (I think) Navy Career Mishap Table.
Result #2
Current: You are court-martialled and discharged.
Corrected: You are court-martialed and discharged.

P.87 Page Header
Current: Experiece
Correct Experience

P.134 Trageting vs. targeting
10th paragraph
Current: The effect of an attack roll is never added to damage if the weapon is trageting something or a smaller scale.
Corrected: The effect of an attack roll is never added to damage if the weapon is targeting something or a smaller scale.

Alright, I'm trying to type this as I run the spellcheck, and I see I really need to just create a separate document to upload later. This is it for now.

Edit: I've seen focussed a few times now, and specialities. I'm guessing those are the correct U.K. English spellings and proper usage. Removing those "errors" from my list.
 
I've noticed the following:

On Page 22, Army Career Progress table is in fact the Agent Career Progress table.
The career summary table on page 19 gives the correct information.

On Page 27, Drifter Events Table, Event 9,
Line starting with "On a 1-2" ends with a double full stop..

p.8, Characteristics, Mental Characteristics, line 3: "Education (END)...", should be "Education (EDU)...".
 
Would this also be the place to post discrepancies that aren't exactly typos? Here's examples of what I'm talking about:

P. 16 Skills and Training section.
First paragraph, first sentence states there are "four or five skill tables", but then goes on to listen only 4.
Current: Each career has four or five skill tables associated with it – Personal Development, Service Skills, Specialist Skills (divided into three sub-tables corresponding to assignments) and Advanced Education.
Probable Corrected: Each career has four or five skill tables associated with it – Personal Development, Service Skills, Specialist Skills (divided into three sub-tables corresponding to assignments), Officer Skills, and Advanced Education.

P46 Ships with Benefits Section
First Paragraph, forth sentence (I think)
Missing statement of how often character gets the Cr25000 pension for trading in his 25% of a ship. Compared to the ship share trade in for a Cr1000 pension a year, I'd assume it's Cr25000 a year. So...
Current: The other players will receive an additional pension of Cr25000 for every time they rolled a ship as a benefit.
Possible Corrected: The other players will receive an additional pension of Cr25000 every yearfor every time they rolled a ship as a benefit.

Also I'm finding numerous references to "See Starcraft Operations chapter" throughout the book. Isn't this supposed to be Spacecraft? These can be found on P.46 4th/5th paragraph, P.63 first paragraph of the Astrogation skill, P.65 first paragraph of the Gunner skill, P.68 first paragraph of the Pilot skill, P.69 first paragraph of the Steward skill, and P.134 in the third paragraph.

Task Difficulties
1st Paragraph

Actual sentence with typo: "Erik has one level of Carouse, which gives him DM+2, an INT of 9 (for an additional DM+1), giving him a final of DM+3. He rolls 2D+3 and tries to get 10 or more."

Suggested correction: "Erik has one level of Carouse, which gives him DM+1, an INT of 9 (for an additional DM+1), giving him a final of DM+2. He rolls 2D+2 and tries to get 10 or more."

Pg 59
Boon and Bane

As written:
"If a Traveller has help, such as good tools, competent
aids or other beneficial circumstances, he receives a
Boon. This means he rolls an extra dice during a check
and discards the lowest.

If a Traveller is hindered in a check, such as with
poor tools, a dimly lit environment or other negative
circumstances, he receives a Bane. This means he rolls
an extra dice during a check and discards the highest."

If I understand the intent of the rule, then I believe it should read:
"If a Traveller has help, such as good tools, competent
aids or other beneficial circumstances, he receives a
Boon. This means he rolls an extra die during a check
and discards the lowest.

If a Traveller is hindered in a check, such as with
poor tools, a dimly lit environment or other negative
circumstances, he receives a Bane. This means he rolls
an extra die during a check and discards the highest."
 
Page: 75
Section: Weapon Traits
Paragraph: 3 (Auto X)
Line: 2
Actual sentence with typo: ‘These weapons fire multiple rounds with every depression of the trigger, filling the air with a hail of fire’.
The use of ‘depression’ is incorrect.
Suggested correction: ‘These weapons fire multiple rounds with every pull of the trigger’.
 
Well, you asked for it: (All page references are for the PDF file, which seem to line up with the printed page numbers)

Page 3, 1st Paragraph
IS: "The Travellers choose how their characters will react..."
SHOULD BE: "The Players choose how their Travellers will react..."
(Remember: Travellers = Player Characters and Characters = NPCs by the definition in the same paragraph.)

Page 8, Characteristics, 1st Paragraph
IS: The basic characteristics for humans are
SHOULD BE: A complete sentence and a complete thought. I believe they should list the 6 characteristics, although they are listed in the Text Box on the opposite column, so maybe they just need to reference that?

Page 8, Rolling Characteristics, 2nd Paragraph
IS: For each characteristic, determine its Dice Modifier on the table opposite.
SHOULD BE: ... on the table on page 9.

Page 14, University Skills List
IS: Electronics
SHOULD BE: Electronics (any)

Page 38, Rogue Pirate

SHOULD BE: Per page 19, it says Survival DEX 6+
(I believe is should be DEX 6+ (keeps the sum of Survival and Advancement at 12 like the others))

Page 45, Combat Implant
IS: See Chapter 99
SHOULD BE: See Page 99

Page 47, Ageing, 1st Paragraph
IS: Add the Traveller's total number of terms as a negative DM on this table;...

("ADD" a negative seems awkward, another word like "USE" or "TAKE" would flow better.

Page 57, Skill Checks, 4th Bullet Point
IS: ... would be a Stealth pus END check.
SHOULD BE: ... would be a Stealth plus END check.
(plus not pus)

Page 58-59, Task Difficulty Example
IS: Erik (INT 9, Carouse 2) but at top of page 59 "Erik has one level of Carouse, which gives him a DM+2..."
SHOULD BE: "Erik has two levels of Carouse, which gives him a DM+2..."

Page 60, Task Chain Example, 2nd and 3rd Sentences
IS: Erik has Engineer (electronics), ... Kathya has the Sensors skill, ...
SHOULD BE: Erik has Electronics (computers), ... Kathya has the Electronics (sensors) skill, ...
(Both are specialties of Electronics now, you might want to come up with a better example that uses different skills Maybe Mechanics and Electronics (sensors)?)

Page 72, Minor Actions - Miscellaneous
IS: ... Minor Action if it does not requires his full attention, ...
SHOULD BE: ... Minor Action if it does not require his full attention, ...
(require not requires)

Page 76, Falling, 3rd Sentence
IS: A Traveller who make a successful...

(makes not make)

Page 79, Encounter Distance, List of Modifiers:
IS: DM+2 for every 10 Hull or part of Travellers actively looking for danger +highest Recon skill.
SHOULD BE: two columns. "Travellers..." should be in the LH side of the table with "+highest..." in the RH column of the table.

Page 84, Behaviour - Hunter
IS: Hunters have Survival. INS +2
SHOULD BE: no Instinct any more. Either give them another skill or drop the "INS +2"

Page 100, Physical Characteristic Augmentation (TL11)
IS: A character's Endurance, Strength or Reflexes can be ...
SHOULD BE: A Traveller's Endurance, Strength or Dexterity can be...
(use Traveller instead of character for consistency and Dexterity instead of Reflexes)

Page 106, Software Table, Security
IS: Rating 0 requires an Average (+0), Electronics (computers) check to successfully bypass. Difficult (-2), difficulty Hard (-4) difficulty Formidable (-6) difficulty
SHOULD BE: Rating 0 requires an Average (8+) Electronics (computers) check to successfully bypass.
Difficult (10+) difficulty
Hard (12+) difficulty
Formidable (14+) difficulty
(need to use Target Numbers not DMs for Difficulty Levels and line up the Difficulty with the Security Rating vertically)

Page 113, Inside Black Background with Red Text
IS: Scientific... Surveying...
SHOULD BE: BOLD Scientific and Surveying

Page 114, Environment Suit (TL8)
IS: ... gloves and booth, ...
SHOULD BE: ... gloves and boots, ...

Page 120, Body Pistol
IS: ... checks to detect them to Very Hard (-4).
SHOULD BE: ... checks them to detect them are Very Hard (12+).

IS: ... the difficulty is less than Difficult (-2).
SHOULD BE: ... the difficulty is less than Difficult (10+).

Page 130, Speed Bands table, Speed Band Number

SHOULD BE: Hypersonic A
(this is TRAVELLER darn it we use hexidecimal!) :D

Page 133, Weapon Damage Scales, Last Sentence of the last Paragraph on this page
IS: ..., they are Persona (always listed in black), ...
SHOULD BE: ..., they are Personal (always listed in black), ...
(Personal not Persona)

More later... :D

Lines: 1-4
Actual sentence with typo: "A quick discussion of various terminology and conventions is needed before proceeding’ understanding this section will make your comprehension of the rest of the rulebook much quicker."

Page: 5

Para: 1
Lines: 5-6
Typo: "The Technology Level scale starts at 0; In the Third

Page: 215
Section: Passage and Freight Costs Table
Type: Parsec 6 row numbers seem like a typo (Going from Cr4500 to Cr47000)
Suggestion: Double-check numbers on the table, looks like too many 0s on the last row in general

This one is accurate - J6 costs a lot!
