Novus 2e Beta Corrections and Comments thread!

So obvious indeed…
Brilliant idea Burbles!

p. 60 under Combat Styles, last word of 2nd paragraph should be Style, not Styule

Rewrote that entire paragraph to make it one style item per rank in the skill

Learning a Combat Style requires also learning a Style skill, a Lore skill specifically for that style. Character may know one of the 7 Moves or 3 Abilities from the Style for each rank that they have in the Style skill. The costs for the Combat Moves belonging to the Style are discounted. The Special Abilities cannot be learned or used outside of the Style.

p60 under Combat Styles, 4th paragraph - changed "less" to "lower" so that it reads

When using the Style, the character will use either the appropriate Combat Skill or the Style skill, whichever is lower.

P. 60 - Combat Styles, first paragraph -- removed sentence about Martial Arts Styles and Weapon Katas.

Added the following example, just before the Style,  Double Weapon.

Note: You have  4 ranks in the Style, Double Weapon. You know 3 of the Moves and one of the 3 CP Special Abilities. To get the other one, you would need 6 ranks in the Style skill, or 7 ranks if you wanted to get the 4 CP Special Ability.

removes last half of last sentence from 4 CP ability of Double Weapon, so that the sentence reads (removing the section about "both must be within range" as that is kinda self-evident.

The two attacks need not be against the same foe.

The ‘save’ entry in the combat moves description is to indicate which save the foe may be entitled to. For Block and Dive for cover (p 61) it explains how the acting character proceeds instead.
I think none of those should have a save entry as the foe does not get a save to roll. The mechanism to perform the move should only be explained in the text description.

A last minute typo on the back cover: Novus is « verything ».
Sorry not to have seen this before…

I have un-stickied this topic, and I will be locking it as well.

THank you to everybody for all your assistance..

Sigh....

Ok, while working pre-gens for the Quickt Start, I realized that the Height and Weight table was missing High Elves, and Orcs, so I had to add them (I also added a second line for humans, so that the D'Anui and the Zhuan have different entries to account for their differing buils.

Since I had to do that, I wen ahead and updated the back cover and fixed the typo there as well (will be uploading the files shortly....)
