ok I don't know if this is a typo but I am confused about the wording in a few combat moves
Page 49
trip combat maneuver
save vs speed (Tn 15 + character's Str bonus)

should this be  a save vs speed adding the strength bonus after the normal bonuses to the speed save
then it would be less confusing to me to list it as save vs speed (Tn 15) + character's Str bonus

or is this a typo and the save stat and the bonus stat should be the same

The combat moves Choke hold page 51, basic throw page 51, iron palm page 52, knockout page 52, leg sweep page 52, slam page 52, stunning kick page 52, stunning strike page 52 all have this issue.

thanks

No, it means that the TN of the save is 15 +  the attacking character's Strength Bonus. That is why they are in parenthesis, to show that they go together...

So, with
save vs speed (Tn 15 + character's Str bonus), if the attacking character has a Str Bonus of +3, that would make it the equivalent of saying:

"Save vs. Spd (TN 18)"

remember, when you have multiple items within a set of parenthesis, they go together. Also note how the attacking character is always referred to as the "character", while his opponent is always referred as "foe", even in other Comat Moves, where this isn't present...
