help struck by lame translation!

By chaosisgod, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

Hello there!

My friend just bought the base game but it's the localized version and we have already found some grievous translation errors. i know it's hard to fathom but according to our set of rules whenever you roll a blank on a power dice the attack fails and the miss symbols on the other dice only cancel those out. So you see it's far from reliable to use those. The rules i have found already but the OL enhanced stats for dungeon dwellers is only listed at the end of the mission printlet and that's not quite clear either. so i was wondering if it was possible to get the original version from somewhere. thanks :)

Somebody plz copy paste the last page of the missions or quests sheet from the original box, that's all i'm asking for :(

There was never an English version of what you are asking for that was put in PDF form. You might be able to find something on BBG, but other then someone actually typing out that page, you might be out of luck. :(

if there was an official OK for someone to scan the last page and share i'm sure i could find someone to do that for me :)

Perhaps I'm minsunderstanding what you mean by "OL enhanced stats for dungeon dwellers" but I don't think this page you're asking for actually exists in English. The basic stats for monsters are only described on the corresponding cards, and the "enhanced" stats of the boss monsters for each quest are included in the given quest itself. There is no "summary" page that has all the bosses in one place.

If FFG were OK with the idea of scanning the quest booklet, I'm sure they would have done it themselves and included it in the pdf of the rules.

I'm pretty sure that someone on BGG created card templates for each of the bosses in the original quest set. I'd look here:

www.boardgamegeek.com/filepage/54178/boss-cards-v1-0

Not gonna vouch for accuracy but it's a good place to start.

I mean there's a list on the last page of the quests regarding seasoned dungeon dwellers... something about average level of heroes being more than 1. that the OL gets bonuses based on hero level... that's what i'm looking for b/c the translation can be read in different ways depending on how you interpret new lines and commas in the text

Are you referring to the quest book of the original game or one of the expansions?

Ah, you're talking about the "basic campaign" rules printed on the cover of the quest guide. You realize those are optional, and not very good? Most people don't recommend using them at all.

I don't have my quest guide handy at the moment, but I don't imagine there would be any objection to someone posting those tables.
