On page 41 in Table 3-1: Heavy Gunner Recommandet Advances it lists Iron Jaw even though this is a talent every Heavy Gunner gets.

And that is indicated… just added for completion

Yes, but normally only Talents with an or Option are listed, if this would be the norm and not an oversight or error, specialities like the commissar would list also things like Air of Authority or the operator Technical Knock. Both things they get regulary with no or options like Iron Jaw. but they are not listed contrary to Iron Jaw.

On page 49 in the grey box Comrade Advances under the Talent Hail of Fire it reads “…If his
Comrade is in Cohesion, all of the Weapon Specialist’s attacks this turn gain the Pinning Quality.”
But there is no direct Pinning Quality in the weapon section and the only reference is Pinning on page 186. But do not mention the Pinning Qualität exactly. So maybe it is an oversight, I overlooked something or it is not mentioned clearly. I think I means just that every enemy the Weapon Specialist attack, must test against Pinning or not?

under ogryn:

talent should be Weapon Specialisation (Heavy, SP) not (Heavy, Ripper)

Luther Engelsnot said:

I think you've got it right that every enemy he/she shoots at must then test pinning reguardless of how or with what weapon the Weapon Specialist attacked, but it does need to be stated better.

Here's a good one: Orgyn can pay 300 xp for the privilege of passing out whenever their friends are in danger.

Ogryn have a -15 to Intelligence. Average Ogryn Int is therefore about 15.

Fierce Loyalty is a passive that make you frenzy when your comrade is in danger. (pg 55.)

Frenzy gives you -20 to intelligence. (pg 99)

Having an Intelligence of 0 or below makes you take a nap. (page 186)

So while not every Ogryn is auto-hit by this, most will need to take an (expensive) Intelligence advance before this Talent is anything but an amusing form of suicide. Sort of a nasty system mastery trap, no?

"Lil Bob is in Danger! You no hurt my friend!" *scream of rage - foams at mouth - falls over*

That also applies to the regular Frenzy talent of course. Your worst case scenario would be a minimum Int Ogryn (7!) who needs to take 3 Int advances for a total of 3,750 xp before he could Frenzy without suffering a debillitating aneurysm.

Maybe Frenzy should have a note about not reducing a stat below 1?

it's just a penalty not characteristic damage. but they should put that in the frenzy talent description.

on page 41 SABILISE

says there the gunner does not suffer from penalties of semi-auto and full auto for that round. does that mean he gets +10 like a standard attack? becaise semi-auto doesn't have a penaltiy per se.

Andor said:

1. Frenzy gives you a temporary penalty to Int. Penalty != characteristic damage. Only characteristic damage causes effects listed on p. 186. There is a clarification about that somewhere in the Black Crusade forum.

2. How is this relevant to proofreading?

Seriously, people, we have a whole forum for discussing rules, yet all the threads in Proofreading get clogged up with rules discussions. Don't be surprised if legit errors people point out here get omitted in the final print because someone at FFG misses them between all the stuff that shouldn't be here. Do everyone a favor and post your concerns in appropriate subforums, that's what they are here for.

p. 54, under aptitudes, "offense" should be "offence"

Despite the lack of hard and fast Departmento Munitorum definitions of the different roles a Guardsmen can play within a Squad, there is still a great diversity.

Should be

Bold added to point the difference.

It is just a grammar error.

It doesn't match the new table results in the update. It now matches Zero Matching Aptitudes not One Matching Aptitude.

It now needs to either change the quoted xp or change to referring to zero matching characteristics.

Page 67

In the Character Details section

Munistorum should be Munitorum

Vostoyans should be Vostroyans

In the Demeanours Table

under Jaded

In Stage 5: Generating Characteristics

should be

According to week six update Sanctioned Psyker gets Best Craftsmanship Staff. It should be Best Craftsmanship Force Staff.

No its just a staff. Those exist too.

Note this section is for proof-reading, not rules clarifications. Conjecture about how things are supposed to work is indeed best left to the mechanics section.
