Hello everyone,
Please follow the link for the official Legends of Arcanis FAQ and Errata – December 2014
December 23, 2014 at 9:31 pm #265513frootsnaxParticipantGood. It’s finally out. Thanks Henry!

December 24, 2014 at 3:44 am #265517AnonymousInactiveThanks. It looks good (except for some mis-spellings and a few missing words).
I’m still not a fan of the Bloodline talent change (I still think it should work like the Learn Martial Technique change (both for consistency and more flexibility)).
I had missed the Huge change through all of the proposals – I don’t like it but that’s only because my Ss’ressen is Huge

. I’ll have to see it in play some before I decide if I like it mechanically – -1 Avoidance can make a big difference (I missed the Gnome in the group I run at least 5 times in HP1-6 because he had just increased his defenses by +2).December 30, 2014 at 2:53 am #265550AnonymousInactiveI’m glad to see the final version of the new FAQ as a Christmas gift.
It appears that the main PCI downloads Web page (http://paradigmconcepts.com/downloads/) still has a link to the old 2.0 version of the FAQ. For the sake of new players and those who don’t read every forum post, it would be nice to update that to the new 4.0 version.
December 31, 2014 at 7:21 am #265562AnonymousInactiveWhat does the “+1 Equipment Bonus” mean in the new rules for the SS’ressen Scale Armor clarification?
December 31, 2014 at 3:44 pm #265563AnonymousInactiveIt is a “new” type of bonus different from magic, rune, etc. You gain +1 AR above normal.

What does the bonus entail? Will it be clarified in the upcoming expansion book, or am I missing something?

It’s just a new type of bonus which means it stacks with other types. You can have a static bonus and variable bonus from each type. So +1 equipment, +1 magic, and +1 talent all stack (I left out rune because I don’t remember off-hand if a rune bonus stacks with a magic bonus).
December 31, 2014 at 4:06 pm #265566AnonymousInactiveAhh ok, thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated.
December 31, 2014 at 5:41 pm #265567AnonymousInactiveWil is right:
Types of “bonus'”:
– Die Bump/Penalty (eg: d8 weapon die to d10, such as Weapon Mastery T.3)
– Numbered Bonus (eg: +1 or “add your bloodrank”, such as Weapon Mastery T.1)
– +Die bonus (eg: Add a d6 to damage, such as Smite Infidel)Sources of Bonus’:
– Spells (from any casting source)
– Equipment (such as from Fine Quality weapons)
– Ally (such as the “Assist Ally” action)
– Talent (such as Weapon Mastery T.1)
– Magic Item (such as Runes)
– Racial (such as the Kelekene bonus to “Wild Assault”)
– Skill Ranks (not so much of a ‘bonus’, but a trained ability)
– Path (listed in the Errata, but can’t think of an example off the top of my head)
– Combat Maneuver (such as the +5 to damage from Mighty Swing)
– “Untyped”As such, if you want you could stack a die bump from a talent AND a spell (as was done with Smite Heretic before being errata’d), but not from two different talents. You could add a +1 from a spell and a Die Bump from a spell as they are different types of bonus’.
December 31, 2014 at 9:19 pm #265568AnonymousInactiveHenry and Co.,
Thanks for all the hard work on the errata. There are only 4 unanswered threads under the discussion section. I’m listing them here.
1. Great & light trident – Thrown qualities and range increment? (viewtopic.php?f=58&t=1223&start=0)
2. How do you gain literacy if you start illiterate? (viewtopic.php?f=58&t=1153)
3. Elemental sources – used up and can runes be used? (viewtopic.php?f=58&t=1145)
4. Rune of perseverance – is the armor rune at +10 stamina Fine (T1)? (viewtopic.php?f=58&t=1140)Official answers in them would be nice to tide them over until the next official errata is released.
Again, thanks a lot for all the work! It’s very much appreciated.
With a sweep of his hat,
Paul

I was curious about this as well. I am currently going based off of the entry not the chart, but I could be wrong. Some clarification would be great
January 3, 2015 at 3:24 am #265583AnonymousInactiveSources of Bonus’:
– Spells (from any casting source)
– Equipment (such as from Fine Quality weapons)

– Combat Maneuver (such as the +5 to damage from Mighty Swing)
– “Untyped”I don’t think this is totally correct, per the clarification of the stacking bonus on page 12 of the errata. There it spells out that “Ally” includes spells and talents from allies, so you could have one spell boosting your attack bonus that you cast, and one that an ally cast, and they would add – but there is a caveat that you can’t have the same spell effect you twice (like benediction of the gods cast by you and an ally). It makes Ally a pretty broad palet. It’s nice because it means that if they have a talent or spell, it will probably help you out, but it means that if one has a talent, and one has a spell, that do the same thing for allies – they won’t stack.
January 4, 2015 at 10:37 pm #265594AnonymousInactiveGreetings everyone!
before I dig into the questions below, just a heads up.. we will be adding this to the errata document and putting out an updated version before the end of the week.
1. Great & light trident – Thrown qualities and range increment? (viewtopic.php?f=58&t=1223&start=0)
1) the Great Trident should have Thrown (20′)
2) Should be Mighty Throw2. How do you gain literacy if you start illiterate? (viewtopic.php?f=58&t=1153)
if you take 1 rank in Linguistics you are fully literate in all the languages you know… keeping it simple.
3. Elemental sources – used up and can runes be used? (viewtopic.php?f=58&t=1145)
Elemental sources are not used up unless clearly stated in the spells/talents description.
4. Rune of perseverance – is the armor rune at +10 stamina Fine (T1)? (viewtopic.php?f=58&t=1140)
It should be an exceptional rune, for some reason it was omitted from the runes description.
Any other questions?
