Main Page » Errata

This is a listing of grammatical, spelling and formatting errors that have been found in the BRCS pdf file but are yet to be fixed. If you find any new errors, please check for them on this page. If they have not been noted, please add them. Where possible, please provide a link to the relevant page/s on the wiki version of the BRCS.

If you disagree with the way something is handled in the BRCS, e.g. the design of the scion class, the calculation of regency points, then please discuss it first on the BR forum. If the error is only in the wiki version of the BRCS, then bring it to the forum's attention and the BR administrators will attend to it. This page is only for errata in the BRCS, not for errors in any additional articles written on the wiki.

Current version in the wiki: BRCS 3.5ed revision 1.1 (chapters 1-5), BRCS 3ed revision 1.0 (chapters 6-9)
See the BRCS change log for some of the previous edits to the BRCS.

[top]Errata in Chapter One

  • Humans, Cerilian - Bonus feat. > Bonus feat:
  • Humans, Cerilian - Cultural background skill and bonus skill points. > Cultural background skill and bonus skill points:
  • Humans, Cerilian - Bonus Languages > Bonus languages
  • Humans, Cerilian - Favored Class > Favored class
  • Khinasi - The mage-king el-Arassi > The mage-king el-Arrasi
  • Khinasi - the protection of el-Arassi > the protection of el-Arrasi
  • Rjurik - Mhiere Rhuann > Miere Rhuann
  • Rjurik - icy Thaelasian passage > icy Thaelasian Passage
  • Dwarves, Cerilian - A dwarf's dense body provides DR 5/slashing or piercing
    This sentence is supposed to give dwarves damage reduction (DR) against bludgeoning damage, but it is not clear what is meant by / . For D&D 3e (MM1, p307), it means "except" or "sans" or "excluding", such that the sentence gives dwarves +5 DR against any damage not caused by a slashing or piercing weapon. While players using D&D 3.5e may be aware of this, it is not immediately obvious. A slightly clearer statement may be needed, citing the MM1.
  • Dwarves, Cerilian - In lieu of DR 5/slashing or piercing, dwarves receive DR 1+Con bonus/slashing or piercing.
    See the previous error comment for Dwarven, Cerilian.
  • Halflings, Cerilian - Anuire Empire > Anuirean Empire
  • Magician - Magician Special Ability: Delete the repeated "When the magician Aids Another with a skill, she adds a +4 bonus to the acting character’s skill check."
  • Monk - Improved unarmed attack > Improved Unarmed Strike
  • Paladin - applies to chaotic creatures vice evil ones > applies to chaotic creatures instead of evil ones
    This change is for clarity for non-native English speakers. 'vice' as a preposition means "instead of" but is more commonly used as a noun or an adjective with a different meaning.
  • Paladin - most multi-class in a balanced fashion > most multiclass in a balanced fashion.
  • Table 1-1: Warrior arms, armor, and feats - misnamed weapons that don't match what is given in Table 1-11, Table 1-12
    • long sword > longsword
    • war spear > warspear

  • Table 1-1: Warrior arms, armor, and feats - no falchion mentioned (see Table 1-11)
  • Table 1-1: Warrior arms, armor, and feats - Improved bull rush, improved sunder > improved bull rush, improved sunder
  • Table 1-11 - no shortsword, great axe or halfspear included for Goblins, lance for Anuireans, shortspear for Rjurik (see Table 1-1)
  • Feats - Leadership: the benefits listed in the Dungeon Masters Guide > the benefits listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide
  • New feat descriptions: Benefit: > Benefits:
    This is required for multiple feats for consistency, regardless of how many possible 'benefits' they may seem to offer.
  • Paladins of Avani - At sixth level, and every fifth level thereafter > At 6th level, and every fifth level thereafter
  • Paladins of Avani - per day at16th level > per day at 16th level
  • Paladins of Avani - 3rd?level: > 3rd-level:

[top]Errata in Chapter Two

  • Sort out what is a section and what is a subsection, and what fonts are required for each, e.g., "Passing the bloodline" is Font 10 Bold Red, but "Variant: Random bloodline traits" is Font 12 Bold Red, "For the DM: Playing a Great or True Bloodline" is Font 10 Bold Default and "Playing a Scion" is Font 12 Bold Default. This might have to be the establishment of a universal style throughout the BRCS.
  • Bloodline score: Table 2-2 shows the number of minor, major, and great blood abilities > Table 2-3 shows the number of minor, major, and great blood abilities
  • Bloodline derivation: must make a Wil save > must make a Will save
  • Scion classes: "all scions receive the following scion class features class." > "all scions receive the following scion class features."
  • Scion classes: remove the additional horizontal bar at the end of Scion of Anduiras and the Scion of Masela
  • Blood abilities - table 2-3 > Table 2-3 (occurs twice)
  • Blood abilities - TABLE 2-5 Prerequisites For Blood Abilities > Table 2-5: Prerequisites For blood abilities
  • Blood_ability_descriptions#Bloodform
    • creating an awnsheghlien > creating an awnshegh
    • the transformation to awnsheghlien form > the transformation to awnshegh form
    • the ultimate transformation of a scion to awnsheghlien status > the ultimate transformation of a scion to awnshegh status

  • Blood_ability_descriptions#Resistance: webbed and grappled .In the old legends, > webbed and grappled. In the old legends,

[top]Managing military assets#Fortifications

Some of the content in this section is:
  • ambiguous
  • in conflict with other parts of the BRCS

and will need to be rewritten.

Fortifications have a maintenance cost equal to a holding of the same level. Thus, a fully fortified holding has double the maintenance cost of a normal (unfortified) holding. ... A province fortification can be built up to level 10, regardless of the level of the province. A province fortification has a maintenance cost equal to a province of the same level. Thus a fully fortified province has double the maintenance cost of an unfortified province.
  • This is ambiguous as to what is meant by a province of the same level. It could be referring to the level of the fortification or the level of the province which the fortification is in.
  • This contradicts Table 5-4: asset maintenance costs, which explicitly a different mechanism for calculating the maintenance costs of fortifications.
  • This contradicts Chapter_five/Ruling_a_domain/Domain_expenses#Domain_asset_maintenance_costs, which states The administrative costs of province, holdings, trade routes, and other income generating domain assets are already factored into their collected net income. This indicates that there are no maintenance costs for provinces or holdings.
