BRCS:Errata
Main Page » Errata
|
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.

- 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.

[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.

Some of the content in this section is:
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.

and will need to be rewritten.

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.
