In SRRPG 3E sourcebook there is some text gone missing. On page 186 at the top of the page there is a little text about summoning spirits it feels like it has been cut of, mainly because of two reasons. #1. There is no Topic or title stating what the text is about. #2 The first sentence is, and i quote "Action.". If I flip to the previous page there is a nice picture and at the end of page 184 is an example concluding the earlier text about domains...
I have checked the erratas and found nothing about this, does anyone know where my text has run off too? :| |

Interesting. In my first printing there is a header there at the top of pg 186. "Summoning Nature Spirits" followed by "Summoning a nature spirit requires an Exclusive Complex Action." Probably the text you're missing.
Interestingly enough in my Corrected Fifth Edition (Sixth Printing) the "Summoning Nature Spirits" section header is missing. What printing of the book do you have PluTT? |

It's a text flow error; SR3 has been through a lot of revisions and each one has slightly different flow errors - not all of them get caught during proofing or even before the next printing. Connor's text is correct.

If you bring it to me at any convention I'm at, I'll write the correction in the margin for you. ;-)

But I tell you if you are ever at a convention in Sweden I will take you up on that offer... I mean I can't possibly write on my own in the margin can I? ;) |

On a serious note: Books that are somehow defective as a fault of the printer and aren't usable [for example, missing some pages, other pages duplicated] will be replaced on a 1 for 1 basis.

somebody spilled milk on my SRComp, tore off the back cover, and bent the spine so that the pages are falling out. ...at the printer.

If it's any consolation, your use of the word "spooging" has made my morning a little bit brighter. |
