TOC, p. 2: "USING GYMNASTICS" and a few others are in all caps, whereas most of the headings at that indentation level are not
p 225: "which icons are devices, which are personae...", the accepted plural seems to be "personas"

Are you kidding me? I barely had room for dragons....

I agree whole-heartedly

Not actual rule/spelling error but the last two huge horizontal scenery images of the PDF is really messing up some PDF readers like Preview in OS X.

This makes all other pages to scale down to really tiny size. I can naturally zoom in but that is just dump. Documents like these really should pick a page size and stick to it. Putting different sized pages is really bad layout decision unless you want to piss off your reader. Some PDF-readers will get around this but not all. I was able to remove the last pages with PDF editor program which is really the only way to fix the PDF.

Please fix the layout issue. Remove the last pages (and publish them separately) or at least rotate them and choose the same width as the other pages.

As mentioned in the other thread, our best guess is this is some sort of formatting error, an earlier version being released on accident, etc, etc. I've emailed and PM'ed folks about the problems with this DTRPG pdf, to let 'em know, and I'm sure once folks wake up some kind of ball will start rollin'. I let 'em know about the images in the back and the bookmarks thing.

Our layout guy loves doing layout too much, I can't imagine a non-bookmarked copy being our "final," y'know? Several of the reviewers commented about how nice the bookmarks were on their pdf copies, so this just has to be some kind of screw-up. It'll get fixed.

Ok, thanks for your reply I'm sure you guys are doing your best and so is the layout guy. These things happen (I should know, I write a lot of stuff). Great layout otherwise. The last pages are an issue and I second the PDF TOC as well. They are really handy.

I got my copy of the PDF from DriveThruRPG if this makes any difference.

Typo : Page 54

"Emergeed individuals"

Magic Chapter, p314, under Manifesting, the mention of the Materialization power of spirits references Pg 314 rather than Pg398 for the description of the Materilization Critter Power.

Omission. Pg2. The Archetypes section doesn't appear in the Table of Contents.

Does the Combat Mage Archetype say Human but show a Troll in the Picture?
And the covert Op Specialist says Dorf but looks like Elf?

Page 65 :

"Trolls
receive Thermographic Vision, +1 Reach, and Dermal
Armor, but they also receive the disadvantage of having
to pay an additional fifty percent for gear because
everything—including cyberware and bioware—must
be specially modified to meet their massive physical
requirements."

Are we agreed that this was not intended to be in print?

So is there a place that shows the errata so far?


Thanks

This thread. I'm sure Patrick Goodman is keeping a more complete list, but that won't be publicly available until CGL decides to publish it.

Again, Page 94 :

"When a character factors in racial modifiers for gear
costs (trolls have a 50 percent gear and Lifestyle cost
increase, dwarfs have a 10 percent increase in gear
costs),"

Confirmed this and previous mention still in updated PDF.

Poked the folks in the chat, including Hardy and Bull, and got confirmation that the +50% cost on cyber and bio is unintentional.

Did you leave of part of the quote here, because that atleast doesn't say what you claim it does.

Page 367

For availability and prices of purchasing Fake
SINs, see p. 367.

There are no prices, just a ratings chart.


Edit : Actual chart is on page 443.

Typo: Pg163, in the Reloading Weapons table. Under Belt Fed, the listed Result is "Remover or insert belt" rather than "Remove or insert belt".

So are Powerball, Manaball, and Stunball all suppose to have the same drain (F)?
The Touch and bolt versions all have the same drain.

I guess they got rid of the different drains depending on the type of spell being cast (like a Mana attack spell having less drain than a Power attack spell).

p. 102 Final calculations

James

Living Persona —
Attack Charisma — 3 + ?
Data Processing Logic — 4 + Analytical Mind
Device Rating Resonance — Correct
Firewall Willpower — 3 + Natural hardening
Sleaze Intuition — 4 + ?

The numbers don't look like how they should based on the table on previous page and later.

Yes, actually, in this case DTRPG not only decided which version to release, but released it ahead of schedule. You're free to believe what you want (and I don't doubt that you'll default to "not the CGL guys"), but from everything I've been told, what happened was a slip-up on the DTRPG side of things. It's not the end of the world, and I'm not gonna say stuff like "those DTRPG guys can't find their own assholes" and stuff like that, but...yeah. That's what happened.

Now can this sub-thread be dropped, so people can focus on the errata doc?

Spelling: Page 127. Bounty Hunter, Qualities
SINner (Salish-Sidhe . . .

* That should be Salish-Shidhe.

The Sample Decker (page 121) has no Matrix Initiative listed.


On page 414, regarding Addiction Tests, the book states:



The problem is that Kamikaze has an addition rating of 9, and 11-9=2. So you'd have to use Kamikaze at least twice (once per week, two weeks in a row) in order to even get to the point where you'd make an Addiction test, let alone fail one.

Page 115. Street Shaman, Contacts
-- He has a Tanamous contact. Tanamous is not referenced anywhere in the SR5 book. Should just be changed to "Organlegger."

(Tarislar is at least mentioned on p. 105)

The rules list the roll for compiling and registering sprites as being limited by Level, and the roll for Summoning and Binding as being limited by Force. Is this intended?

Guys, can we focus a little more? I don't want to be a dick, here, but it'd be great if this thread could be pointing out errata stuff, very specifically, to make Patrick's life a little easier.

On page 473, in the "T" index, the "Yamaha Pulsar" is incorrectly spelled and placed as a "Tamaha" pulsar.

Page 98 : Table says "Registering Spirits" instead of "Registering Sprites"

The Gunslinger Adept has a Yamaha Raiden, which has an Availability of 14F, making it off limits to starting characters.

On the PDF bookmark for the story "A Little Shadow Music," the Bookmark says "a little Shadow Magic."

Ehanced accuracy and critical strike don't mention per level for their cost anywhere yet archetypes show multiple levels of both.(not just a new skill)

Typo, page 162 in the movement example, last paragraph:

"On any subsequent Initiative Passes in this Combat Turn, Caster is still considered to be Running even if he doesn’t cover any more ground. He can only move another 4 meters. This Combat Turn before he has to Sprint."

There is an extra period between "4 meters" and "This Combat Turn".

-DrZ

page 88, right hand column, first paragraph. the 4th sentence is obviously supposed to start with "If" (in fact, it looks like it got deleted because the sentence starts off with a lowercase letter).

Removed. Post awaiting deletion.

uncertain if this is needed or not:

page 105 mentions that you cannot train a mental attribute or physical skill at the same time as recovering from an augmentation that boosts it. no mention is made of physical attributes or mental skills, and other text would lead me to believe that the intention is that you cannot use that downtime for anything.

(in particular, "That downtime is used solely for
recovery from the augmentation implanting process and
for getting used to their body’s new modifications.")

edit: also on page 106, under the example for character advancement (James),

"will cost 15 Karma, which he has It normally" (i'm pretty sure there should be a period between "has" and "It").

also looking back, James has in his backstory that one of his goals is to rise above low lifestyle (end of second-to-last paragraph). this should be fairly easy to accomplish, since the low lifestyle he bought is just his safe house, and he actually has a middle lifestyle as his main lifestyle.

edit again: page 116, the combat mage is leaving scorched marks. usually that would just be scorch marks.

and again: page 128 under knowledge skills: "...begins the game with free Knowledge skills
points based on..." (usually would be skill points, not skills points).

and now, i'm calling it a night. i'll probably have some more for you later.

Retcon?
The original 5 million of Dunkelzahn given to the Atlantian Foudnation became 5 billion in SR5.

A few quality costs:

Cost: 4 Karma per rating (max 6)
Cost: 7 Karma per rating (max rating 3)
Cost: 8 Karma per level (Max 3)

Stick with either "rating" or "level" and consistently use "max rating/level" to avoid questions whether the maximum is Karma or level/rating.

Not sure is this is errata worthy, but if the priority A gives magicians 10 spells, then it might be nice to have at least 10 slots on the character sheets.

Let's talk about sprites:
When a sprite is compiled, its own Overwatch Score starts, even though it hasn’t had a chance to do anything illegal (p. 254)
Starts at what?

The Matrix doesn’t know what to make of sprites, so they show up as illegal activity. This puts a limit on the time you can keep a sprite around before GOD finds it and crashes it. (p. 254)
But no actual rules to follow up on that. So I guess this means just the regular 2D6 increase every 15 minutes? But why mention it once more then?

These two items should just be folded into a single explanation like "The Matrix doesn’t know what to make of sprites, so they show up as illegal activity. When a sprite is compiled, its own Overwatch Score starts at zero but increases as usual by 2D6 every 15 minutes (see page xxx). When GOD converges..."

If you use the sprite’s last task to do this, don’t screw up. If you succeed, add your net hits to the number of tasks the sprite owes you (minus the one for re-registering, of course). If you fail, you’re out of tasks, plain and simple.
So what if I don't use the last task? Do I forfeit all remaining tasks in case of failure?

And solving the question how Machine Sprites interact with devices by removing all their options to interact with devices (except for "control device", which every sprite can do) is really a lazy way out...

page 134, climbing failures and glitches: "A test while climbing or rappelling automatically halts
your progress..."

given the heading and the fact that making a climbing test shouldn't generally halt your progress in climbing, i'm guessing that you meant glitch, not test.

page 140, social modifiers table, negotiation: "Character has blackmailed material or heavy bargaining chip" should probably just be blackmail, not blackmailed

Page 310 shows costs for Improved Reflexes for the 3 levels as 1.5 / 2.5 / 3.5.

I suspect that since the first two are just 0.5 PP below the old version that the level 3 should be reading 4.5 PP instead?

Nope... In SR4A, Level 3 only costs 4pp.

Ahhh.. I only have SR4 and the cost was 5 there

guess I will have to borrow a friend's copy and peek at those changes.

There were some good improvements from SR4 to SR4A, but there were some bad decisions as well (Scatter table comes to mind).

Page 273, fiction, third full paragraph, "Freddie was a bound spirit of air, 'Hawk probably him along to keep . . ."

The sentence should read "Freddie was a bound spirit of air, 'Hawk probably SENT him along to keep . . ."

Is the cost / availability of a monocle supposed to vary by rating?

Multiple attacks the example and rule don't match up. Rule states that you divide the pool up evenly between the attacks, the example has the character attacking 3 people with a pool of 12 and gettign 6 for each attack.

Check the example again.

I think in the example he was about to be attacked by 3 bouncers and decided to hit there first two of them to soften them up.
Can you check the example to see if it says he was attacking 2 of them?

You are right. I missed the two in the example.

p. 388 - "Swag" - Indicates a contact adds Connection rating as extra dice on Fencing checks. However, no indication whether these extra dice are also added when buying things (although it is suggested at when it says "A contact can use her connections to find potential buyers or SELLERS."

p. 418 - "Contacts and Availability" - No mention of adding Connection rating as extra dice.
p. 419 - "Contacts and Fencing" - No mention of adding Connection rating as extra dice.

This should be clarified.
