corrected in the softcover edition.

Willpower Attribute determines his Mystic Armor Rating."

Page 52: Lifting/Carrying Capacity Table


The column heading for Lifting/Carrying Capacity should read, "Carrying Capacity/Lifting". The
values remain the same.

Page 53: Karma


The paragraph describing Maximum Karma Points should read as follows: "Maximum Karma Points
refers to the maximum number of Karma Points characters of each race can have at any one time."

Page 71: Ork Cavalryman


The Initiative Dice should be D6, NOT D8.

Page 73: Dwarf Elementalist


The Spellcasting Talent Step Number/Action Dice should be 9/D8 + D6, NOT 10/D10 + D6.

The Armor Rating should be 3, NOT 4.

Page 119: Trick Riding Talent

RULES CLARIFICATION
To clear up confusion as to how Karma is used in the game, FASA offers the following
clarification.

All adepts, as well as some of the more powerful creatures of Earthdawn, can tap into the world's
magical energy in order to enhance their magical abilities. This magical energy is called Karma, and its
use is simulated through Karma Points and Karma dice. If an adept wishes to use Karma when
attempting an action, he or she spends a Karma Point. This allows the player of the adept character to
roll Karma dice in addition to the standard dice when performing the action. The result of the Karma
dice roll is added to the result of the other dice rolled. Like all dice used in Earthdawn, Karma dice can
be re-rolled as Bonus dice. Each of the Name-Giver races rolls a different type of dice when using
Karma; these Karma dice are listed on the Karma Table, page 53 of the Earthdawn rulebook.

Adepts can only use Karma when performing actions using talents that are either Discipline talents or
whose descriptions state that their use requires Karma. Discipline talents and talents requiring Karma
are both described on page 95 of the Earthdawn rulebook. As they progress to higher Circles, adepts
may use Karma on other specific types of actions, listed in the Discipline descriptions on pages 66-90
of the Earthdawn rulebook. Certain powerful creatures, such as dragons and most Horrors, can also use
Karma. Their use of Karma is described in the Creatures section of the Earthdawn rulebook.

Clarification: Thread Weaving and Group True Patterns


When a group creates a Group True Pattern, each member of the group may weave a thread from the
Group Pattern to his or her own True Pattern. This thread is attached to one specific ability (listed on
page 50). The rank of the chosen ability is increased by the rank of the thread whenever the character
acts as a part of the group. In practice, that means virtually any time the group is participating in an
adventure. If a character acts only for his own good, however (for example, a thief who steals only to
enrich himself), the character does not receive the increase to his ability normally granted by the thread.
These rules allow characters acting as a group to become more powerful and eventually become heroes
of legend. The group as a whole does not benefit from its True Pattern, but each member of the group
can use the Group True Pattern to enhance his or her own abilities when acting on the group's behalf.

Clarification: Thread Weaving and Pattern Items


When a character obtains another character's Pattern Item, he can use it to a) enhance his own abilities
when interacting with the other character (the subject), or b) bolster the subject's abilities.

In the first case, the character's abilities are only increased when the character interacts with the subject.
The nature of the interaction depends on the ability increased by the thread woven to the Pattern Item.
In order for the increase to be effective, the character must interact with the subject in some way;
simply being near the subject is not enough.

In the second case, the subject's abilities are increased whether or not the character is interacting with
him. In essence, the character is adding his own strength to the subject's.

his nethermantic skills, Delos has built a bone circle in a hidden cave where he practices his forbidden
art. Through the bone circle. . ."

Page 109 - 100


The following sentence was accidentally cut out of the text of the description of Choras Brightstone
Skyseeker in the Distant Moots section. The last sentence that appears on page 109 should be followed
by "Choras Brightstone is particularly obsessed with making some grand discovery, convinced that his
devoted service to Mynbruje entitles him to such good fortune."

Page 123 - 124


The following text was accidentally cut out of the text of the Ship to Ship Combat section of the
Airships and Ship Combat chapter. The last sentence that appears on page 123 should be followed by:

DAMAGE IN SHIP-TO-SHIP COMBAT


A ship takes damage in much the same way as a player character. The damage done to the ship by each
attack is reduced by the ship's Armor Rating. When a ship accumulates damage equal to its Derelict
Rating (or has its Speed or Maneuverability reduced to 0), it becomes incapacitated and can no longer
perform any combat maneuvers.
