Page 85 - Project Ozma Insert: "Standard SOP if you run counter to a Project Ozma op is to bail out fast and stay hands off. We’ve lost dozens of agents to them already." SOP most commonly stands for "Standard Operating Procedure" The first "Standard" is redundant. Unless you're using an alternate meaning for SOP then its best you spell it out. Which may require a grammatical reworking of the sentence. Such as follows: "If you run counter to a Project Ozma op SOP is to bail out fast and stay hands off. We’ve lost dozens of agents to them already."

It's possible that I missed it, but I don't believe the character generation rules ever clearly state when modifiers from Background and Faction are applied to skills. Based on an example in the text I'm assuming that, like Morph modifiers, they are applied after all CPs are spent. Is that correct?

Page 311. - Pneumatic Limbs. The entire book consistantly uses SI units for measurements, but in this one it refers to the limbs being able to generate "1,500 pounds of thrust." Later on in the same description it talks about how high up transhumans can jump with them (2 meters). To be consistant the 1500 lbs-force of thrust needs to be converted over into Newtons (6672 Newtons, or you could round to 6500N or 7000N.)

Just downloaded the updated core book... D'oh! The sniper rifle fire rate has been adjusted in the chart on page 336, but it's now at odds with the description on the previous page, which still has the old rates of fire.

I'll wait for a corrected printing before I get the DT book (a *third* one ? :/), but I'm really really impressed by this RPG.

Everything you listed will be fixed in the 2nd printing. Thanks for taking the time to report it -- I had caught some of it when doing my very last pre-press pass, but not all of it, so I'll slip the corrected pages in at the last minute. :-)

Chameleon Cloaks are cost (Low). Chameleon Coating adds the same effect to armor for (Trivial). So you can get armored clothing with chameleon coating super-cheap!

Now that there's a second printing PDF, will we be seeing a revision to the character sheet on the Resources page? The one up there still has DUR ÷ 10 for DB instead of SOM ÷ 10.

p.131, second column, Disadvantages of the HYPERELITE section, typo : open windows notepad and copy/paste the following sentence from the PDF: "May not start with flat, splicer, or any pod, uplift, or synthetic morphs". "flat" will appear as "fl at" (sic). I've seen more of this kind of text typo and the bad thing about this is that when doing full text searches in the PDF, you may not get those words. I'll see if maybe doing a full copy/paste of the entire document text and going through a spelling checker may help find the others...

Well I've done that and indeed there are quite a few occurences of that in there. Could it be some steganography ? ^^ Take a random page, say p.323, copy/paste the text to a file and you'll find quite a few: "Liquid thermite [color=#FF0000][b]infl icts[/b][/color] 3d10 + 5 DV per Action turn to whatever it is touching." "Armor will protect against this acid at [color=#FF0000][b]fi rst[/b][/color], but the acid will eat through the armor, so that it will no longer protect after its full armor value has been reached." "This liquid is colorless at normal light but becomes recognizable under [color=#FF0000][b]pre-specifi ed[/b][/color] different wavelengths (such as infrared or ultraviolet)." "Getting the sweets usually requires [color=#FF0000][b]fulfi lling[/b][/color] certain conditions within the trip, such as correctly answering questions or [color=#FF0000][b]fulfi lling[/b][/color] goals." "The target suffers a –20 [color=#FF0000][b]modifi er[/b][/color] on other actions while dancing, but the dancing may be overridden with a WIL x 3 Test." "These inputs are spliced together, their emotional inputs [color=#FF0000][b]amplifi ed[/b][/color], and then the entire package is spiked with some hormonal circuit triggers and [color=#FF0000][b]artifi cial[/b][/color] synaesthesia." "Linkstate users are catatonic while under the effects (typical sessions run 3-4 hours), but afterwards they often report that they have [color=#FF0000][b]fl ashbacks[/b][/color] of events in other people’s lives." Am I the only one getting this or is my computer unexplainedly screwed up ^^ ? I mean it's not a problem when you're reading the PDF file of course, but if you're using text search in the PDF, and happen to be looking for a word that's split, it won't show up. Mel.

A major epiphany just hit me, and it does require errata: AIs don't have language skills! I know they are capable of speaking to their owners (well, at least muses are), so I think that they should be given at least one language by default (likely at 90, eh?). Or is it something that a muse has to take as one of its three free knowledge skills?

These might be artifacts of the PDF publishing process. I've had it happen when I made a PDF before, despite the fact that I didn't type it like that. I have no clue why this happens, and I doubt they are any better off.

They're due to ligatures -- two characters joined together to look awesome. They get exported as a single character in the PDF file; no way around that without turning off all ligatures.

In the Battery description on pages 336 under railguns it says that batteries recharge at 20 points per hour and hold 200 shots. And then on 338 under beam weapons it says that batteries are good for a different amounts of shots depending on the weapon but that they can be recharged at a rate of 20 shots per hour. Should it be changed to reflect that the batteries recharge at 10% of their capacity per hour. Otherwise it takes 10 hours to charge up a battery to be used in a Stunner but only half an hour to charge a battery for a Plasma Rifle.

Plus it gets more confusing for a weapon like the Microwave Agonizer. It has 100 shots if in nonlethal mode, and 50 shots in lethal mode... so does it take 2½ or 5 hours to finish charging?

By the way, you guys might want to take a look at your Errata PDFs, since the numbers aren't displaying on my computer; I just get a blank space where they should be. I'm using the Adobe Reader 8.2.0.81 plugin for IE, if it helps.

A note with charging: the book says

Quote:

An opponent who runs and attacks an opponent in melee combat in the same Action Phase is considered to be charging. A charging attacker still suffers the –10 modifier for running, but they receive a damage bonus on account of their momentum: increase the damage they inflict by +1d10.

The table has the modifier for running at –20. Is it reduced to –10 for the charge?

On page 81 Mahogany is listed as a space station/habitat on Uranus (under the faction Mercurial). On page 109 Mahogany is listed as a habitat on Neptune.

Looking at the second printing. Page 360, 'What Help Can a Sentinel Expect?' sidebar: 'lesson' should be 'lessen.' It should also probably say 'Any Firewall operative' or something instead of 'Any Firewall killed in the line of duty...'

rpg shops in the UK have recently got another bacth of the EP core rulebook in stock- is this the revised version or the same as the original print?

It's the same as the first printing in every way. Please see this post for more details: http://eclipsephase.com/eclipse-phase-reprint-shipping

Sorry if the question is dumb, but is the second printing actually printed and available in the stores?

I suggest post-it notes for any Game Information errata.

I just write on the book itself but I hear some people wince about that kind of stuff *grin*

*twitch* Due to living on the fairly damp lowlands of Scotland any D&D books I get delivered to me via the Royal Mail Service tend to get a little bit water damaged on there way. Not enough to warrant sending them back but just enough to drive me insane thinking about it. If someone actually took a pen to one of them I might just have a minor breakdown :D

I suppose you mean errata for the latest PDF of the core rules, right ? A few months back, I tried to check every errata in this post against the PDF to see which had been taken into account, and which hadn't (I hate the idea that some errata could get lost somehow)... I never finished... I wish there was a web based errata tracking tool, so that we could check every single errata we find against it... This way we could know what's already been taken into account, and it'd be easy to see what's already been submitted (for instance, get every errata submitted, sorted by page number etc.)... I'm pretty sure an open source bug tracking tool could be used for that... Or maybe you guys already have that inhouse... Mel.

Not overly important, but the movie referred to in the References section is called "Gattaca", not "Gattica" :-)

A recommendation for change - p.255, active monitoring test begins BEFORE the intruder penetrates the firewall (more accurately representing actual security practices, and making firewalls useful as a defensive measure).

Using a bugtracker for errata, that would be cool

Now that is an excellent idea.
