p.49, s.3.10.4 (Write Music) "characters with one Write Music specialization may the other specialization at only a -1 penalty for unskilled use." -> "characters with one Write Music specialization may attempt the other specialization at only a -1 penalty for unskilled use."

p.50, s.3.10.5.3 "Tsoléi’i (Tsoléi Archipelago in the western sea)" -> language name should be bolded as the other listed language names are.

p.55, s.4.7 "Physician's bag (complete with bandages, salves, herbs, etc. (adds +1 to Medicine skill checks)" -> needs additional closing parenthesis or change second open parenthesis to an n-dash or similar (?)
"Wooden or leather chest (1 meter long by 1⁄2 meter wide by 1/3 meter high" -> needs closing parenthesis

Other (Scale):
There is no scale for time given. Will there be a suggestion for how much time a turn represents when an exact amount of time is needed?

I can accept that a turn is abstract and combat does not take place in discrete units of time, but some tasks outside combat may call for a time estimate for completion (based on turns(?)) I am comfortable with just making this sort of thing up off-the-cuff, but some people may prefer a guideline in the rules.

Page 35. Psychic Dampener.
The range is given as a circle with a 1" diameter. I am assuming this is in terms of miniatures on a grid. Might we have the area expressed in terms of meters around the character?

Quote from jeffdee on September 16, 2014, 10:59
Page 33. Advantages. 3.9.2.1 Devices
"The normal physical characteristics of the item (for example, weapon statistics if it’s a weapon) are free, but any other Advantage points cost 1 point each – and the device gets a bonus of +1 Advantage point if it doesn’t have any inherent game function (for example, an amulet or a belt)."

What I'm trying to express is that something like a belt or piece of jewelry, which doesn't have weapon or armor stats or give its wearer any skill check bonuses or anything *on its own*, gets a cost savings when you use it as the basis for a "device". If you add stuff to something like a weapon or armor, you get its original weapon or armor abilities for free. So, charging the same amount for a "device" built out of something that didn't have any abilities of its own would be unfair.

Thank you for your clarification!

Sorry, Jeff!

I must be blind: "One game ‘Round’ represents six seconds of
real time." -> Perhaps the sentence about time should be split from the paragraph about map scale (?)

Page 37. Pe Choi. "Life Sense: Senses living things within 1"..."

Might we have this in meters?

Page 38. 3.10.1.3 Military Training.

In your list of basic training skills (2nd Para), you have "foreign Languages. Should that be "Foreign"?

Page 40. Appraise Value. Middle of paragraph.
"...will be off by +/ -5%." Probably ought to be "+/- 5%" (move space to after the "-" instead of before it)

Hi Jeff,
2.1.3 "the sinking of Ganga and the rise of the northern seas to" - probably needs to be the rise of the northern seabed.

2.1.4.2 "One has merely to enter a forested, swamp of mountainous region to encounter" - probably should be "forested, swampy or mountainous region" or "forest, swamp or mountain region".

3.5.6.2 - Not being from the USA I have no idea how father is pronounced in the midwest and to my ear machine and gist have almost identical "i" sounds.

3.8.* inconsistent terminology. Example: in 3.8.1 you use "PHYS Attribute" in 3.8.2
you use "PHYS score" in both cases you mean look up your PHYS Attribute in the Score column ... 3.8 contains various uses of Attribute & score with inconsistant capitalization.

I've changed the heading on the 2nd column on the table to say "American English".

"3.8. inconsistent terminology. Example: in 3.8.1 you use "PHYS Attribute" in 3.8.2 you use "PHYS score" in both cases you mean look up your PHYS Attribute in the Score column"
Fixed.

When I don't say I fixed something, it's either because I decided against it or because it has already been reported and fixed 🙂
