GURPS Fantasy - Errata

ERRATA - GURPS Fantasy - July 23, 2010

P. 1. — On the cover page, Philip Reed was omitted; he should be credited as the cartographer. Michael Suileabhain-Wilson should have been given "Additional Material" credit.
P. 26. — Under Djinn Lamp, change "Djinn have a racial cost of 275 points." to "Djinn have a racial cost of 265 points." (This erratum stems from the change to the Djinni template on p. 107).
P. 49. — Under Panther, replace: Anyone exposed to it must roll vs. HT-2 (vs. HT at 1/2D range) or become obsessed with the sweet scent and begin walking toward the panther at Move 1. When the first victim comes within 3 yards, the panther springs and attacks (biting and raking with the hind legs). If it kills the victim the panther drags him off the trail to devour him. A victim can roll vs. Will-5 to resist the lure effect. with Anyone exposed to it must roll vs. HT-2 (vs. HT at 1/2D range) or become obsessed with the sweet scent. Anyone so obsessed must immediately make a self-control roll (6 or less) or begin walking toward the panther at Move 1. When the first victim comes within 3 yards, the panther springs and attacks (biting and raking with the hind legs). If it kills the victim the panther drags him off the trail to devour him.: and under Traits, change "Affliction 3 (Disadvantage: Obsession, +5%; Cone, 1-yard width, +60%; Smell-Based, +50%; Mana-Sensitive, -10%)" to "Affliction -3 (Disadvantage: Obsession (6), +10%; Cone, 1-yard width, +60%; Smell-Based, +150%; Mana-Sensitive, -10%)".
P. 86. — Under Landslide, change "losing 1 HT/second" to "losing 1 FP/second."
P. 87. — Under Drought, change "roll vs. Survival daily to avoid doubled fatigue and HT loss." to "roll vs. Survival daily to avoid losing 1 extra FP and 1 HP (see p. B426)."
P. 105. — Under Centaur, delete the sentence "The arms are substantially less strong than the legs and equine body."
P. 107. — Change the cost of Djinni to 265 points (this also changes the Djinn Lamp erratum on p. 26).
P. 108. — Raise the point value of the Elf template to 70; under Racially Learned Skills change "Connoisseur (Natural Environments) (A) IG [2]-10." to "Connoisseur (Natural Environments) (A) IQ-1 [1]-9." (Note: The Connoisseur skill has been changed to IQ-1, an alteration to this erratum.)
P. 109. — In the Imp template, change the trait "Magical Powers" to "Magical Spirit."
P. 110. — The Selkie template should be 90 points, because Alternate Form should actually be 15 points. This is determined as follows: The point cost of Selkie Human Form is 80 points. The cost of Selkie is 90 points, minus the point cost of Alternate Form (15 points) equals 75 points. The difference is 5 points. The cost of Alternate Form is 15 points base, Skinbound limitation -35% gives 9.75 points, rounded to 10, plus 5 points excess template cost, reduced to 90% gives 4.5 points, rounded to 5; total 10+5 = 15. In other words, the limitation applies only to the base cost of Alternate Form, not to the template excess cost.
P. 111. — Lower the Female Troll template cost to 65 points. Lower the Vampire template cost to 80 points; this alters the cost of the Vampire Mage template on p. 112.
P. 112. — Lower the Vampire Mage template cost to 135 points (this results from the lower point cost of the Vampire template on p. 111). The Werewolf template should be 29 points, because Alternate Form should actually be 48 points. This is determined as follows: The point cost of Wolf Form is 25 points. The cost of Werewolf is 29 points, minus the point cost of Alternate Form (48 points) equals -19 points. The difference is 44 points. The cost of Alternate Form is 15 points base, limitations -50% gives 7.5 points, rounded to 8, plus 44 points excess template cost, reduced to 90% gives 39.6 points, rounded to 40; total 8+40 = 48. In other words, the limitation applies only to the base cost of Alternate Form, not to the template excess cost.
P. 116. — Under the Bandit's secondary skills, change "Area Knowledge (A)" to "Area Knowledge (E)".
P. 120. — In the Holy Man template, change the point cost of additional Charisma from 2/level to 5/level.

B26."
