AMENDMENT TO SECTION 3.01 The values quoted for the absorption prop- erties of armour do not take into account how the armour is worn. Both chain and cuirass would be worn with a layer of quilted padding underneath, and the same is true for a great Helm or metal helm. Thus the table in this section should be amended as follows... Armour Edged Stab Crush None: ° ° ° Padded leather: f 1 1 Hardened or Studded leather: 2 2 2 Chain: 4 4 4 Cuirass: 5 I 5 Leather helm: al 2 2 Steel helm: 4 4 4 Great helm: 5 ) 5 AMENDMENT TO SECTION 3.02 The attack factor for missiles ,MA, is now distinct from the attack factor for melee. The basic missile attack factor is found by adding together the normal A factors for Strength,Manual Dexterity and Intelligence and adding 1 to the total. Refer to the amendment to section 3.09 for details of increasing MA.AMENDMENT TO SECTION 3.09 Extra points normally added to D or A when a character increases in rank may be exchanged for increses in other skills. Up to one or two of these points gained per rank may be used instead to increase thief type skills(if played) or used on a one-to-one basis to increase the character's missile attack(MA) factor. These trade-offs are not reversible. For example, a warrior of rank 5 and with As 11,D= 12,MA= 5 reaches rank 6. He choses to increase his A-factor to 12 but decides to leave his D-factor at 12 and increase his MA factor to 6 instead.AMENDMENT TO SECTION 6.06 The following tables are to be used to determine the type and powers of magical weapons found: Weapon Type: Bonus _and Probability of Special Powers 01-26 ‘Sword 01-70 +1 on A&D, 10% prob of poer 21-30 Dagger 71-90 42 on A&D, 15% prob of power 31-35 2 Handed Sword 91-96 +3 on A&D, 20% prob of power 36-40 Short sword 97-99 + on A&D, 40% prob of power 41-45 Hand Axe 00 +5 on A&D, 70% prob of power 46-55 Battle Axe : 56-60 Spear For missile weapons(including bows 61-66 “Short bow slings and croosbows) the bonus id 67-69 Long bow applied to MA only. : 70 Light Crossbow 71 Heavy Crossbow 72-80 Arrow or quarrel Note that normal missiles fired trom a magical bow,ete do not count as bilas “aes magical missiles. 86-90 Morning Star 91-93 Flail 94 Polearm 95 _Halbard : 96 Pike 97 Lance. 98-00 _ Javelin Special Powers of Weapons 01-30 Weapon does extra damage.
