 P. 26: Clarification
Spending Combat Skill Points to gain additional Combat Bonuses to Control or Damage also
increases the maximum bonus available for that Combat Bonus. The example in the text is
correct: the extra Combat Bonus obtained in PL 6 makes the total Bonus +3 and the maximum
bonus equal to 3. Because of that, at PL 7 the maximum bonus for that Combat Bonus is 4, so
the Fighter can invest the new Combat Bonus on the same Combat Bonus (up to the maximum
+4) and then the 3 Combat Skill Points acquired at PL 7 to bring both the bonus and its
maximum to +5.

P. 30: The following phrase

“When a character achieves Power Level 2, he chooses one of the four categories in which to
take a +1 bonus. At Power Level 3, he may choose a different bonus at +1, or he can choose the
same bonus to become +2.”

Should be replaced with

“When a character achieves Power Level 2, he chooses one of the four categories in which to
take a +1 bonus. At Power Level 3, he may choose a different bonus at +1. At Power Level 4, he
may choose a new bonus or he can choose to increase an existing bonus to become +2.”

P. 116: Clarification
Time Count duration begins on the turn in which the effect activates. If the time roll for that turn
exceeds the duration, the effect still lasts for one more turn minimum. However, if the
subsequent time roll exceeds the duration, the effect ends at the end of the turn.

Extended Execution Keyword should have the following entry:

Extended Execution: The move usually takes more than one action to complete.
Moves with this Keyword need special consideration when combined with some Elements and
Liabilities, due to the particular way they are used in combat.
Elements and Liabilities should be applied to the second and final use of the move, with the
following exceptions:
For Power Up, the Control version of this Element can be applied to the first or second
execution of the move, but this must be defined when the move is first designed. Utility Combo
Opener and Easy to Combo are applied to both executions of the move (when appropriate).
Glory is gained only when the second execution of an Extended Execution move is used
successfully.

Damir White (Order #39335866)

 P. 117: Basic Keyword should have the following entry:
Basic: This move is not considered a Special Move when constructing a Combo. Offensive

Special Move is halved.

It is possible to absorb an attack and do damage at the same time if the absorbing move has
the Offensive keyword.

effects.

Description: This move is specially designed to block an opponent’s attack while launching an
immediate counterattack. This move allows the defender to use the Counter Defensive
Response, but the move may not be used as a normal attack or as a Reaction Attack. This
move may not be used for any other Defensive Responses.

Example: This Element represents moves that can only be executed while actively blocking an
incoming attack, usually pushing the attacker back or knocking him down.

P. 137: End Buff Element should have the following entry:

Description: This Special Move can be used to end a specific active Buff (see page 128 above),
defined when this Special Move is created. All effects of the Buff are active on this move when

movement. There is an additional Liability that can be applied to this Element.

effects.

P. 140: Flight Element should have the following paragraphs added to the description:
The Evasion bonus granted by this Element is nullified in the following situations:
1) If the combatant has been Knocked Down. The bonus returns if the Fighter stands up without
being interrupted (i.e. it does not apply when the opponent Holds Initiative and declares an

Damir White (Order #39335866)

 attack as the Fighter stands up or if the opponent uses a Reaction Attack while the Fighter is
standing) and if time remains.
2) If the combatant is affected by a move with the Harry, Entangle, or Critical Hit Elements.

Ranged attack and once with a Reflection move with the Offensive keyword within range. In this
case, the reflected attack is resolved first (using half Defense or Evasion Skill) and then the
Interrupt attack is resolved (using half Defense Skill, unless the Interrupt attack is also Aerial.
See p. 231). Damage from both attacks is not combined when calculating Stun. The defender
could select either attack to start a Combo.

Tactics Skills are increased by one (defined when the move is designed). An additional Quality
(and corresponding Liability) can be spent to count lower Defense by two to increase Evasion or
Tactics by two, but no additional Qualities can be used to modify defenses.”

Should be replaced with

“A Fighter is Knocked Down when he is successfully attacked by an attack that includes the

up instead of moving or attacking. The normal effects of Hit Stun do not apply in this case, and he
can still stand even if he was using Total Defense. On the following turn, the Fighter reduces his
die size for Initiative by one. The Total Defense bonus does not apply (if applicable).”
