[PnP] Proofreading P&P version 2

[Wout Broere]

Much appreciated.


 > First of all Powers and Perils has 'dwarfs' not 'dwarves'

There were quite a lot of dwarves in the original text from Richard. 
Hopefully all are now dwarfs.

 > page 20 "The energy cost to use this power for EL+1 hours equals the 
master’s EL+1." Isn't this just a long winded way of saying it uses 1 
energy per hour?

No, this implies you select the EL at the start, determine success, and 
spend energy for the full duration at the start. The 1 energy per hour 
implies you can extend each hour, but would have to reroll for success 
each hour as well.

Not changed.

 > page 20 Supernatural Will, "Characters that have this attribute also 
have the evil eye if their rating is 11." What rating are you refering 
to and does it have to be exactly 11?

Their native ability increase (explanation added.)

 > page 24 "When a wound is suffered that leaves the character with an 
HPV value less than one, a roll is taken on the Death Table."  There is 
no Death Table

Corrected to Bleeding Wounds Table.

 > page 89 The formula for the Duration of Unconsciousness is 
"(100-Stamina)+(Actual Damage×10) turns" but the math is the example is 
" (100-30)+(2×2), 74 turns"

This was in v1. Corrected the example and changed to 18 minutes.


All the others mistakes have been changed as suggested.


A new version is now available for download from the site.

Thanks,
Wout
