Errata: Assembled Edition

From ICONS: Truth, Justice, and Gaming

Please post any errata for the Assembled Edition that you have found or suspect. Please include page number.

Posted by Norbert Franz on Facebook:

Found on page 136 (IAE), "Rushing" paragraph, results:

"Marginal Success: You strike a glancing blow as you rush past the target, dealing half your (rounded down)."

Obviously, an incomplete sentence. It turns out that from the context on this page, this should be: "...You strike a glancing blow as you rush past the target, dealing half the damage of your rushing attack (e.g. half of either the attacker's Strength +1 or the attacker's movement level +1, whichever is higher) (rounded down)."

I hope I'm right. I found a few more errata in that chapter that I'm going to post soon.

also from Facebook:

John McMullen: Other people have asked this; I can't find the answer in my notes so I guess I didn't write it down.

In Great Power, the Vehicles power says simply "You have a vehicle; see Movement devices." The Movement devices section doesn't mention the power that I can see.

However, the Vehicles power must give you some pool of points to buy a vehicle (it can't be one-for-one; otherwise no one could get even a speedboat). Maybe a rank in Vehicles gets you 4 vehicle points (by analogy with Servant): Your rocket-powered skateboard could have 1 Handling, 2 Speed, 1 Structure and no armor. (Okay, maybe it's a fine-tuned Italian racing bicycle. It's an example, okay?)

Have I missed it somewhere in the text, because Steve and I usually don't organize the same? (I am NOT claiming I organize.)

Does someone remember the ratio? Steve Kenson, maybe this correction (or the actual correction) could go on your list of "Things to do when I spin an update of the Great Power pdf"?

Steve Kenson: Yes, it should be a 1:4 ratio. I’ll have to take a look when I have access to my books.

John McMullen: Thank you, Mr. Kenson. I am extra sorry if it's there and I missed it. Oh, and my example was meant to be of a Vehicles 1 power.

Steve Kenson: "A vehicle’s abilities can total no more than four times the level of the movement power the vehicle is based upon." This is under "Vehicles" on p. 114 of Icons AE. It probably should have been repeated in Great Power for clarity, however. I'll make a note of it, should the opportunity arise.
