As I did last year, I'll do in December a final version of QtR28.
If you have errata, want to add things, or point for me editing/formatting mistakes, let me know here.
Please post name of article, and tell me where the fix is needed : page, column one or two, paragraph start with ... Don't make me search the whole book
Then describe the fix needed.
Post them here before December 3rd?
---
To follow what needs to be done, I'll add a note that the correction / change / addition has been added to the book, so if you want to edit your change, make another post!
"A full set of (game) rules is so massively complicated that the only time they were all bound together in a single volume, they underwent gravitational collapse and became a black hole" (Adams)
In Conch Shell of Dagon there is a table missing (page 354), it was after Special (Child of Dagon) table. It is for more extreme (Cthullu-like) transformations. It was missed in
editing so I will add it here:
If a character rolls a special transformation roll on two consequent times the transformation takes a new turn as the transformative power of the Conch Shell of Dagon becomes
more extreme, slowly transforming the individual into a broken one, an amalgam of man, fish and octopus. If a second special consequent roll is rolled the character becomes a
broken one and it's descrription changes to aberration.
Roll 1d6 to see which part of the body changes first and then for the second change choose one more capability from the Broken One template.
1 One leg becomes a tentacle, the character gains a slam attack 1d4+3 but moves 5ft slower, OR +6
2 The character's body becomes soft, rubbery and pliable like a molusk's, characters can flatten their body allowing them to slip into spaces with at least a 1-inch gap, OR +6
3 One arm becomes a tentacle, character can attack for 1d4+3 damage but loses any feat that needs the use of that hand. If the tentacle hits it's target, it may immediatlely
attempt to grapple it without provoking an attack of opportunity as if having the Improved Grab (Ex) ability. If it wins the grapple it establishes a hold and may immediately
constrict the foe for damage equal to it's base tentacle attack, OR+6
4 Character's skin gains chromatophore cells that can change color based on the characters activity or surrounding gaining camouflage when standing still DC 24 spot check
to notice, +4 Hidding checks, OR+1
5 Torso grows a swarm of tentacles. They grasp and entwine around creatures within 5ft holding them fast and crushing them with great strength. Every creature attacked
must make a grapple check, opposed by the grapple check of the tentacles. Once the tentacles grapple an opponent, they may make a grapple check each round to deal
1d6+4 points of bludgeoning damage. OR+6
6 Head transforms insto a swarm of tentacles resembling an eyless illithid, the character gains blind sight. Once the tentacles grapple an opponent, they may make a grapple
check each round to deal 1d4+3 points of bludgeoning damage. OR +7

"I am not omniscient, but I know a lot."

Falkovnian Rebels page 217 after the first paragraph "events of rebellion VladDrakov’s life and important events of rebellion." we could add the following...
Dread Possibility: False Flag Operations
Each assassination attempt described is not necessarily a historical fact, it may be a fixed event created by payed foreign provocateurs or random events that are used as a "cause" to "justify" an invasion to a neighbouring domain or an attack on the populace.

Sins of the Father
Vigo Dragov alignment in his stats on page 205 are written (chaotic evil) that is my mistake, I forgot to correct that, he is Neutral Evil.
Spawn of the Lizard
page 226 the title of that section should be The Dragon, the Forgotten Emperor Basiliskis (it writes Basiliscus which is another character... honest mistake though)
Image relocation if possible...
page 232 the image is that of Bakiliskis but it accompanies the section titled Basilisk the Freedom Fighter and is a bit confusing. I suggest if it possible to move the image to page 231 before the Dread Possibility: An Ancient Bloodline and move the illustration with the reptilian eyes maybe to page 234 under the The testimony of Niklaus Kaiserhof, I believe it can fit there. If not maybe the reptilian eyes may fit in page 245. If that isn't possible too then if you replace the small lizard on page 236 (on the left under the Dread Possibilities) with the eyes, I am sure it fits there and and erase that small lizard from the article. Then again you can let it as it is, the portraits are obvious in the character stats anyway.
Cyclops Page 258 the quote is by ― Ira Levin, The Boys from Brazil (the "L" is missing in Brazil)
Conch Shell page 362 the adventure idea: The Shadow Kingdom is from another article (erase it ).
Overall very nice editing work. Thank you guys for all the time you've spent working on it.

The author naming convention for my articles needs to be standardized. Hands Stained With Shadow, A Primer to the Umbra Peoples, Judgement on Silent Wings and Students of Sylvan Sorcery should all have the author displayed as Jonathon "Hell_Born" Crawford.

I had a list of PrC abreviations somewhere, but now I can't find it.
But it's indeed a good idea to fully write the class names the first time being used in the article, then switch to the abreviation if mentioned again.

Agreed
so maybe write it as...

Some of these may have never actually happened, being only fake news created for Drakov's own purposes but they can also be used as adventure ideas that involve the PCs.

Speaking of errata, shouldn't ole C.D. have a higher score in Knowledge (Ravenloft)? I seem to recall his modifier is +3, when he's meant to have maxed-out cross-class ranks in the skill as a prerequisite for entering the FoS Prc.
