Darklands: Second Edition - Official Errata v2.05

[Rob Lane]

Everyone,
This page will list all of the official errata for the Darklands: Second Edition rule book, version 2.05.

Each of these erratum will eventually be provided upon a PDF document that can be printed out, with each offending paragraph(s) having a separate entry so that they can be cut out and stuck in to the rule book.

Each quote below will replace a particular paragraph in the rule book.

Cheers
Rob

It begins... thanks to Joe and Jim, the Flowerpot Binmen:

Page 49:
2·4·4·1·7
DEAF

Second sentence:

"Such Deaf warriors are unaffected by Roar actions and Shriek actions, and cannot be affected by instruments or host instruments - or by host heralds or heralds - at all."

Cheers

The Flowerpot Binmen known as Joe and Jim have spotted a few things:

Page 170:
6·1·4·1
ONE LINKED ACTION

First sentence:

No more than one voluntary vigorous or voluntary wearying linked action can be performed in the same activation.

Soaring needs to change slightly:

Page 176:
6·6·1·1
REQUIREMENTS

Order: if the Soaring unit is under an ATTACK order, it is Soaring to Engage an enemy Circling unit in combat, or it is Soaring as a linked action

6·6·2·1
UNDER ATTACK ORDERS

Units under ATTACK orders may only Soar to Engage an enemy Circling unit in combat (unless they are Soaring as a linked action), and this counts as an Indirect Engagement action.

When can a shrieker Hold and Shriek? The answer: when they bally well want!

Page 355:
7·10·6·2
Engaging unit is Circling or Diving

After the last paragraph:

Similarly, the engaged shriek distance against Diving or Circling units is dependent upon the shrieker's wishes.

Shoot reacting a Landing circler? Yes please!

Page 371:
7·30·1·1
REQUIREMENTS

Enemy Movement: an enemy unit (now called the Approaching Target unit) has Moved closer to the Shoot Reacting unit in the enemy activation before this reaction. If an enemy unit has Landed from circling, calculate the shoot distance before it Landed and the shoot distance after it Landed; if the shoot distance is lower after it Landed, it can become the Approaching Target unit

Cheers

Another cracker from Dayle and Jim:

Page 318:
6·57·2·1
GOADED UNIT REQUIREMENTS

Friendly: the potential Goaded unit is friendly and Bound to the Goading unit

with a new one after that:

Goaded: the potential Goaded unit has not already taken a GOAD TEST in its current activation

and

Page 319:
6·57·3·1·3
PASSED GOAD TEST

Charge! In the current activation the Goaded unit must perform a compulsory Direct Engagement action (or Indirect Engagement action if it cannot perform a Direct one), chosen by the Goaded unit's player, against any enemy unit the Goading unit wishes, but only if the Goading and Goaded unit are both lively.

Cheers

An excellent question from Scott Atkinson has led to this change to Inspiring...

Page 307:
6·51·2
INSPIRED UNIT

End of the second paragraph:

...as long as that leader's AUTHORITY is lower than the AUTHORITY of the Inspirer (excepting host warriors - meaning, the AUTHORITY of Inspiring host warriors can be lower than the Inspired unit's leader's AUTHORITY).

Cheers
Rob
