See what I mean about many eyes ;) if the pdf's go out before the print order you'll get lots of fixes... I know it's John's call.

shouldn't it be "except that"

Ill have to look for typos as the thief xp issue and item 1 and 2 totally flew by me as I wasn't reading that closely

Indeed, stylistically I would prefer "except that." My point here was that I suspect the text meant to read "excepting [that]" and "expecting" slipped in by mistake (a rather easy mistake to make, and also very easy to overlook in the editing process).

Two quick and easy to fix errors I noticed:

(1) In the section on Clerics, the word "forbade" should be "forbidden" (i.e. "In performing their duties clerics are allowed shields and any armor but are forbidden the use of edged or piercing weapons.") Forbade is the preterite (e.g. I forbid today, and I forbade yesterday.); forbidden is the passive participle (e.g. What I forbade yesterday is still forbidden today.)

(2) In the section on Dwarfs, the word "expecting" should be "excepting" (i.e. "Dwarfs are fighters excepting they are the only characters..."), since I presume the idea here is that Dwarfs are in every respect fighters except for the facts that only they make full use of the +3 hammer.


@llenlleawg, thanks -- I'll check the final copy :)

@everyone -- where were you guys when we were begging for proofreaders months ago? ;D

I guess, to me, dwarfs just makes me think of people with dwarfism, whereas dwarves makes me think of the mythological smiths. I realize that is only true inside my head, but just offering the feedback. Also, OSRIC does use dwarfs, so it would not be unique to Delving Deeper, just FYI.

A man may do both. For not we but those who come after will make the legends of our time. The green earth, say you? That is a mighty matter of legend, though you tread it under the light of day! —J.R.R. Tolkien

sacks and backpacks hold 30 ilbs but listing with prices shows sack large as 40 ilbs
small sack also disagrees with itself

EDIT>

I agree. I much prefer dwarves to dwarfs.

So, using "dwarfs" might be considered morally wrong? ;)

I like it so far. I hope we're going to get some cool supplements after it's out. :)
