Please let me know if you spot any errors in the PDF and I’ll get them corrected!

In no particular order

  • p. 47 Sea Reek (Hafgufa) statblock, the Legendary creature line is formatted inconsistently from the other Legendaries.
  • p. 37 Muspelhound statblock, the phrase "may spontaneously appear near lava floes" is a non-standard usage of floe, and would be better replaced with lave flow. Floe does—coincidentally?—have its roots in Old Norse, but it has no relation to the word flow and the only usage I'm aware of is in reference to long, flat masses of floating ice.
  • p. 36 Mirth (Hamingja) statblock, the phrase "Sorrow: sings to the dreams in slumber" is awkward phrasing.
  • p. 22 Dragon of the Mists (Dreki) statblock, "Poison breath: Emits green cloud" should be "Emits a green cloud"
  • On pages 1 (title & copyright page), 8, 9 (twice), 15, 28, 51, & 54 a right single quotation mark  is incorrectly used in place of an apostrophe '
  • p. 28 Hidden Folk (Huldra) statblock, travellers is misspelled "travllers"

A few more for the list

  • p. 11 Cat, Sabre-tooth statblock, in the line that starts "Dire strike: fangs disembowel", "fangs" should have an initial capital to maintain consistency with the rest of the book
  • p. 36 Mimic statblock, same as above for the line that starts "True form: voracious gaping maw"
  • p. 6 Bear, Cave statblock, "1d6 Str damage" should be "d6 Str damage" for consistency with the rest of the book.
  • p. 18 Deathseer statblock, same as above for "1d4 Souls"
  • p. 19 Death Warden statblock, on the first line, "bearded axes (d8 | dual | 30')" the use of vertical lines on either side of "dual" created some confusion at first glance—the relationship between "d8" "dual" and "30'" was not immediately clear. It is also inconsistent with much of the rest of the document where terms like "(d6 blast)" are not separated by a vertical line (although there are some exceptions such as Gargoyle's "Fire Breath (d10 blast | 40')" using a line between "blast" and "40'" but not between "d10" and "blast.") I recommend picking one format for stats and sticking to it for readability.
  • On a related note, I noticed Death Warden uses both "30'" and "30ft" and when I looked over the rest of the document to see which was the standard I realised they're used interchangeably throughout. "ft" seems to be the standard in the core rules, so I recommend sticking with that.

Thanks Caelia, much appreciated! I’ll work through these and update the draft.

Happy to help!

  • p. 51 The new skeleton image is captioned "faded shade"
  • p. 25 Eagle of the Glacier (Gammur). For consistency, "weak to fire" should come at the end of the sentence about its immunities instead of being separated by a period.
  • p. 8 Beetle, Fire. Possibly same as above regarding "weak to ice", but a case could be made for keeping it separate because of the uniqueness of it being distracted by magic rather than immune/resistant/weak to it.
  • p. 34 The mastodon image is missing a caption.
  • p. 60 Wolf ought to come before Wolfskin, alphabetically.
  • p. 56 Now that dismembered is defined in the book, Warg's dire strike ought to refer to that.

Nice one, thanks!

Hi! I was wondering if these were a mistake or intended : 


p. 31 The Jotunn headless only has 1 DEF and 3 STR?
p. 47 SEA REEK (HAFGUFA) has 4 RES only?
p. 58 WHALE, HEATHER-BACKED (LYNGBAKR)  0 RES?

I assume it means the whales don't really "dodge" attacks as they are both resilient and too huge/not agile enough, but I was curious if it was the intent.

Wishing you all well!

Hello! 2 of these are mistakes.

One digit got cut off from the legendary creatures. The sea reek should have 24 RES and the heather-backed whale should have 20 RES.

The headless jotunn is strongest on their mount (the niflmare) as they gain the niflmare’s strength; once unmounted, they’re much weaker (hence the low strength).

Thanks for letting me know about these! I’ll include these fixes in the next PDF update.
