Have you sent mail to Andy asking for him to include a change log?

[christer]

Here's one change.. In the description of the frenzy skill:

If the frenzied player is taking a Blitz action and runs out of normal movement, he can stop attacking (i.i., he does not have to throw the additional block), although he can go for it to throw the block if you want him to - assuming he still has go for it squares left of course.

Page Numbers (finally)
Colored.

Sweet, that is a big bonus!

Kudos Fanatic, kudos.

The Frenzy bit isn't a change. It's a codification of a WD182 Q&A item that was left out of the LRB. As noted in the Rules Review, all older Q&A are still valid unless superceded by the newer rules. (Of course, including those Q&A in the rules is a major reason for the LRB's existence, so omitting them was an oversight!)

Cheers.

The Frenzy bit isn't a change.

I didn't mean it was a change in the rules.. I meant that it was something that differed between 1.1 and 1.2..

Perhaps I should have made it a bit clearer...

The Living Rule Book is

THE LAW

Anything else is House Rules.

[christer]

Anything else is House Rules.

The new addition is a clarification.. Before, the rulebook didn't specifically say it was supposed to be one way or another...

Anyone notice anything else?

Here's what I've noticed :
[general] Some sections have been moved around + page numbers finally added

[P.8] New section : how to stand up player with MA less than 3 (4+, no assists)
[P.16] Rules for Overtime, use of rerolls during overtime, and Penalties
[P.18] New rules when both teams want to hire the same Star : he won't play for any team and keeps the money for himself
[P.25/26] Big Guys section partially rewritten
[P.33] Pogo Stick description clarified : "the same way as if he had the Leap skill with the exception that you may make additional Leaps if you have enough movement."
[P.35] Frenzy and multiple Block can't be used simultaneously ("Frenzy is not used with secret weapon attacks or any other kind of attack other than a straightforward normal block on one opponent! ")
[P.35] If the player has the Frenzy trait, then the horns bonus applies on the second block as if it applied on the first.
[P.36] Some precision on the Mighty Blow Skill
[P.36] Razor Sharp Claws may only be used on injury rolls instead of armor or injury rolls. Strange because the Claw Trait still applies for armor or injury.
[P.48] Dungeonbowl wizard is no longer given for free. The team gains now a special contract allowing to hire a wizard for 25 000.
[P.48] Norse Team get a bonus on the Chaos Cup winnings table

[Mestari]

[P.36] Razor Sharp Claws may only be used on injury rolls instead of armor or injury rolls. Strange because the Claw Trait still applies for armor or injury.

And because the claw skill was already fixed in the 1.1 version...
The description of Side Step has also changed.

Two questions:
1.Why the appearance of new versions is not noted in the news-section of the official bb page?

2. And why is it so hard to add a section to the LRB which accounts for the changes between versions? It doesn't have to be a description of the changes, just a list of things changed, like:
1.2
Added
-overtime rules
-stuff
-stuff 2
Modified:
-side step
-frenzy
-thing
-thing 2

It could also be outside the LRB, but it is definitely needed. Also a change to the disclaimer that you can download a new copy of LRB every time a new version comes up.

I'm a bit confused about the entry for Horns in the LRB.

If the player has the Frenzy trait, then the horns bonus applies on the second block as if it applied on the first.

Does this mean just if it applied on the first?

[Anthony_TBBF]

Thanks luthorvd!

[Acerak]

It's supposed to say "block if," not "block as if."
