Spotted a little innacurate info on the Index, p. 199:

- On the G, and on the GM's Options, it refers to Life Points Option on p. 99, which has been removed from the book.

In the index too:

A
Accelerated Healing 54, 166, 168

There aren't any reference to this talent in the last two pages. This must be like this:
Accelerated Healing 54

Page 97: repeated sentence at the end of the "Full Shield" description.
"Usually 4’ to 5’ long and 3’ wide. This shield is usually gripped by a single handle and a forearm strap.
Typical length is about 4’ and 2’ to 3’ wide. This shield is usually gripped by a single handle and a forearm strap."

Page 121:
Minor Healing says "Reduce a maneuver penalty by up to 20 points." Shouldn't it be "by up to 25 points" to be consistent with the light injury rules?

Also, is there a rough estimate for the next update? Thank you!

I am reading the rulebook (print copy 2017) right now and I've found one issue. I don't know if this is errata or it's just me that couldn't find the rules in the book:

1.- page 58. Power Point Adder Example. (...) "Using this item, Jorge only has to use one Power Point over base cost, so he only receives a -5 modifier to the casting roll."

Where are the rule that explains these modifiers on the casting rolls?

Using the April 2017 update, p. 114 under "Scaling Spells".

Not even an errata, I find the grammar for the note under Additional Profession to be awkward. The wording could be simplified to: "When adding an additional profession, Additional Profession must be the first thing you spend DP on that level." The current wording isn't grammatically wrong, and I know what it wants to do, it's just doing it in a way that seems needlessly complicated to me.

That wording is done that way specifically for characters using the stat-based development points per level rule (core rulebook, p. 20-21). Under that rule, some characters might not even have 20 points to spend in a given level, so they might need to stretch out purchasing the Additional Profession talent over a couple of levels.

Then again, if your stats are so low that you don't get even 20 development points when you level up, I would personally recommend dropping ALL your points into stats for several levels, before joining your new profession!

I think Murphy was an incurable optimist.

Excepting that I have run into online conversations with people whose reading comprehension shows that they need things that spelled out for them, I would say that my original shortening would still work.

Finally got to sit down and do an in-depth read through prior to starting a new game (hopefully to sway people to the fold!) and I noted a few things. Apologies if these have been called out before.

p27 - for 'Dwarven Blood (Greater)', the ability listed underneath 'Stone Sense' is not formatted as an ability in its own right (so the 4 lines appear as a subset of the Stone Sense ability)

p53 - 'For example, an Elven Harper would get Enhanced Senses twice gaining the +10 to Perception twice' - from looking into this on the forum I believe that this is a outdated refeence to the previous version of HARP, where the Harper received the 'Enhanced Senses' talent as a bonus talent?

55/56 - 'Focused Eloquence' is listed in Table 7.1 Master Talent List as a Talent which has different levels (in the same way as Regeneration and Succor are listed); howver, unlike these 2 talents (which have 1 description covering the multiple levels) there are discrete descriptions of 'Focused Eloquence (Lesser)' and 'Focused Eloquence (Greater)' . This does not seem to be a consistent approach

p83 - 'Fighting Blind' example 2 - 'horde of chittering giant ants of chittering giant insectoids'; need to remove one instance of 'of chittering giant [type]'

p94 - Table 10.1 Full Sets of Armor - refers to 'Studded Leather Armor' and 'Plate/Chain Armor'; as this table lists armor categories, should these be 'Rigid Leather Armor' and 'Plate & Chain Armor' to be consistent with 'Armor Categories' on p93?

P94/95 - the MxMP mentions 'The Maximum Maneuver Penalty... also modifies any DB gained from the Quickness stat bonus'; however, no mention is made of this for MnMP, UF MaxMP or UF MinMP

p95 - Table 10.2 (Armor By Location) lacks an entry for 'Shirt/hauberk'

p95 - 'Armor Skill Refresher' - Jax would need to add 11 (rather than 6) ranks to reduce the penalty of wearing plate chain to -15

p148 - the preparation methods are referred to as Contact/Ingest/INJECT, whilst the poison table uses Contact/Ingest/PASTE; as these are both the Prep portion of Form/Prep should these not be consistent?

Quick question: I own a hardback of the 2013 HARP Fantasy rulebook. Is it worth buying the 2017 version for play? I can’t find a list of the differences. Any advice on this welcome.

The 2017 is just a quick update to the 2013 PDF as I recall. So, clean up mostly. Which is not to say the 2017 update is without its own errors.
