Spells, items, etc. may grant night vision to everyone. (2) The advanced character sheet has the abilities out of order. They should be "Spring, Size, then Life Force" (3) The "Resist Disease" action (NT vs Disease) will be added. For when you get bit by a rabid dog or whatever. (4) All starter whips have a "Pain" rating = 5d (See "Pain"). (5) The "Spell Arrow" spell glyph is over powered, ..So each spell arrow will only cause 2p "two points" of damage (3p with a MG=10+). Also, the target may now roll WP x 2 vs MG to take half damage, round down = 1p (6) Flanking now provides a +1d to attack rolls. (7) Counter attacks will no longer be allowed to respond to a counter attack.
