The Book of Eldritch Might Errata and Clarifications
0Thanks to everyone who's written me with questions about The Book of Eldritch Might. Your messages have helped me develop this list of errata points and clarifications.
Errata
P. 1 Title should be The Book of Eldritch Might. (Well, if you're going to make a typo, you might as well make a big one!) Download a new and improved title page here. (268k PDF)
P. 12. Change the saving throw for conditional spell to Yes (harmless) and Spell Resistance to Yes. (Conceivably, you could put this on an unwilling target so that the next time he or she gets a cure serious wounds spell, a fireball goes off.)
P. 14. In the spell greater mark of air, ignore the reference to the Reflex save for half damage vs. wall of wind.
P. 17-18. In the spells mark of earth, mark of fire,and mark of water, the range of the attacks made possible by the use of thisspell is medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level).
(Various). The following spells should have these descriptors [in brackets]:
Acidic Curse [Acid]
Bind Item [Force]
Chains of Vengeance [Fire]
Coldscream [Cold, Sonic]
Cross of Lightning [Electricity]
Electrical Deluge [Electricity]
Elemental Shroud [varies]
Enchanting Flavor [Mind-Affecting]
Flaming Corrosion [Acid, Fire]
Freezing Claw [Cold]
Mark of Death [Death]
Silent Sound [Sonic]
Teleport Redirect [Teleportation]
P. 22 Change teleport tracer's school to Divination.
P. 24-25. All of the brands made by rods of branding --in particular the silence, spellsleep, true rest, and weakness rods -- should have a duration 5d10 days like the brandthrall rod.
P. 26. Book of roses should have the prerequisite freedom of movement instead of what's listed.
P. 26.Bottled whirlwind should have the prerequisite whirlwind instead of what's listed.
P. 27. In the description of the mirror of vanity, delete the sentence that says "The amount is determined by a die roll." It has no meaning.
P. 28. The wand wrap should be limited to wands of spells with no XP component.
P. 28. Delete the reference in the psychic skiff to Maneuverability Class A. It should be "perfect."
P. 35. The brass hydra should have an Initiative Mod of -1, not +1.
Clarifications
Eldritch feats are spell-like abilities and should be treated as such. In this instance, Item Image can be dispelled just as if it were a spell (with the crafter's level used as the caster level)
The embermage can't cast cold spells. Or rather, if you do, you lose your embermage abilities (like a barbarian who becomes lawful or a paladin who breaks his code)
The save DC for the embermage's internal explosion power should be, as with the ability before it, 10 + Int + embermage level.
The graven one can have only one graven image at a time.
The spell silent sound is indeed a ray.
The saving throw involved with a mirror of vanity is a Will save.
When absorbed spell levels are used to add to the damage bonus of a hungersword, it reduces the remaining number of absorbed levels. These levels cannot be used for spellcasting.
Considerations
You may want to allow embermages to start very small fires (lighting a candle or something similar) for no hit point loss. (It's not errata, but it's a good idea.)
You may want to add the following spells to the druid list at the same level listed for wizards or sorcerers. (Again, not errata, but a good idea.)
freezing claw
greater mark of air
greater mark of earth
greater mark of fire
greater mark of frost
greater mark of water
icebolt
mark of air
mark of earth
mark of fire
mark of frost
mark of water
