p24 of pdf includes a reference to Holdings that looks like it is leftover from a previous draft of the rules.

"TREASURY AND HOLDINGS: Heroes gain Treasure when they gain possession of materials and items of uncommon worth, like silver, gold, and precious gems. Representing a wealth much
beyond the ordinary, players may invest their Treasure when they are not actively adventuring. The Treasury space on the character sheet is used to record any Treasure points found by a Player-hero; The Holdings box is used in conjunction with the rules for improving one’s Standard of Living." - my emphasis, Holdings don't show up in the rules later.

"The Loremaster evaluates the plan of the players and adjudicates whether to just say ["]yes["] and grant[*s] them what they want to achieve or ask[*s] for a die roll."
Remove the comma after "players."
Change the apostrophes surrounding "say yes" to quotation marks only around the word "yes."
If you keep the sentence structure as it is, add an "s" after "grant" and "ask." The first half of the sentence uses the transitive verb forms: "evaluates" and "adjudicates." The rest of the sentence should conform by becoming "grants" and "asks."

Consider rephrasing, making parenthetical statements for both options, and adding a third option:
"The Loremaster evaluates the plan of the players and adjudicates whether to just say "yes" (granting them what they want), ask for a die roll (letting chance decide their fate), or refuse their request (if the action is outside the realm of possibilities)."

I'm sorry, but many of your 'corrections' in this thread are either subjective opinions or, as in this case, entirely incorrect. As a professional editor, it's quite troubling to see mistakes so confidently made.

For example, the transitivity of those two verbs is irrelevant, and English doesn't have differing verb forms for transitive verbs. In the second clause, it's normal to use the plain form - or bare infinitive - of the verb, as they are actually the infinitives 'to grant' and 'to ask' with the 'to' elided. No 's' is needed.

I wouldn't expect any native speaker to make that mistake, even though most people would be unable to explain the syntax.

Hello!
Please use this thread to report any typos or errors in Chapter 2 - Action Resolution in the Alpha PDF of The One Ring core rulebook. Guidelines to remember:

• Before reporting an error, please check and see if it already has been reported, and if so, don't report it again.

• If you want to discuss or feedback something that is not a clear error, don't do it here - instead, please start a new forum post the specific issue.

• Please report your feedback no later than July 20. After this date, we are unlikely to be able to make any further changes.

Thank you!

I didn't like it either, which is why I supplemented the complete rephrasing at the end of my recommendation. They asked for our opinions. I'm giving my opinions.
They asked us not to discuss it here. viewtopic.php?f=129&t=7938&start=30#p59238 If you would like to start a discussion thread, feel free.

A Player-hero may support another only if the circumstances allow it, and only the supporting hero possesses at least one rank in an appropriate Skill. Whether a Skill is deemed appropriate to the supporting action is up to the Loremaster. Only one Player-hero can spend Hope to support the active Player-hero.
