The howling of damned gods

p.125, The agents’ plan, 1st § : « see the handout on page XX », and The reformists, 1st § : « written orders (see the handout on page XX »
p.127, A grave discovery : « Suggestions on the matter can be found on page XX. »
p.129, What happens to those who are rejected ?, 1st § : « the Queen’s Legation on page XX »
An alternative bandit chief, 1st § : « The Promised Land (page XX) »
p.134, Game opening, last § : « with Huberdo (see page XX) »
p.140, tracking down the heretic, last § : « see the map on page XX »
p.141, The scene of the ambush, 4th § : « a chance to repent (see page XX) » and last § : « A handout of the letter can be found on page XX »
p.143, Thunder, 1st § : « In his hands it has the following stats (also, see page XX) »
The long hammer inflicts a base of 2d6 / 2d8 when used with one hand / two hands. Is this property carried over to a player character who uses the hammer ? It should be stated, as usually in DD5, weapons with bigger dice for damage cannot be used by PCs, too cumbersome, and too powerful.
p.144, The Trout : what are the stats of Marella ? It could be useful in case characters use spells on her for example.
p.147, Ravine and guard post, 2nd § : « same stats as the guards on page XX »
p.148, Elsana stats block : « AC 13 (robes) » is it a blessed robe ? Standard robes have AC 10 as base, thus it should be AC 12 only with such robes.
p.149, Warrior monk stat block : « AC 14 (studded leather) ». Studded is AC 12 base, and Dex is +1. It should be 13. Unless they benefit a feature equivalent to Staff Fighting, but it could be specified.
p.150, A final battle, last § : « twice as many Veterans (page 198) » There is no Veteran on Bestiary p.198. Maybe Officer ?

What’s bred in the bone

p.166, Game opening, 1st § : « the adventure (see Incentives on page XX) »
2nd § : « conflicts that the people of Ravenia have not been affected by thus far » I would use « so far »
p.167, The death of the hunted, last § : « The Priest’s Home (page XX) »
p.169, The priest’s home, last § : « Ombaros notes can be found on page XX »
p.172, The young god’s chapel, 2nd § : « the earlier description (see page XX) »
p.175, Algaya stat block, Thorn Cloak : « To-hit: +6 », according to the item description it should be +8, and it is usually specified as « +8 to hit »
And at the en of § : « See page XX. »
p.176, The fortress, 3rd § : « just inside the gate (see page XX) »
p.181, Tracking the high priest, 2nd § : « Truth Serum (see page XX) »
Malina of the Whip of Prios, what she has to say : « each sun she has previously seen in action consisted of ten or so knights », but saying that 10 knights could lay waste to an entire barbarian settlement seems overstated, and later on p.183, it is said « almost thirty ». The difference is quite large. Is she lying or is it a typo ?
p.182, Sister Malina stat block : « Skills Athletics +7, Insight +4, Perception +4, Persuasion +1 » should be respectively +8 +5 +5 +2. « Passive Perception 14 » thus becomes 15
p.188, Ervano Vearra stat block : « Skills Insight +4, Perception +4, Persuasion +4 » should be all +5. Passive Perception 15 then. « Corruption 1/4 » should be 1/8. Executioner’s sword « +9 to hit », the magical sword apparently grants +1 to hit but +0 to damage which is unusual. Is it a typo ?
p.189, Further adventures, 2nd § : « one whose inhabitants are said worship the Young Gods », I would use « are said to worship »

Appendix

p.190, Heretic’s trail: « Range: 300 feet ». The description states 1000 feet.
p.192, Finishing blow : « The wielder can take another action on their turn to make an attack » and « Requires: your object interaction ». It is unclear, does the wearer have to use an Objet Interaction to gain an Action ? Maybe it could be specified in a single sentence : « the wielder can take another Action on top of a regular Action and Bonus Action, at the cost of an Object Interaction ». And an Action can represent 2 or even 3 attacks thanks to extra attack, so can the wielder make only one as it seems to be the case the way it is formulated ? If yes, it should be said « can make another Attack » instead of using the word Action.
Fullangra stat block : « Armor Class 14 (chain shirt) » Chain shirt is 13+ Dex (max 2), hence it should be 15.
p.194, The Iron Pact Ring, 4th § : « The Iron Pact Ring may only be attuned to an individual using a feat (see box) ». The page could be specified, as the box is several pages away, « page 197 ».
p.195, Fire Spirit stat block : « Challenge 3 (700 XP) » missing the proficiency bonus +2
« Corruption: 0/0 » should therefore be 0/2.
p.196, Thorn Cloak, Second strike : « Corruption: 1 ». Temporary or permanent corruption should be specified.
The troll cross of Ella, Mind shield :  « Corruption: 1 ». Temporary or permanent corruption should be specified.
Thunder, the long hammer, Armor breaker : « then the target’s shield has been damaged or destroyed ». Maybe a clearer statement could be used, explaining that the protection of the shield falls to 0 until repaired. And what is the criteria to decide if damaged (can be mended) or destroyed (cannot be mended)? That's 2 different effects.
Concerning armor, « its AC value is reduced by 2 ». It could be added « to a minimum of 10 ».
p.199, The Arch-builder, Present-day worship : « is to culti¬vate nature » the dash is unnecessary.

The Bell Tolls for Kastor
  • P. 98 "You are finally sapproaching" - typo.
  • P.104 - "The spawn of Symbar" mentions "A successful check" - but no DC provided (I assume default one is DC 15 for such legends)
