True20 Expert's Handbook

Throughout

The tables should be left-aligned rather than center-aligned, in order to make them much easier to read. (See especially Chapter Three.)

Table of Contents (p. 2)

The Index is on p. 95; insert "License......96".

Chapter Two: Skills (p. 13)

p. 18, Computer Hacking: Physical Access and Internet Access should be indented--both are part of Access the Site.

pp. 24-25, Diplomacy: In the second paragraph under Mediate, "you loss" should be "you lose".

pp. 27-28, Gather Information: Under Interviewing, the Stranger line should read "10" (not "20").

pp. 35-36, Search: In the name of the first use, capitalize "trap".

pp. 38-39, Survival: Under the Condition modifiers to Trail Signs, the "Poor visibility" entries should be indented (and all lines left-aligned).

Chapter Three: Feats (p. 41)

The feats in the tables on pp. 42-45 are out of alphabetical order. They were intended to be presented in the "feat tree" format used in the d20 PHB, but the table was not left-justified, so the necessary indentations were lost. Also, these feat trees are far too complex for the stream-lined nature of True20; most should be rewritten to simplify their rules and/or eliminate unnecessary feats.

pp. 42-43, General Feats: The following feats are first-tier (no indentation): Affable through Improved Feint; Improved Taunt, Legacy, Manipulative; Master Haggler, Menacing Demeanor; Merchant's Eye through Silver-Tongued[1]; Superior Disarm; Superior Sunder[2]; Superior Trip; Urban Tracking, Vermin Empathy. All others should be indented. 

    [1] Under Silver-Tongued, Campaigner, Influence Crowd, and Inspire Devotion are second-tier; the feats immediately following them are third-tier (indent twice or more). 

    [2] Under Superior Sunder, Precise Sunder, Sunder Armor, and Two-Weapon Sunder are second-tier; the feats immediately following Precise Sunder are third-tier (indent twice or more).

pp. 44-45, Expert Feats: The following feats are first-tier (no indentation): Acrobatic Mobility; Artisan, Awareness[1]; Bewitching through Fascinate (Handle Animal)[2]; Gifted Skill, Hindering Strike; Improved Deflect Arrows[3]; Inspire through Precise Strike. All others should be indented. 

    [1] Under Awareness, Ambush Sense, Conflict Sense, Intuition, and Trap Sense are second-tier; the feats immediately following them are third-tier (indent twice or more). 

    [2] Under Fascinate (Handle Animal), Calm Nature and Suggestion (Handle Animal) are second-tier; the feats immediately following them are third-tier (indent twice or more). 

    [3] Under Improved Deflect Arrows, Armed Deflection, Supernatural Deflection, Unamed Deflection, and Unarmed Supernatural Deflection are second-tier; the feats immediately following them are third-tier (indent twice or more).

p. 48, Campaigner: In the table, Legion should be "(641-5,800)"; Army should be "(5,801+)".

p. 52, Gather Partisans: In the example text, "4-th" should be "4th-".

Chapter Four: Optional Rules (p. 61)

p. 63, Curiosity: See "New Fields of Study" under Academia (p. 62).

p. 65, Why Complex Checks: The Chance for Success table should be at the end of this section, not in the middle of the column.

pp. 67-68, Disable Device: In the first sentence on p. 68, "Challenge Rating" should be "level".

p. 68, Escape Artist: The Restraint column should be left-aligned, with all entries under Manacles indented.

p. 69, Fantasy Languages: The True20 Bestiary (p. 28) combines Abyssal and Infernal into a single Fiendish language. That book also states that brownies speak Sylvan, not a separate language. "Sprytes" should be "Sprites". "Under Common" should be "Undercommon". Note that the rules here do not follow the core rules, where Language skill checks are not made, and each rank of Language gives fluency with a new language.

p. 72, Skill Training: In the second paragraph, "Good skill" should be "Medium skill", as in the first paragraph.

Chapter Five: Equipment (p. 73)

p. 76, Adventuring Gear: Under Criminal Gear, the four lines after "Acid needles" should be indented. Under Surveillance Gear, the two lines after "Taps" should be indented. Under Weapon Accessories, the four lines after "Detonators" should be indented.
