Dwarven resistance

[Fizz]

Hi all-

The original Core Rules from the original boxed set says that dwarves take half-damage from bludgeoning attacks. Cool

The 3e BRCS says the same thing- dwarves take half-damage from bludgeoning attacks. That is consistent.

However, in the latest, 3.5e BRCS, this has changed to dwarves have DR 5 / piercing & slashing attacks. The mechanic difference is one matter, but why has the resistance changed from bludgeoning to anything-but-bludgeoning? This makes no sense, and I can find no reason for this change.

What is up with that?

Well, in the absence of any replies, i propose we update the 3.5 BRCS to put Dwarven resistance back to what it should be- resistant to bludgeoning.

How do we or who does that? I updated the Cerilian Dwarves entry on the wiki (http://www.birthright.net/forums/sho...arves_Cerilian) , but i don't think i have permissions for the BRCS page (http://www.birthright.net/forums/sho...arves_Cerilian).

Any corrections for the BRCS 3.5e go onto the Errata page at http://www.birthright.net/forums/sho...le=BRCS:Errata, since the wiki is not the original document - it is just a version of the original document. For consistency, a new version of the original document has to be written that corresponds to the fixes in the Errata, and only then the wiki can be updated to new version of the document.

This is sort of what I started doing last year. I might have the time to get around to continuing it in January, now that I have docx files that are reasonable matches to the current BRCS pdf files.

I'll add it to the Errata page (which is protected like the wiki), unless someone speaks up.

Well, no one has objected yet, so i say add it to the errata. You know you want to.
