More bugs already, sorry! I cannot start a by-the-book campaign. It switches to custom rules automatically. I think it might have to do with the recent Shield change.

Oops. Only indirectly - I think I overwrote a line of code that sets the "Import Stats" option to the middle choice for BTB...
Anyhow, if you push the By-the-book button, and then go to the 5th page of rules, and manually change it to the middle option (choose to re-roll or keep), then you will be on "By-the-Book". I'll get this fixed soon. (It's already fixed in the code, I just mean I'll release something soon, depending on any other bugs that crop up...)

You are not supposed to get a Weaponmastery/Silver Bow bonus in this section: 245Also, on Hardcore, am I supposed to be able to pick more than the 2 initial Grand Weaponmasteries?

Maybe it is not a bug. In section 245 is stated that 'the sphere is for you difficult to miss'. IMHO there is only 50% chance that the sphere breaks. And only two weapons in Grand Weaponmastery is also OK for me. How many would you like to have on Hardcore?

Probably should have clarified: I am able to pick more than 2 on advancement to Hardcore.

I thought it would be fair to allow a total of 3 weapon masteries on Hardcore, so it does go up by one as you finish the first book, but it doesn't go up beyond that. If the general consensus seems to be that 3 is too many, I would be willing to reduce it to 2.
As to the bow bonus in 245, I think it makes sense that if you have special skills with a bow, or have a magical bow, that you would be able to increase the power of the shot, which increases your chance of breaking the sphere. I confess that it does seem a little much that having GWM in bow would mean an automatic success because of the +5, but silver bow only gives you +3, so, if that was your only bonus, you could still fail.

Book 13, section 47 (Plaghatar fight). I got -4CS penalty even when I was using Spear.

The funny thing is, you don't even want more than two ever, so seeing that the third one is almost useless anyway it might make sense to reduce it to 2. Definitely the Weaponmastery bonus is not supposed to be applied, as there is no reminder for it. Silver Bow is maybe slightly more debatable but there is not distinction between Weaponmastery and Silver Bow bonus anywhere else.

"Combat Skill +3. This bonus also applies to any Random number table check when using this bow." I think this would mean it would still apply even when other bow bonuses are not mentioned as applying. It seems the other bonuses may not apply in cases where they are not mentioned. I think 3 weapons is fair. I will allow those who enjoy hardcore play without relying just on the Sommerswerd a bit more variety.

I agree that the Silver Bow should be able to be used. Weaponmastery, maybe not (although realistically I do think that mastery with a bow probably would allow you to give extra power to the shot).

Silver Bow is maybe slightly more debatable but there is not distinction between Weaponmastery and Silver Bow bonus anywhere else. I'm not so sure - Book 14, sec 99 is clearly a bow shot as well, but does not give a reminder about Weaponmastery. One does get an extra bonus for Grand Pathsmanship... Perhaps it would be most reasonable to include a tooltip/footnote stating that Grand Weaponmastery in bow will give a +3 bonus in section 245, which gives a boosted chance of success, while still leaving some room for failure. Those who have carried the Silver bow into the GM series and also have GWM in bow, will have an auto-success, and that sounds perfectly fair to me... ------------- fixed: an incorrect usage of string::npos (was string.npos), causing a Linux compiling error.

Interesting. Although that seems to be an error actually, as Grand Pathsmanship obviously does not apply at all to that situation. I'm still for the straight 50% roll but I'm not complaining either way. Note that it is supposed to be an instadeath though without correct skills, 15% in total without Grand Huntmastery.

Section 245 doesn't bring about instadeath, but Section 97 can. Also, Section 338 is practically the same text as 245, yet tells you to add the Grand Huntmastery bonus as well. My guess is maybe the Grand Pathmanship bonus on 99 perhaps might have been intended to be Grand Huntmastery.

That would make a lot of sense, since Huntmastery is all about quick responses, which usually boosts a chance of success on "reactions".
