Wait, is it 3 or 5 points... or 8?
« on: 28 May 2014, 08:23:34 PM »
I am looking at the In Her Majesty's name - Figure Costing Reference Sheet and I noticed something that confused me (well, more than normal.)

On the first page under Fighting it reflects a cost of three (3) points for unarmed (Martial Artist) for a cost.

On the second page under Talent it shows a cost of 5 points for Martial Artist.

So is it Three (3) or Five (5) or Eight (8) for the Martial Artist point value?

And why when I type "parenthesis 8 parenthesis" do I get (8)  ?

Gracias,

Glenn

Mine clearly says 3 on one page and 5 on the other.  

Different versions?  I just visited the IHMN webpage - http://inhermajestysname.wordpress.com/additional-material/ - and re-downloaded the form - http://inhermajestysname.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/ihmn-figure-costing-reference-sheet.pdf - and verified

Unarmed (Martial Artist) 3

Martial Artist 5

on the two pages.

Gracias,

Glenn

My mistake. I was looking in the book. I overlooked that you were looking at the reference sheet. The book lists it as 3 points in both places.

It is 3 points, but there seems to be a typo in the talents table in the Figure Costing Reference Sheet. This shall be amended.

Sharpe eyes there - thanks!

As the typo king of my orgnization (no, I am not telling that story!) I understand that happens.  Glad I could be of help, Craig.  Typos must die!

Appreciate the answers, LAFers.

Skrapwelder, thanks, I was in the general vicinity, (opposite end of the house basement,) of my books (basement shelving) a few times in the evening but always while "on a mission" and never quite close enough to be able just grab them en passant to compare. Good to know the book was clear.

Gracias,

Glenn
