Our group was unable to come to an informed conclusion re: Child Survival Rolls for Superlative Knights in comparing KAP 5 and KAP 5.1.

The text of KAP 5.1 pg. 108:


Superlative: Only the richest knights and greatest lords can maintain themselves at this grade. During Step 5, the knight receives a +2 modifier when rolling on the Horse Survival table and a +3 modifier on the Childbirth table. During Step 6, he receives a and a +1 modifier when rolling on the Child Survival Table and a +5 modifier on the Childbirth table.

It mentions a +1 to child survival (same as rich knights), but has several typos to suggest that the text was possibly cut and pasted from Rich Knights.

The text of KAP 5 pg. 108


Superlative: Only the richest knights and greatest lords can maintain themselves at this grade. During Step 5, the knight receives a +2 modifier when rolling on the Horse Survival table and a +3 modifier on the Childbirth table. During Step 6, he receives a +3 modifier when roll- ing on the Child Survival table and a +5 modifier on the Childbirth table.

It mentions a +3 to child survival.

Which is correct?

+1 is correct
Edition 5.1 always supercedes 5.0

Thank you!

I take it the text in 5.1

a +3 modifier on the Childbirth table

is an error/typo and the final modifiers are

+2 horse survival
+5 childbirth
+1 child survival

Is that also correct?

Hi Greg-

I am confused by your response.

Sorry for causing any confusion but in the text of KAP 5.1 pg. 108:


Superlative: Only the richest knights and greatest lords can maintain themselves at this grade. During Step 5, the knight receives a +2 modifier when rolling on the Horse Survival table and a +3 modifier on the Childbirth table. During Step 6, he receives a and a +1 modifier when rolling on the Child Survival Table and a +5 modifier on the Childbirth table.

They can't both be true, and the text can't be correct (especially as there is no Childbirth Table in Step 5).

So it must be

Step 5: +2 modifier when rolling on the Horse Survival Table
Step 6: +5 modifier when rolling for Childbirth, +1 modifier when rolling for Child Survival as stated in my previous post.

Thanks.

This is correct. Or I'm doing it wrong ...
