By the way, the system ain´t FATE. Please change that field. If I didn´t knew the Product before I would have lost interest as soon as I saw that...

Apologies, Alexandre - we're getting this mistake corrected as quickly as we can. Yes, the system isn't FATE, it's its own system, and very different from FATE. Sorry for the erroneous data.

Thank you Sarah.

While I´m at it I just might add that something seems off regarding the Initiative and Action mechanics. While a document I saw in french pointed out to multiple actions per round base on how high the initiative score for each round was, meaning if initiative was 4 for round 1, said character could act in "phase" 4,3,2 and 1, with each type of action "Costing" 1,2 or 3 actions.

This QS doesn´t mention this mechanics BUT still has a table which gives us the "Cost" of each combat action, at the same time it gives was a list of what actions one can take per round, disregarding said table (with the cost per action). what am I missing here?

Hi Alexandre,

What you're seeing in The Tears of Ampharool are actually the 2nd edition mechanics. You're quite right that the first edition mechanics are different and a little more complex. The English version of Capharnaum will use the 2nd edition mechanics, which features several streamlinings on 1st Ed, particularly with regard to initiative, the calculation of magnitude, and Babouche-Draggers.

Cheers!

Sarah

I thought that might be the case (though i prefer the 1st edition rules to be sure), but what baffles me then is the reason to add that table with the action cost per combat action, when such cost isn't applied anymore since the rules establish what and how many actions a character can take. It just seems odd, like an artifact, that someone forgot to remove.

In any case Sarah I wish you the best of luck with the KS campaign. Top notch product.

Thanks very much, Alexandre, really glad you like it!

Yep, the actions table still totally applies using the 2nd ed action system. It summarises the actions you can take. So, you can take 2 actions per round: you can only take 1 attack action, plus a standard action such as a move; a brutal attack is a double action, so you can only take one per round and do nothing else; and a charge is a triple action so happens on your initiative in the next round. And so on.

Cheers!

Sarah

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
