Presumably, you just didn't paste the section for Strength and didn't actually remove it from the game.

Strength was the first, significantly longer section as it involved rules for lifting stuff and other things. I've edited the short version into Agamemnon's post.

Mainly in pre-empting and resolving simultaneous attacks.

We're auditing the weapon codices as I type this.

Question: What exactly is the Blood valve thing?

Another thing: Am i the only one who feels like the Wounds and Proficiencies are flipped? As in, Proficiencies should be on top, Wounds below.

Guess you mean the tracking bar on top of page 2? It's for tracking blood loss during combat.

Wounds table is close to the other wound effect tracking bars like TN and Blood. So it makes sense in a way to have it as in.

Oh. I guess I can see that. I thought because of the target wheel...

Duly noted, but remind us of this when we have the print out! :twisted:
Is it too early to remind? Six days before character creation will be released?

The problem with German is, that many terms will be longer. Story Aspects for example is a difficult one. Especially considering the narrow space it is written in...

As a german myself, I'd say liberal translation style is paramount.

I couldn't recommend Translating Story Aspects as anything else than "Aspekte".

Probably. I mean, we're not even sure how much of the text and rules will actually make it to the full release at this point. I kinda hope a lot, but one never knows what can break.

Plotaspekte (PA)? :)

I don't think "plot" is an originally german word. But don't take my word for it.

What i mean is, Plot is a loanword from the english language i think. The german word would be "Handlung".

Yeah, that's it. "Plot" and "story" are both used regularly in German, but both sound off, as they are just taken from another language and wouldn't support immersion very well. Anyways, I'm sure we'll find a workaround in time that supports authenticity and in-game language.
