Please make sure that Andy's name is added to the proofer's list, if it's not there already. And thanks to both of you for your efforts in getting this one ready!

Note to chiisu:
The Golems will need reordering, as I have split the golems that shared a table previously. I have done this as the golems that were paired were entirely separate monsters.

Re: Basic Fantasy Field Guide 2
Hi,
I'm currently creating a single document with all the monsters from the core rules and the first two field guides so I'm spotting some minor typos as I go along (all r27).
Gemanite Serpent
In the fourth paragraph it says ', and will effect those with hit dice'
it should be 'affect'
Gemanite Serpent, Green
In the description it says 'adventurers will revel the location'
it should be 'reveal'
Gemanite Serpent, White
the damage for bite and constrict seem to have been swapped for ages 3 and 4.
Giant, Sand
In the second paragraph it says 'were they grow date palms.'
it should be 'where'
Golem, Glass
In the description it says 'as they can can cast an'
'can' has been duplicated.
Golem, Tin
The stats do not match those given in BF3. The differences are in Hit Dice, No. of Attacks, Damage, No. Appearing, and Treasure.
Monsters with no treasure
If a monster has no treasure should it say 'None' or is 'Nil' acceptable? There are a few instances where it says 'Nil.' These are; Golem, Glass, Golem, Household, Golem, Lead.
Note that the Amalgam and the Fairies have 'none' instead.

Re: Basic Fantasy Field Guide 2
Thanks Andy, I have integrated those changes into my edit. I have currently added you to the proofreader credits as 'Andy', if you would like to be credited differently, please PM me (or chiisu).
Re: Basic Fantasy Field Guide 2
Good catches Andy. Could have sworn I already fixed the Tin Golem stats, but I'll double-check that for next release.
"None" is the standard.AJS1956 wrote:If a monster has no treasure should it say 'None' or is 'Nil' acceptable? There are a few instances where it says 'Nil.' These are; Golem, Glass, Golem, Household, Golem, Lead.

Re: Basic Fantasy Field Guide 2
Andy, you scared me. I just checked BF3 R40, in fear that I had failed to update the stats, but they seem to match P&P's stats from his original post here:

Re: Basic Fantasy Field Guide 2
Hi,
A few more (G through to M now).
Griffon, Hawksian
In the first paragraph it says 'does not posses wings'
This should be possess
Jotenkin
Should the 'standard' damage be 1d8+1 if they all get +1 weapon damage?
Living Furniture
The No. Appearing looks wrong. Should Wild and lair be transposed?
Thanks,
Oh and please use Andy Scarfe as my name

Page 62, Rabbit Snake, paragraph 1 -
Currently: The Rabbit Snake is just as it sounds: a snake with the head of a rabbit and the tail of a rabbit. The average specimen is around 9’ long and is covered in patches of fur sticking out from underneath scales, which are shed when the snake sheds its skin. Its coloration can vary but is generally similar to that of rabbits that inhabit the same region. Their skin can be quite valuable as it is normally aesthetically pleasing and highly resistant to most kind of acids. They can disguise themselves as rabbits using the grass to cover their more snake-like features, bobbing up and down to give the appearance of jumping. They are normally found in mild climates and grasslands and live underground in burrows preying on rabbits, deer, and similar creatures.
