It says that Trample may only target characters 2 or more Sizes smaller but all NPCs in Bestiary target characters of 1 or more Sizes smaller. For example: Large horse/elephant tramples Medium characters, huge mammoth tramples Large characters, etc.

This is because of Improved Stability, it makes them one size larger for Trample attacks, among other things.

Maybe not errata per se, but I think the Faerie Herritage & Legacy feats could stand to be opened up to Elves as non level-1-only options -- as you open up some interesting avenues by doing so (and yeah, at some point I want to play a Spider/Scorpion Noble with thoise bug-like fairy wings just as a character concept).

I agree, though I'd keep it level-1-only.  Elves with Faerie Heritage / Legacy make way more sense to me then Pech, and they're only disqualified on the basis of type.  I can't see it doing anything crazy with the rules, and if you keep it level 1 you make it a choice of embrace your heritage, or be part of a nation [sorcerors excepted].

Can't be level 1 only, because then you can't get splinter races taking it without forcing them to be Paladins. More than that, splinter feats are not just cultural modifiers, they're physical ones too.

That's exactly the reason why it should have level 1 only.  Why should Elves get bonuses that others don't without paying for it?  If a Drake wants Elemental Heritage, they have to make the choice - Elemental Heritage or Truescale.  It's the same for Saurian's - X Clutch or Draconic Heritage.

Unlike every other species, elves are already fae but have no means of mechanically exploring that quality outside of these two feats. Every other species takes the herritage/legacy feats to add a new type to themselves (if there was a chain built around the plant type type, I'd be making the same argument for rootwalkers).

It seems to me that the angle of elve's exploring their fey nature would be better handled by a different series of feats altogether. The way I see it, the fey heiritage feats show what it means to be partially fey, but not entirely. I would assume a true fey would be better able to explore what is means to be fey than someone who's only partially so. Perhaps a more extensive series of feats (only accessible to full-fey) would be in order, allowing elves and other fey to really specialize and flesh out the concept?

Perhaps, but really the only way those feats don't benefit already-fae who take them is the extraneous granting the fae type, which is functionally identical to taking a splinter race feat and not taking advantage of the additional iconic class and/or specialties it might grant. Moreso, the feat benefits are exactly the sort of things I'd put in "make a fae type more fae-like" chain, so you'd just be pointlessly replicating text, so by making the prerequisite "fae or career level 1 only non fae"  for the 1st and adding elf as an eligable race for the second, you've just added 2 character options without having to affect the layout of the book (one of, if not the, overriding concerns for the 2nd printing).

Well, I don't see what's keeping you from "unlocking" these options on your own. You seem to have figured it out

Because I think it should be a base line option available to organised play.

If its possible can Cold and Heat be moved from where they are to the Damage Type section?  I spent about 30 minutes trying to find them tonight [there is absolutely no reference in the index or contents either].  Ended up having someone run a search of the PDF after giving up with the actual book.

Shouldn't create any huge space issues becuase its a shift, not an addition.

It's a little more complicated than you think, but yes - we're already way ahead of you there.

Blade of the Berserker has Reputation Value 23 at Levels 1-6 but I think it should be 25.
+20 from specific Feat, +10 from Lesser Damage Bonus and -5 from 1-handed item.

A header on p. 183 reads "BLACK POWER WEAPON DESCRIPTIONS". I assume it's supposed to read "BLACK POWDER WEAPON DESCRIPTIONS"? Wink

Ha! That's one of our best typos yet (you gotta be able to laugh at yourself).

We'll get those taken care of, boys. Thanks!
