You've only got yourselves to blame

Thanks!
So, a Tough in the Fibre character recovers Endurance while travelling at a rate of 1 with untreated Wound, 2 with treated Wound, 2+Basic Heart when uninjured, right?

Two more...

1) If a Hazard is triggered that affects one role, but no one is assigned to it, and no one wants to spend a Hope point, who is affected by the consequences of failing? All companions? The LM chooses on by luck?

2) The Shadow points for Tainted Treasure, are for every point of Treasure found?
That is, if players find 3 points of Treasure each in a Cave Troll, how many rolls do they have to make?
3 each, one for every Treasure Point? One each to avoid getting a total of 3 Shadow Points? One each to avoid getting 1 Shadow Point (regardless of the number of Treasure Points gained)?

Mmmm... I see the title of the post is "Error", and this are clarifications, not errors. Sorry about that.

I'd randomise it, or pick based on the circumstances of the Hazard rolled.

As it says in the document, "Heroes must pass a Corruption test upon finding tainted treasure, or suffer the Shadow
point indicated on the table below." It doesn't mention treasure points at all, so it's one test regardless of treasure points, or gain the amount shown.

This, of course, raises the question of how much treasure a point of shadow is worth...

"300 Treasure and Turgon's own chamber-pot? I'll take the Shadow, please!"

I'd say that sort of question is what drives games!

Regarding "Recovering Endurance while Travelling": do these values refer to points recovered PER DAY of prolonged rest? The existing wording makes it seem like you get X number of points PER PROLONGED REST.

I guess you're referring to p11 "Travelling heroes recover a reduced number of Endurance points for every prolonged rest they enjoy."

Without a definition of Prolonged Rest in the main text it's hard to say but I'd only allow one "prolonged rest" per day.

Clarification and Updates Document p9 right bottom sidebar final line is missing 'fi' from 'the final Experience bonus.'

Maybe set some ranges like 1-3 Treasure Points in a Troll's Cave may risk 1 Shadow Point, 4-6 TP risk 2 SP, etc.

Of course, it all depends on the situation, but just as a guide.

I'd say a Prolonged Rest is a warm meal and a night's sleep. That may just be some sausages under a tree and sleeping in a roll sack in the wilderness while your companions take watch. That would be only one per day (as a day only has one night )
