clarification and amendments pdf - despair?

[daedel]

Hi all,
Is the despair hazard description missing in the pdf? I cannot find it anywhere...

[zedturtle]

Well, there are sample hazard episodes but neither the full rule nor the clarification document has an example of despair. In any case, they are just examples... not rules.

Thanks for the answer. I am afraid I don't quite understand new Hazard rules. Now when you get a Sauron's eye on a Fatigue test, a Hazard is triggered. You roll on the table and get a Hazard but, how do you know what Hazard is tied to a specific fellowship role? Rolling in the table in page 35 of the non-updated manual? Or you just select one companion randomly?
That's why the omision of a despair example bothers me - I don't know to what role is linked.

Yeah, I don't know why the Hazards Target table wasn't included:

Basically, its:

G - Players' choice
1-3 Guide
4-5 Scout
6-7 Huntsman
8-9 Look-out Man
10 All companions
S - Role not covered/LM Choice

Which means that being the Guide is more dangerous than the other roles.

It's because it's already in the Loremaster's Guide, p35.

I suspected that might be the case but missed it on a quick skim through.
