I know that it is two different spells names but they are very much alike nonetheless, so it is just to clarify if it was intentional.
In order for these adventures to follow quickly on from Rivendell in the release schedule, we didn't have access to everything in that supplement when the adventure was being written/worked on so some things were added by Andrew and Francesco during the editing process; this is one of those things. I therefore can't give you an official response but, personally, I would say it should be 6 as that would match Húldrahir's attribute level.

Hi Rich,
Thank you very much for the answer! I guess that if it is a mistake it will be corrected in the Print version :)

So far I'm loving all the scenarios. Not only are they for experienced heroes, they are also for experienced LM's. :mrgreen:

I'll drop Andrew a PM but it may be a little too late to correct (assuming it needs correcting) as the files may have gone to print.

I'm really pleased with the feedback I've had so far and chuffed to bits that you guys like the book; and you're right those adventures are certainly for experienced players and LMs alike.

It's lovely to see Ruins of the North sitting pretty at the top of the hottest titles over at RPGNow - just a shame it's not got any reviews yet... Just sayin'. :twisted:

I can take a hint and am happy to oblige.
I bet there's plenty of forum-followers who can add better then me too. Just say what you like about it!

It's too bad you have to buy it from them to be able to review it. :(

[Edited to add: I see by looking at my account that the TOR items I bought directly from C7 show up in my RPG Now account, so I guess one can review things there without only buying (the PDF) from them! That's really nice!]

So true, especially for What Lies Beneath, which can rapidly turn into a bloodbath and a lot of Shadow Point...

Yes, done right* it's an extremely dangerous, dark, and tragic adventure.

* And there's no wrong way as such but when I use the term right I mean as the authors envisaged it.
