Especially since these are not official adventures and so each author has used their discretion in how they capitalize/highlight things to begin with.
I don't have the Core rules in any language other than English, but for those who do, is it possible to make a table of the common mechanical terms? Things like Weary, Wounded, Unconscious, Treated (for Wounds), Craven, etc? I worry about missing a mechanical note in the adventure since I haven't LMed in English before and so common sense might not prompt me to notice a term is actually mechanical, not adjectival, in nature (especially for Enemy abilities, since I haven't read up on those as much). It could be pretty simple, just columns for the different languages and then going across: Weary, exténué, whatever Weary is in Spanish, etc.
It'll give us something to do in between refreshing the website waiting for the Rohan supplement... (maybe today is our day!)
Just wanted to add that this is a great idea,
Rue. Could save lots of heartache and confusion down the road.

Thanks for the heads up! I just bought it and I'm reading it right now. Just for info: in the framework of the "Darkenning of Mirkwood", it's best to play this scenario in 2957, because it prepares the events in 2958 with prince Sanjar.
