BW Gold Revised — notable changes?

Someone made a change log comparing the 5th printing to the current 7th printing, but they seem to have stopped at pg. 257 for right now.

BWGR Change Doc

Some highlights from the first 257 pages:

  • All instances of “Man,” Kingdoms of Man," “Mannish,” etc. have been changed to “Human”

  • Elven Grief was reworked

  • Lots of lifepaths were rebalanced/modified slightly

  • “Begging” has been renamed “Beggardry,” probably to differentiate it from the Wolf “Begging” skill

  • Sorcerous spells and other magic-y things were made clearer and brought in line with the Codex (removing references to Abstractions, etc)

Generally speaking there’s a lot of redundant and distracting language that has been excised and a clear attempt has been made to make things more readable and add clarity where there was previously confusion.
