Official Errata for Mouse Guard?

[Aramis]

Grabbing the Q’s and A’s from other places…

@zabieru

There are a couple of typos, the description of the Heavy factor (for armor) on p243 is incorrect (use the one from p118/119 instead), and a correction is needed about the base for disposition for chases (the book says Nature, but that’s only appropriate when being chased. I think the consensus is to use Health when chasing, but I’m not sure).

@luke

And the Liam example in the Resolution chapter is wrong. He rolls 9 dice, not 10.

@ChainmailDoug

Hello - I bought my copy of Mouse Guard RPG through Amazon, and only recently received it.

It’s quite different to other RPG rules I own, and I’m experiencing a little difficulty in adjusting.

There’s one thing, thus far, that I can’t understand, and it’s on page 110 of the rulebook; the conflict resolution chapter.

let me quote:

“[Liaem’s] losing 10 to 1. He has to do a lot of damage quickly. He spends a persona point and taps his Nature. He adds his Nature rating, 4, to his Fighter 3. He also adds his Determined trait to this roll, and decides to use his +1D Sword bonus, too. (See the Weapons in Conflict section for how that works.) He manages to muster 10 dice.”

I can’t work this out.
Nature 4 + Fighter 3 + Liaem’s Determined trait of 1 (page 40) + the sword’s Useful bonus of 1D only seems to add up to 9 to me.

I fear there’s something I’m not understanding, and until I do, I can’t wrap my head around the game.

Can someone help me out, please?

I am new to BW, and just reading the Mouse Guard book for the first time. So far it sounds very neat and I am rather excited about trying out the narrative mechanics of this game.

I was reading through the Conflict section and it says that Nature is the base for a Chase. Directly below it says “Mice may only use Nature as a base for disposition if the conflict is appropriate to their Nature”. Does this mean that Mice may not use their Nature (they have base of 0 and are therefore at serious disadvantage) if they want to chase after something since I can’t think of a case where they would be the pursuer in given the four aspects of the Mouse nature?

Or is that rule only referring to the other two conflict types where both Health and Nature are options?

Thanks

@luke

Mice may only use Nature for Chases involving hiding, escaping or climbing.

@luke

Use Health for dispo.

@Serpine

So how do you determine the disposition for guardmice chasing after something? Only use Scout successes? I’d hope not since that would give a criminal mouse (escaping) a 4 or 5 automatic success edge running away from… another mouse. Or would it be Health in that case?

@luke

This seems like a genuine piece of errata that I had an answer for once. Anyone remember what I said last time? Because that’s the answer.

Oops!

This compilation took about 35 minutes.

Luke still hasn’t answered the “what’s the dispo for a mouse chasing”… Edit: Luke just answered it. Editing the errata in to the post as I go.
