Dias Ex Machina Games

I bought UM4 and it looks great! However, I noticed a pretty big error: the page images for Pages 105-106 and the images for Pages 106-107 seem to have been swapped with each other. Figured you would want to know.

It would also seem that pages 219 and 220 are out of place as well, 221 should be before them.

The Phallic Compensator seems to have the Chain brawler's Length of Chain power.

Specialist Anatomy Expert Power:
Trigger: You or an adjacent hits one creature.
Target: The creature you hit.

Im not sure what it's supposed to be. You or an adjacent ally hits one creature and The creature you or an adjacent ally hit?

Armor table:
The Shields header is labeled: Advanced Light-

Pg. 221, Kevin lightfoot's Paragon path is Scout not pathfinder and some of his powers are different than the pathfinder powers.

Pg. 32, Perfect Masquerade. Doesnt really make sense.

Pg. 125, Electroshock gun, doesnt seem to have a description even though it has a 1/special in the damage line.

OK....let's cover these the best I can.

PAGE FLIPPING: These two issues cropped up AFTER our last revisions. A big neither layout nor I discovered. WILL BE IMPLEMENTED BEFORE POD.

PHALLIC COMPENSATOR: Another layout issue (grumble). In order to speed up the process, layout copied a baseline monster stat and replaced the entries. Forgot one. WILL BE IMPLEMENTED BEFORE POD

SHIELDS: Yeah, that's my mistake. WILL BE IMPLEMENTED BEFORE POD

ANATOMY EXPERT: Simple miss wording. It is supposed to mean the creature you or your ally hit. ERRATA

PERFECT MASQUERADE: I seriously have no idea what happened here. It could have been at the editing phase. Here is the power as originally written. I'll leave it up to scrutiny before implementing.

Perfect Masquerade Faceman Attack 5
Your accent, mannerisms, and character are flawless. No matter the task or test, you can fake it. Be a driver, be a doctor, be a scientist, and excel at it. Everyone believes you.
Daily * Martial, Psyche
Standard Action Close burst 10
Requirement: This power cannot be used if you, the target, or any of the target's allies has taken damage previously in the encounter.
Target: All targets in burst.
Attack: Charisma +2 vs. Will
Hit: No damage. The target's attention is fixed on you until the end of your next turn. While fixated, the target is considered distracted to any of your allies not in line of sight to the target. Target is also dazed until the end of your next turn. You gain a +3 power bonus to all Bluff skill checks to the target for as long as Perfect Masquerade is in effect. You can replace Knowledge checks with Bluff checks during this effect.
Miss: The target's attention is still fixed on you until the end of your next turn. You can replace Knowledge checks with Bluff checks but you impose no other effects.
Sustain Standard: You can maintain Perfect Masquerade until any target takes damage or until you take damage. You can target new opponents that enter in range.

ELECTROSHOCK GUN
Another bizarre issue...just vanished somehow

Electroshock Gun: This wand-shaped device fires air-compressed barbed darts attached to coils towards a target. Upon impact, the coils conduct a massive electrical current, disrupting superficial muscle functions. Because of the length of coil, there is no range increment to the gun, 30 feet being the maximum. The darts can penetrate enough to attach to anything. The darts are also magnetic. The electrical pulse does not need to penetrate skin to be effective. After used, tension springs recoil the darts and the coils back to the gun as a free action, making it available to fire again. However, it cannot fire for 10 rounds as its capacitor needs to charge.
Effect: Upon impact, the target is immobilized (save ends).

At work, I noticed page 159, "Combat Drill" has the trigger information, but...no description of what the power actually does.

edit: Also, page 151, the "Load Points" table currently says "1 and 3 planned encounters in adventure" and "4 and 6...." I'm thinking that it should be "1 to 3 planned encounters...."?

Those are good suggestions.


Combat Drill (immediate reaction; when an ally moves into or out of an adjacent square)
The adversary may shift up to three squares as long as he moved in the direction of this ally.

Some rather minor things I found:

page 7
Ladder Features - Beyond Ultramodern: „And Then There Were Dragons in Chapter Nine“ - this section is missing in that chapter.

page 18
Runner: „Where they don‘t expect you.“ Really level 16 or is it level 22?

page 28
Warrior: Level 13 daily power and level 15 encounter power? Usually you have level 13 encounter and level 15 daily powers.

page 105
wrong page order: 105, 106, 107, 108
should be 107, 108, 105, 106

page 122
Plasma - Property
double listing, once with physical/untyped damage, once with fire damage.

page 211
Screamer, Baby: Stat-block is wrong/missing

page 221
wrong page order: 219, 220, 221
should be 221, 219, 220

page 7
Ladder Features - Beyond Ultramodern: „And Then There Were Dragons in Chapter Nine“ - this section is missing in that chapter.

That's because it's in Chapter Seven

page 18
Runner: „Where they don‘t expect you.“ Really level 16 or is it level 22?

16...It is out of place.

page 28
Warrior: Level 13 daily power and level 15 encounter power? Usually you have level 13 encounter and level 15 daily powers.

Yup, those are mistakes...will add to Errata. 13 is an encounter, 15 is a daily.

page 105
wrong page order: 105, 106, 107, 108
should be 107, 108, 105, 106

We already know about this...It's getting fixed an incorporated in a PDF update before the POD is released.

page 122
Plasma - Property
double listing, once with physical/untyped damage, once with fire damage.

Where does it say that? Fire only occurs with its special ability and with its critical damage. Direct plasma inflicts Focus damage.

page 211
Screamer, Baby: Stat-block is wrong/missing

Good catch. Layout issue. That's the widow. We'll get that fixed for the PDF update.

page 221
wrong page order: 219, 220, 221
should be 221, 219, 220[/quote]

Yup...we knew about that one. We'll get that fixed for the PDF update.
