Zenith Trajectory - errata

[Zlorf]

Lighting bolt trap in Area 13 (p144 SCAP) uses 3.0 rules for lighting bolt. 3.5 lighting bolt is now a line effect and needs start slightly off centre and on a slight angled to at least get someone standing in the adjacent squares near the door.

Mangh-Mictho should only get 2 attacks when spelled up at +19/+14 (mentioned in other message). Not 3 unless you give him a level of something else to reach 11 class lvls.

How about using Flurry of Blows... ?

For a cleric?

This information would have been very useful to me a week before I played this section. As it turned out though the party wiped the wet floor with the cleric with two criticals as he attempted to lock the door and flood the chamber. I had predicted that they would have had a huge problem even just hitting the armoured koa-toa but it just goes to show - you can't predict anything especially when chance is such an important factor.

Thanks for the errata though. The party have just cleaned up Ashanna, the Spearmaster and the whips & soldiers in the shrine. Any errata about the remainder of the complex would be more than welcome.

Thanks

The SRD and PHB disagree here actually.

A line-shaped spell affects all creatures in squares that the line passes through.

I think the two sources are intended to mean the same thing, but the SRD line was shortened for brevity/simplicity. Unfortunately this added ambiguity.

Note the absence of any mention of a change in the errata.
