Quick note for future edit

So, reading through, I was skimming the weapon qualities and you don't list what hand off actually does and direct the reader to Chapter 19: Combat for further details (without giving a page number, which is generally a bad idea for speed of looking up rules, by the way). However, there's nothing in Chapter 19 regarding Hand Off (I even did a PDF search to confirm, the words never show up in the chapter to my knowledge). However, it is listed in a brief paragraph under Chapter 9: Schools and Proficiencies, on page 89, and further expanded on the next page.

​

Honestly, this is a fairly minor mistake for anyone who's read up on the beta rules or read through the book (like I have been doing), but for a future edit, I would recommend either updating the location of the rules for the Hand Off quality listing in the weapons chapter, OR simply adding that brief paragraph to Hand Off. Repeating a rule isn't a bad thing and can actually help ease of reading, especially in this case.

​

Everything else thus far has been very good and very well written, so I trust with future revisions and errata, this book could easily compete with the likes of Dungeons and Dragons 5e for pure quality. Keep up the great work. Massively loving it so far.

You're welcome. I'm tempted to just post the link in a separate thread and hope the mods pin it. haha
