Hi,

I’m enjoying a lot the beta of Band of Blades and are planning to play soon (once I translate the playbooks to Spanish for my players). Love military fantasy and I think that all the new rules/setting developed by Stras Acimovic and John LeBoeuf-Little help enormously to recreate the genre tropes perfectly.

A couple of doubts, typos? and questions:

Rules

1. Which is the max. value for actions modified by the Friendly, Connected and Stern traits? (the values on the playbooks and the book are not the same)

2. The Medic sheet has 6 actions points marked, while the other playbooks have 4. Is this a typo, or something intentional?

3. The Rookie main weapon is the Musket, but they don’t have the shoot action by default. Again, is this intentional?

4. Any question that the commander asks using the Intel rules applies to all available missions or just to one?

Narrative

5. What is the reasoning for the legion to go to Skydagger Keep? The map seems to indicate that there is a clearer south path through some forest.

6. Why is Skydagger Keep unprepared & unused? If this is so a critical path to the Eastern regions, should not be protected by the Eastern Kindoms? Does the Legion know it, and that is the reason for going there?

In the crew upgrades listed in the crew sheets there is a section with “quality” items, and it is probably because english is not my first language, but I don’t see clearly the difference between Gear, Implements, Supplies and Tools.

Could someone help me understand what kind of items would be in each category? (a couple of examples would help 🙂 )
