Pg. 40 under the 1st example reads, “Marcus qualifies because he is a general, and also because has at least nine levels of experience…” but should read, “Marcus qualifies because he is a general, and also because he has at least seven levels of experience.” (missing pronoun, incorrect number of levels)

On a result of 3-5, the unit will attempt to capture or subdue him. On a 6-8, the unit will take no action. On 9-11, the unit will follow his commands.

Pg. 49 under Charming Gaze it reads, “(Thus units at a range of six hexes or more will automatically succeed).” This should read, “(Thus units at a range of six hexes or more will automatically succeed.)” (period outside parentheses)
Pg. 49 under Charming Gaze it reads, “This represents the reduced chance of making “eye contact” with enemy on a crowded, distracting battlefield.” This should read, “This represents the reduced chance of making “eye contact” with an enemy unit on a crowded, distracting battlefield.” Or, alternately, “This represents the reduced chance of making “eye contact” with the enemy on a crowded, distracting battlefield.”
Pg. 49 under Charming Gaze, the 2nd paragraph reads, “…but they are so disoriented that the only actions they make take are to stand fast or march…” but should read, “…but they are so disoriented that the only actions they may take are to stand fast or march…”
Pg. 49 under Chimera Breath it reads, “…subject to the Maximum Simultaneous Spells/Special Abilities limits (see p. 42).” This should read, “…subject to the Maximum Simultaneous Spells/Special Abilities limits (see p. 43).” (incorrect page reference)
Pg. 50 the 1st full paragraph reads, “Units of less than 3 HD subject to dragon fear immediately becomes disordered (if not already), change facing towards their own battlemap edge, and retreat 1 hex. Thereafter, at the start of the morale phase of each combat round, the units must retreat a number of hexes equal to their hustling movement rate towards their friendly map edge. This continues until the effect is dispelled, the unit leaves the battlemap, or 30 combat rounds have elapsed. The unit may not be activated while the spell is in effect. Units with 3HD to 6HD subject to dragon fear suffer -1 to attack throws against the dragon until the effect is dispelled.” This should read, “Units of less than 3 HD subject to dragon fear immediately become disordered (if not already), change facing towards their own battlemap edge, and retreat 1 hex. Thereafter, at the start of the morale phase of each combat round, the unit must retreat a number of hexes equal to its hustling movement rate towards its friendly map edge. This continues until the effect is dispelled, the unit leaves the battlemap, or 30 combat rounds have elapsed. The unit may not be activated while subject to the effects of dragon fear. Units with 3HD to 6HD subject to dragon fear suffer -1 to attack throws against the dragon until the effect is dispelled.” (clarity, verb subject agreement; in reality this paragraph should probably all be changed to singular)
Pg. 50 under Petrifying Gaze it reads, “…the activated unit gains a +4 bonus to its saving throw at two-hex range, +8 at a three-hex range…” but should read, “…the activated unit gains a +4 bonus to its saving throw at a two-hex range, +8 at a three-hex range…” (missing article)

Pg. 51 the table is titled Cleric Turning Undead, but is referred to in the text exclusively as the Turning Undead in Battle table.
Pg. 51 the Cleric Turning Undead table lists a turn attempt against 10HD/Infernal by either 10th or 11th level clerics as inflicting 41 uhp of damage. The pattern followed by every other line on the table would have the 11th level clerics inflicting 44 uhp of damage…
