Hero Quest 2021 Remake: Errata Compilation

Oops, so a door that leads to solid rock ("fake door")!

The Crypt of Perpetual Darkness
Page 14 (Quest 5): Bottom right corner group of rooms (second room up from the bottom) has a door leading into the shaded corridor.

That one is not an error. The quest notes describe it as a door that cannot be opened because it’s being held shut by water.

manaknight14 is right, there is no errata there. Quest Note B explains that door cannot be opened.

ahhh yep... strike that! Sorry for wasting everyone's time! I was remaking the map and posted in here before reading the notes (which struck me on my way to work)!

[HispaZargon]

Hahaha, no problem! Most of the misprints have been detected following that way.

Avalon Bill confirmed that Wizard can use Bracers on the Avalon Hill discord today.

Avalon Bill confirmed that Wizard can use Bracers on the Avalon Hill discord today.

Yeah, like in classic European editions, the Bracers may be used by the Wizard. Here is the Avalon Hill's post on AH Discord official server:

However, according to the 'Zargon' twits I posted in this thread, Bracers can't be combined with other armours like Chain Mail so, Bracers seems to be a too gold expensive armour for non-wizard heroes, since nobody, except a Wizard, will probably use them. Therefore, not limiting the Bracers use just for the Wizard could be considered a misprint itself on the card, in my opinion, attending to its high cost.

However, unfortunatelly 'Zargon' account did not say anything about combining Bracers with the Wizard's Cloak. I guess probably the combination is allowed, but no official confirmation from Hasbro exist.

I have updated the errata summary here with this last finding. Last update of the list was performed in August.

I think some of the new heroes will benefit from bracers. Druid, warlock, bard, rogue.

[HispaZargon]

In case of the Warlock would not be any problem because its Character Card explains it must be considered as a Wizard in terms of armour and weapons use.

However, yes, of course I think you are right and Bracers are important for the other type of heroes (Bard, Druid, and Rogues) since it is one of the few armours they may wear, so it makes sense not limiting the Bracers use just for the Wizard as European classic editions did.

I will eliminate from the list such sentence.

Making the Wizard pay more for armor is similar to how I did things in my homebrew rules (also like making my cleric pay more for weapons). If the one with Bracers dies, another hero can take the armor and use it potentially, if needed. Best if you find it rather than have to buy it of course!

Cloak of Protection combining with Bracers in EU 2nd edition made sense, so too Wizard's Cloak with Bracers for Wizard/Warlock makes sense. No other heroes can wear the Wizard's Cloak after all. But just because a Hero COULD use something doesn't mean he wants to...

The "non-metal armor" refers explicitly to Bracers in remake I feel, just as "Armor" refers to metal body armors (Chain/Plate... thus including variants like Elven Chainmail, Borin's Armor which is plate and Cold Iron Plate) but doesn't include Shields or Helmets which are their own things (even though included in the broader category of "armor" in other contexts).

Why they didn't just say "bracers" instead of "non-metal armor" is anyone's guess but there you go. Maybe they were still thinking about other types of non-metal armor at one point? (like a Cloak of Protection that was an expensive non-Artifact version of the Wizard's Cloak that anyone could wear?)
