N18 Collected Errors/Typos in N23 Rulebook

Can someone verify if ceramite shield was updated to take up a weapon slot?

It does not take up a weapon slot but it reduces your available ones by one.

In most cases it makes no difference.

Given that it treats the reduction as a discrete point it does "stack" with similar rules.
The Hands Free rule imposed by mounts also reduces your weapon slots by one so if you are mounted you have your slots reduced by two.

Ok great, that's weird this new part was added in N23, as it has been unchanged since first appearance in N19's Judgement! Why update it now? Not sure it matters if weapon slots gets -1 or it takes up a weapon slot? But you are absolutely correct it reduces the weapon slots by 1. Here is the text addded:

A fighter can be equipped with a Ceramite shield in addition to a suit of armour, however a fighter carrying a Ceramite shield reduces the number of weapons they can carry by one.

I can only see it really mattering in that it stacks with othe Rules such as Hands Free further reducing it.

Also if it takes up a Weapon slot itself then it would be subject to Disarm in a round about way. Maybe some Psyker powers.

It would make Buldging Biceps even more useless. You would free up a hand with the skill but have the weapon slot you free up for a duel weapon be taken up by the shield. (no practical difference.

Those last too really are not important differences.

Why is it not in the normal section of general scenario rules like say, Sentries?

It is in the new Hive Secundus rulebook hehe.

Really? So someone actually noticed it was impossible to find unless you read the scenarios and then knew where it was and have corrected it… amazing.

That sounds like common sense.
Heresy!!!!

Someone’s gonna get fired for that.

Everyone knows these books should have at least two contracting definitions for at least one rule, trait or statline, a smattering of spelling mistakes and if possible one trait, skill or reference should be given a similar but different name than every other instance of it.

If they could also include a reference, ideally a page number, to another book which is now out of publication then that’s the cherry on top.

Oh and get the spine typeface wrong for extra OCD triggering points.

Still waiting for a random Battle fleet Gothic rule to show up. Maybe Brace for Impact in response to being charged.
