New discrepency that I've found:
In the description for Shrinking, it's noted that Shrinking 12 gives Size Rank -5, or about six inches. However, the Size Modifiers table on p. 274 shows SM -5 as being up to 9 inches tall/long.
Magius out.

The Battlesuit also lists "Ranged Attack" under Advantages twice, once at 2 (italicized) and once at 4.

I suspect he's supposed to have one Ranged Combat Advantage at +4 and One Ranged Combat (Force Beam) Skill at +2.

That's not necessarily an error.
The italicized Ranged Combat is from an Enhanced Trait (Tactical Computer). It's just also listed under Advantages because that's what it is.

Good point, though it should still read "Ranged Combat" rather than "Ranged Attack".

No, the Advantage is called Close/Ranged Attack. Calling it Ranged Combat above was a mis-step on my part, Ranged Combat(specific attack) is the name of the Skill.

Oops, my bad. It's going to take awhile to shift my brain from 2e to 3e. :oops:

Cross-posting from here:
Points spent on (Size / Strength / Speed / Toughness)
Car costs 10, should be 8. (1/1/5/1)

Limousine costs 6, should be 7. (2/0/5/0)

Truck costs 7, should be 8. (2/1/5/0)

Armored Car costs 8, should be 10. (2/0/5/3)

Tank costs 59. Points spent come to 61. (2/2/4/3) + 6 Impervious + (26 + 18) for the (apparently non-AE) weapon systems. -2 for the two Move Actions to get started, probably, so this one could be correct.

APC costs 31. Points come to 33 (2/4/4/3) + 4 Impervious + 16 for the weapon. If we assume the same -2 to get started like the Tank, it fits, though the description of the APC makes no mention of it.

Speedboat costs 8, should be 9. (1/2/6/0)

Cutter costs 27, should be 28. (3/1/5/1) + 18 for the weapon.

Bomber costs 59. Traits cost 19 (4/-3/18/0), the sample bombs in the description don't come to 40 points to make up the difference.

Space Fighter costs 56, should be 54? (2/2/28/2) + 20 for the cannons. Missing two points, could be spent on Movement (Space Travel), but the other Space Vehicles come in at their listed price.

Mole Machine costs 10, should be 12 (2/3/4/3)

Animal Errata. The Wolf has Cha -2, should be PRE. It also has Track, which I think should be Tracking Scent. The Wolf, Lion, Ape, and Shark all have Senses (Scent), which isn't a real power.

Battlesuit and Construct have their Dodge values flipped.

Energy Controller should have Ranged Combat: Energy Control, not Energy Blast.

Martial Artist has Daze (Intimidation) listed twice in its Advantages.

Battlesuit, Paragon and Powerhouse don't list values for traits when un-enhanced.

Psionic shows no Damage value for Mental Blast in Combat block. Skills should cost 12 points, not 11. Defenses should cost 26 points, not 27.

Shapeshifter does not specify a type/group for the shapeshift power. Advantages should cost 7 points, not 5. As listed, the Shapeshifter's total cost is 151 points, not 150. With the Advantage adjustment, it's 153 points.

Warrior should have Ranged +8 in Combat block, not +10

P. 38 - Paragon abilities appear to add up to 34, not 36 (so presumably he has two more pp to play with, assuming all else is correct).

P. 94 - Dazzle says "tthree" instead of "three".

p257, Luthor's Warsuit

Dexterity 3 + Enhanced Ranged Combat:Blasters 11 + Accurate 3 = +20 attack bonus.
Since that Accurate 3 is attached to a Ranged Damage 16 effect, we have 20 + 16 = 36

36/2 = 18. Is he really supposed to have a PL18 attack with that thing?


Also, the Multiattack AE uses "Accuracy" instead of Accurate.

p114, Danger Sense: "(although, if you have Uncanny Dodge, you retain your dodge bonus to Defense)"

Since there's no longer a dodge bonus to Defense, that should probably make some reference to Active Defenses, or not becoming Vulnerable, instead.

Two of Black Canary's Affliction effects list "Hearing Debilitated" as a condition but I think this should read "Hearing Unaware"

SInestro, pg 261
His power-ring lists his Force Blast as rank 17, but his combat block reads Ranged, Damage 18.

Quasi-errata - p. 87 Affliction says "The target of an Affliction makes a resistance check at the end of each turn...". However, p. 174-5 Ongoing Effects says the resistance check is make "at the end of each of the target's turns. So, Affliction should say the same thing.
