Basic Fantasy RPG – Finnish translation

[Solomoriah]

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you don't understand.

I said:

No, harm always causes at least one point of damage.

You replied:

How does that jibe with "if the victim has fewer hit points remaining than the number rolled, he or she will take at least one point of damage"?

I don't know Finnish, but in English what you just said is EXACTLY THE SAME THING as what I just said.

"harm always causes at least one point of damage" says exactly the same thing as "if the victim has fewer hit points remaining than the number rolled, he or she will take at least one point of damage" in any case where it matters.

I cannot imagine how the two are different. Please state a concrete example where you see a difference in the above statements.

Let me try.

If the victim is down to 1hp, there is no need to roll anything and this is the only case in which a victim will die. Otherwise, if the victim has between 2 and 4 hit points left and the number rolled is greater or equal, the victim will take 1 point of damage.

Hi! The Finnish translation is finished, minus a couple of technical questions. Better late than never!

Where should I submit it (plus the questions)?

[Solomoriah]

I'm sure it's large. Are you a Dropbox user? If so, email me at solomoriah@basicfantasy.org and I'll assign you a translation folder to put it into.

It looks like the translation is missing Dispel Magic.

btw, is this a good thread for posting issues?

[Solomoriah]

Yes, this would be the place.

A new and vastly improved translation version is ready to be uploaded, except for the fact that header styles for parts 3 through 5 are banjaxed somehow – although the parts are separated by page breaks, I can't seem to change the style of one part without the other two parts switching to that same style. Are there any Writer wizards in here who could take a look? This is beyond frustrating.

[Solomoriah]

Ack, just noticed this.

Each page has an assigned page style. When you change the headers or footers, you change them for that page style wherever it is used. To change the header from one part of the book to the next, use Insert, Manual Break; make sure the dot is on Page Break, and pull down the Page Style control and choose the correct style for the next section, and OK the dialog. You'll then have to press DELETE once to remove the extra page break, but that should be obvious at that point.

Apparently your email host does not like my email host, seppo. I got:

I'll try and fix the problem next week. Thanks for the tip!
