Just in time for the holidays we've completed the long-awaited (and, yes, overdue) errata for the Hamelin suite of models.
Outside of rewriting all of the models completely this was the batch of changes we felt keeps Hamelin's core concept and play style intact but closes loopholes and balances him thereby allowing players to place him on the table without feeling dirty or being chased out of the county.
Before you ask, yes, there WILL BE a PDF of the revised stat cards online in the next couple weeks, but in the meantime this errata is legal for all games.
Rather than clutter up this post with the inevitable discussion I'm closing the thread and opening a discussion thread below.
