The Tribesman profession lists the Hide skill twice - once as a specifically defined skill and once in the "pick two" list.
The Melee Weapons skill lists "Club" as a specialization, explaining that maces are covered, but the Melee Weapons table lists maces with the "Mace" skill. It's decipherable, but slightly confusing.
Where appropriate on the weapons tables +db or +1/2db are listed. That's cool, but there doesn't seem to be anywhere near the tables that explains just what db is. I felt like an idiot when I figured it out, but I was annoyed when looking for it. It seemed to me that some sort of superscript (numbers, asterisks & daggers, whatever) that pointed to footnotes for the tables might provide the same info with slightly less "chart junk." In a perfect world, the thing to do would be only to mark weapons that don't add the db (on the melee table, anyway) since those are the exception rather than the rule.
Step Six (which I adore) is listed in the numbered walkthrough (obviously) but is omitted from the more detailed look at each part of character creation. It seemed like they might be worthy of at least a passing mention there as well. Then again, I can understand not "wasting" the space on repeat info. So this is just a thought.
On the ordered character sheet walkthrough, Step Five (Derived Characteristics) - the second item gives a formula but doesn't tell you what Derived Characteristic the formula is for. It's HP, but that took a little work to figure out. Oh, and man did I love this thing, with its call-outs from the character sheet. Best thing I've seen for character creation in a long, long time.
That's all I've got just yet. On the whole the book is excellent. Cheers to all involved.
