Ngobo translation issues

[Vaxillus]

There are a few complications with this character that are a caused by a few questionable translations. I just wanted to clarify these so they might be errata'd and fixed for future printings.

-Assassination: It states that the attack cannot make any 'riposte.' I take it this translated to 'response.' While pretty clear, I'm not sure how familiar some of us Americans are with French or fencing, so it might be good to change.

-Poisoning: This is present on Ngwane as well. The word 'consecutively' is a little unclear (normally this word refers to multiple instances of the same action). I think '...loses at least 1 CP due to an attack...' might be more clear.

Hope this is correct and helps.

I think it's supposed to mean " loses more than 1 CP". That's the way i play it anyway.

Right again, I will correct this too

And thanks for noticing

Glad I could help. Hopefully community proofreading will take some of the pressure off the staff.

If that were the case, it would not specify 'loses at least 1 CP.' French to English isn't that complex.

Yeah. It's just long if you want to avoid mistranslation

Yeah, it's not easy by any means. I simply meant that the grammar structure and figures of speech are similar. From my time playing Confrontation, it always seemed the biggest barrier is the vocabulary and the slight variations in meanings between words.
