What are the numbers in brackets after items? I'd assumed it was the number of them you found, but in section 218 it says: As you recover, your hand locates the sharp implement that caused your wound. It is a Crowbar (2). If you wish to keep this item, record it on your Weapons List as a close combat weapon. - the 2 in brackets does not seem to relate to anything?
