It's pretty clear that we're not going to come to a consensus on this
issue. How about leaving it as "can" and adding something like the
following footnote.

"It is not clear whether those who have completed previous adventures
'may' carry over their COMBAT SKILL and ENDURANCE points or whether
they 'should' carry them over.  For a discussion of the considerations
why you may or may not decide to do so, see the Readers' Handbook."

Of course this means someone needs to write up a first draft summary
of this discussion. Any volunteers?
