=====================================
The Plague Lords of Ruel
(er) 77, 304: "[tw: Carrying around vs. wearing the Cener Robe and Mask
- logically, they shouldn't occupy space in your Backpack when you wear
them. (Though 77/304 do tell you they do, even though you put them on
immediately.)]
[jd: I agree with you that this is nonsensical once you put them on.]
[jc: The second paragraph is superfluous. Apparently you immediately put
the Robe and Mask on, and therefore you needn't to record them in your
Backpack.]"
DED: If you immediately put them on, maybe change to "record them on the
margin of your action chart" ?
(er) 104, 176, 303: "[tw: In other books, we have replaced the 'add
+<whatever> if you possess <discipline>' with something general about
missile bonuses.]
[jd: I don't think we'd really hit a consensus on this one - because
there was some question as to the particular bonus that Grand
Weaponmastery with a bow should grant.]"

DED: I suggest a footnote to remind players who have 'completed previous
Magnakai adventures and reached the rank of Mentora' that they can benefit
from an additional hidden loyalty bonus of a +2.
(er) 119: If you already possess Cener Robes and a Cener Mask -> If you
are already wearing Cener Robe and a Cener Mask [jc: Maybe better...]
DED: agreed
(er) 144, 334: power word -> word of power
DED: I don't see any reason to change this. cf. 'power tools' for DIY ;)
(er) 170: reinforce -> reiterate [LeRoy McSwain, Jan 2007]
DED: 'reinforce' is a bit odd here. Maybe 'make plain' or 'further
emphasise'?
(er) 188: The brilliance and the roar...threatens -> ...threaten [LeRoy
McSwain, Jan 2007]
DED: yeah
(er) 200, 228, 309: gods -> Gods [??]
DED: there's a bit of a tradition in English to not use a capital G when
referring to pagan gods -
doubtless there's some post-colonialist political correctness best practice
these days :)
(er) 272: Owing to the speed and desperation of his attack, reduce your
COMBAT SKILL by 20 points for the first round of this combat only. [I'm
not certain this is wrong, but just how fast was this opponent moving?]
[LeRoy McSwain, Jan 2007]
DED: that does seem a bit extreme, yeah!
(er) 284: and a myriad animal tracks -> and a myriad of animal tracks ->
and myriad animal tracks [LeRoy McSwain, Jan 2007]
DED: agreed
(er) 292: [jc: Erase both Cener Robe and Mask from your Backpack (you
are wearing them now).]
DED: or remove them from backpack but note them on margin of action chart
(er) Illustration 2 (Caption): gods -> Gods
DED: possibly
(ft) 283: You are submerged in a deadly cocktail of acids and toxic
wastes from the dungeons of Mogaruith [jfs: Shouldn't the submergion
(sp?) in these waters have any effect in the Backpack? As they are full
of acids it would be strange that the backpack contents somehow survived
being destroyed by them.]
[Amarande: Realistically, maybe. But from a gameplay standpoint I think
is most unfair. (More comments can be found [[http:
//www.freelists.org/archives/projectaon/09-2006/msg00007.html]].)]
DED: trying to take a chemist's point of view, the overall pH of the moat
may not be particularly low as the acids could be pretty dilute, so
I can just about conceive that it won't dissolve the backpack (or Lone
Wolf's clothes! or skin!)
And if those potions are in glass jars, they should be fairly safe (it's
only hydrofluoric acid
that tends to dissolve glass). I'd be inclinded to let this pass......
maybe meals should be
erased (but this will be pointless as LW doesn't need to eat past this
point?)
