A footnote could be included to mention the other Items. My concept was to
balance the LW character with the New Order books for Project Aon players. The
New Order GM starts the game with CS from 25-34 and an EP of 30-39. He also
gets a Kai Weapon which gives him a base bonus of +5 CS or a circumstantial
bonus from +7 to +9. The Sommerswerd's permanent +8 CS bonus is a little more
potent than that of a Kai Weapon, but not outrageously so. Having all those
other Special Items added in would tend to nerf things more than a little bit,
so I tossed them.

As I said above, I made the assumption that the player going from the
Kai/Magnakai series to the GM series would have gone through all the books -
because he'd be doing this on the Project Aon site.
