It would have been better if they had told the reader not to discard
the Pass during this adventure. I think we need to keep this as a
footnote, but I suggest a change:
Original: "Many sections in the book assume that you haven’t discarded
the Pass. It is advisable that you don’t discard it during this
adventure."
Suggestion "Many sections in this book assume that you possess the
Pass, therefore you should not discard it during this adventure."

Leave them as footnotes.

If I've figured correctly, with Mongoose's revision, a player who
starts the series with this book, has an initial CS of 10, and chooses
an optimal set of Disciplines will have a 0.013% chance of success. So
it is now technically possible to succeed no matter what CS you start
with.
Such a player with 14-15 CS has something better than a 50% chance of
success, though I didn't figure the exact probability.
We could get rid of a very long footnote, although it pains me to see
it go: it was fun figuring it out. :)

Revise text.

We misspelled Oxydine in our footnote, and I don't like our
justification for saying that Oxydine shouldn't restore EP if you use
it to cure the baccillus. Seems like a pretty slim reason. Add our the
first sentence of our footnote parenthetically to the text. Drop the
rest.

Revise the text.

Revise the text.

Revise text.

This text seems out of character to me. Keep our footnote, but revise
it like the footnote in Section 1.
