Use the revision for 13tplor.

Revise the text replacing both occurrences of "a Gold Crown" with "one
Gold Crown".

Use the 13tplor revision.

Should we just drop that entire phrase? This makes sense to me: "...a
temporary increase in COMBAT SKILL and ENDURANCE scores whilst
fighting an enemy" or "...whilst in combat".

Nice flavor text, but we should either leave it as a footnote or
revise the text to say "If you wish to take some of this fungi with
you, record a single dose on your Action Chart...".

What now? I think the change for 121 means that you remove the bonus
at the end of the combat, and if removing the bonus would bring you
below 1, just reduce it to 1. I'm not sure what the paragraph about
the "psychic attack" is about (unless it's talking about using
Kai-surge in this section or in 217), so it seems that our concern
hasn't been addressed in 297, but I think we can extrapolate that to
297.

This doesn't address our footnote, but it is a useful clarification.
Revise the text.

Revise the text.

How about this?
"It adds +1 to your score should you be instructed to pick a number
from the Random Number Table when trying to avoid normal missiles
(e.g. arrows, bolts, darts, etc.) aimed at you."

Agreed, we should leave those changes to Mongoose, though we should
note this in our footnote.

Use the 13tplor revision.

Use revision for 15tdc.

Revise the text with this: "Record this Scroll as a Special Item that
does not take up any space on your Action Chart."

Strange, but revise the text.

And if you don't have a Backpack Item? Maybe we should just leave this
as a footnote and note Mongoose's revision as supporting evidence.

Thank you, Simon. If there's any justice, there's a place reserved for
you on the Plane of Light with other valiant heroes. ;)
