Ha! That'll do it f'sure! Thanks for the tip. :-)I've worked through Books 1-17 and 20-28 turning footnotes to errata entries. I've mainly been working on Jon's comments and precedents, though there are two general rules that I'm applying:
1) When not too intrusive, reminders to add or erase items should be part of the text, not a footnote;
2) Kai Weapon bonus reminders should be part of the text, not footnotes.Rule 1 in particular is tricky, since it ultimately comes down to a judgement call. I have just finished up auditing Books 18-20 and am about to commit the changes per sub-series (1-5, 6-12, 13-20, 21-28). Uploading the new editions to the test area will take considerably longer.
