Furthermore,
here's what I'd suggest about all the other "hidden loyalty bonus" stuff -
there's already a discussion about that in the Reader's Handbook.
I would suggest adding a concise summary of that as a footnote to the 'Kai and Magnakai Disciplines' disciplines subsection of each Grand Master book's Game Rules:

"Lone Wolf Club Newsletter 28 states that if you have completed previous Kai and Magnakai adventures, you can still benefit from these during the Grand Master as a 'hidden loyalty bonus'. In practical terms, this means:
- Huntmastery: no need for a meal when instructed to eat
- Curing: restore 1 lost EP for each section without combat
- Weaponmastery: +3CS in armed combat (+4 if you attained the rank of ScionKai); +3 RNT with a Bow (+5 if you attained the rank of Mentora) - Psi-surge: +4CS in combat against an opponent who isn't immune (but -EP per round); +6CS/-1EP if you attained the rank of Archmaster"

I would vote to junk the entire footnote!

I would simply put a footnote at any section involving which tells you to
use an RNT other than three as follows:

"Note that the Random Number Table bonus given here for use of Bow with
Grand Weaponmastery is higher than the usual +3."

That's it!  No big deal! No fuss! No waffly speculations about possible
rules, misprints or hidden loyalty bonuses.
Just a concise reassurance to the reader (i.e. "yup, you read that right. It
says +5 here. That's higher than usual. Relax, you got some free lunch! Now
fire your arrow...")

Hi

Updated version of Book 13 based on Jon's updated footnote. Read and
review, please.

The fixes for the simple and less-simple editions seems to have worked
like a charm! :-)
