The reason I thought it was confusing is because, if you start from the 
beginning of the Game Rules
in Captives of Kaag, and fill out your action chart, you don’t get told about 
the bonuses when you’re 
writing out your initial CS & EP – it’s mentioned in the bit at the end of the 
disciplines, which is telling 
about what bonuses you can look forward to in the *next* book if you complete 
this one.

      [DED: The text from the end of the Grand Master Disciplines section, 
namely
      "For every Grand Master Discipline you possess, in excess of the original
      four Disciplines you begin with, you may add 1 point to your basic COMBAT
      SKILL score and 2 points to your basic ENDURANCE points score" should 
surely
      be here too? Otherwise it almost implies that the +1CS +2EP per book bonus
      doesn't kick in until you complete The Captives of Kaag. I get the
      impression Joe Dever updated the rules for each book by cutting and 
pasting
      on his new-fangled word processor, and missed a few things! I know we've
      already put a footnote  here to our "Rules Handbook", but it seems to me
      easier for the readers if we just insert this missing sentence.]

    I sorry, I don't follow. What are you suggesting and why?



  STILL OPEN



I see what David's suggesting -- it would be clearer to put this +1 CS/+2 EP 
increase into Game Rules rather than Disciplines -- but I'm not sure why the 
text as-is implies that you don't get the bonus until after 14tcok. The 
increase is noted at the end of every Disciplines section starting from 
13tplor, so you definitely get the benefit in time for book 14.
