(Sorry to be late back to the discussion.)
The original quote from Newsletter 28 is:
"If a person keeps the +4 CS Weaponmastery ability from one series to
the next, does that mean that when he gets Grand Weaponmastery he has
+9 CS with the weapons he has proficiency in? [...]
"The +4 CS Weaponmastery bonus is not added to Grand Weaponmastery—it
simply rises by 1 to +5."
I'm not seeing how this applies conclusively to Bows. It implies that
the bonuses aren't cumulative. This problematic for Bows because the
bonus for G. Weaponmastery is less than that for Weaponmastery when we
include the bonus for Mentora. I don't think we can say anything
definitive. I think we need to provide education and options.
