(er) | 12: | this bacteria -> these bacteria (or: this bacterium) [SD: Not sure. Bacteria = plural of bacterium. I can see what JD is trying to say, inviting the player to take portions of one type of bacterium.] [jb: Although correct, does this make it sound distractingly pretentious? The word "bacteria" is often used as a singular, so do we want to distract the majority of readers who couldn't decline a Latin noun if their life depended on it?] [ss: We do not normally use "this/these" in front of a word like bacteria, its actually too generic of a term. But then, I typically refer to individual species in my work. The word "Bacillus" is a genus name, it should be capitalized (ie our genus is Homo, our species is sapiens.) Ironically, the use of the word bacteria fits better than in the other two places. In the second context, I think saying "The" instead of "This" fits better.] [jb: "At once you recognize the bacteria to be Gnallia, a benign species of bacillus that is often used to prevent and cure infections of the blood. The raw bacteria are edible and rich in protein, and there is sufficient here for 5 Meals." I don't think capitalizing "bacillus" is strictly necessary because in the past it was used to denote any bacterium. It's in this informal sense that I'm pretty sure Dever was using the word, not to denote the genus Bacillus.] |

(er) | 139: | If you possess Bardsmanship -> If you possess Bardsmanship, and have attained the rank of Kai Grand Master Superior [SO: You can only obtain the Kraan Pipe if you have Bardsmanship (cf. Section 9)] [jb: So we're justifying this because a GM with Bardmanship but below a rank of Kai Grand Master Superior would be unable to "utilize their musical skills to pacify an excited or hostile animal" and otherwise this requirement is redundant?] [so: It is only possible to possess the Kraan Pipe if you possess Bardsmanship (cf. Section 9-> 246; contrast 9->165). Since the player has already said they possess the Kraan Pipe in the previous section (Section 345) they must possess Bardsmanship, so the choice here is pointless. The Improved Disciplines section you quoted is also good reasoning.] |

(er) | 196: | then you raise you eyes -> then you raise your eyes [SD] |
(er) | 200: | Dargorse, and wish to use it -> Dargorse Buds [SD: OR: some Dargorse, and wish to use it. Former sounds better, especially if PA wants to formalise as Dargorse -> Dargorse Buds throughout. However... I flag the latter because of LW27 Vampirium: Section 117: "some Poghlam" in reference to an alchemical Backpack Item)] [jc: Also, remove "And wish to use it" as the following Section indicates its use is not optional] |
(er) | 201, 242: | net -> Net [also: spell (er)] |
(er) | 201: | Bow and -> Bow, and |
(er) | 202: | knowledge of herbmastery -> knowledge of Herbmastery [SD: OR: Discipline of Herbmastery (latter seems more consistent throughout the book, as far as referring to GM disciplines as "Discipline of XYZ" is concerned)] |

(er) | 209: | potion of Fingloss -> Potion of Fingloss |
(er) | 209, 253: | curing -> Curing [so: or, curing -> healing] [jb: I think "Curing" would work better in context: "Using your Magnakai Curing skills, you channel your innate healing powers...". Otherwise, you end up mentioning healing twice in the sentence.] |
(er) | 212, 289: | the amulet -> the Black Amulet |
(er) | 214: | - Invisible Shield - -> Invisible Shield [also: spell (ne)] |
(er) | 217: | go to 83. [SD: are we ok with “go to” vs “turn to”? First occurrence thus far in the book. For consistency’s sake, may want to change to “turn to”?] |

(er) | 220: | Drakkarim Assault Trooper -> Drakkarim assault-trooper [SD: not capitalized anywhere else in book. Does PA have a standard for this?] [jb: Agreed.] |
(er) | 222: | [jb: It's possible to not have your Kai Weapon here? (cf. 49) So "If your Kai Weapon is ‘Alema’ or ‘Valiance’, you may add the appropriate bonus..." should probably start "If you carry the Kai Weapon 'Alema'...".] [so: Maybe "If you are wielding..."] |
(er) | 223: | Move the Assimilance choice before the Kai-surge choice. Since you're not offered a choice of which skill to use, it would be preferable to have the reader use Assimilance since it avoids a combat. |
(er) | 223, 300: | torch-lit -> torchlit |
(er) | 223: | Assimilance and -> Assimilance, and |
(er) | 228, 320: | If you possess Grand Huntmastery, add 1 … possess Assimilance, add 2. -> If you possess Assimilance, add 2 … possess Grand Huntmastery, add 1. [SD: for consistency with all other books, the discipline adding more to the random number total should come first in the sentence.] [jb: Agreed.] |
(er) | 237: | three rounds, or less, -> three rounds or less, [SD: for consistency with previous LW books] |
(er) | 237: | four rounds, or less -> four rounds or less, [SD: for consistency with previous LW books] |
(er) | 244: | ability -> agility |
(er) | 244: | stealth and agility enables -> stealth and agility enable |

(er) | 315: | patrol of sour-faced Drakkarim march -> patrol of sour-faced Drakkarim marches [jb: Debatable, but I'd agree. If ever a group acts like one entity, marching together would certainly qualify.] |
(er) | 319: | Bow nor any -> Bow, or any [SD] |

Although does "it" refer to the rod or the bowstring? :) ] [bk: "You draw back the rod and then release your straining bowstring, sending it arcing down the stairwell towards the advancing enemy troops."] [tp: "You draw back the rod, and then release your straining bowstring to send it arcing down the stairwell towards the advancing enemy troops."] |

(er) | 219: | What at first glance appears -> What, at first glance, appears [jb: I don't think the commas are necessary. The phrase is short enough that commas make the first part of the sentence choppy. Like Captian Kirk, of the U.S.S., Enterprise, would -- talk.] | |

[SD: OR: change second option to: If you do not possess this Backpack Item, turn to 203. -> If you do not possess this Backpack Item, or choose not to use it, turn to 203. [However, it is rare for GM to be offered the option of not using items. SD: "I prefer the former."] [SO: The latter is more consistent with the books.] | |
(er) | 307: | from coma -> from his coma [jb: I've seen it use it that way, like you could say "he is emerging from sleep".] | |
(er) | 315: | dirty grey -> dirty, grey [jb: Maybe the water is a dirty grey. :) In any case, color adjectives aren't usually separated by commas, and in this particular case, it doesn't change the meaning much, does it?] | |
(er) | 320: | grim grey vista -> grim, grey vista [jb: See note on 315 about "dirty grey".] | |
(er) | 341: | thin velvet -> thin, velvet [jb: Agreed.] [bk: Here "thin" and "velvet" aren't coordinate adjectives. For instance, saying "velvet, thin tapestry" doesn't sound right to me nor does "thin and velvet tapestry".] |
