The only place that it's capitalized is in our footnotes and in the
map for The Legacy of Vashna (which still has it incorrectly labelled
as "Maaken Miner"). However, it seems like it should be capitalized.

Leave it in the footnote, but let's remove the awkward "as described".

Leave it as a footnote.

Leave it as a footnote.

Leave it as a footnote.

I suggest we change our footnote:

At this point Hunting will again begin to fulfil the Meal requirement.
-> You may now begin to use Hunting once again to fulfil a requirement
to eat a Meal.

Add a note to our footnote that the Mongoose edition forbids the use of Hunting.

How about this: "Even when evading combat, you must still turn to 17
if you lose any ENDURANCE."

Leave it as a footnote.

Leave it as a footnote.

Add a note to our footnote that the Mongoose edition forbids the use of Hunting.

Leave it as a footnote.

But what if you came to 245 from 127 where you have that extra man.
Does this solve one problem and create another?

Add a note to our footnote that the Mongoose edition forbids the use of Hunting.

Leave it as a footnote.

> 327: Added "(Remember to erase this Sword from your Action Chart.)"

Leave it as a footnote.
