Ah, yes.

(??)    Grand Master Disciplines:       [Use Magnakai heading illustrations
from later books?]

Sure. Did I ever scan those?

(ne)    Levels: [so: How do we start the numbered list at 4?]

I've added the "start" attribute to ordered lists in the DTD (over 2
years since the last update!) and to xhtml.xsl. Anyone know offhand
how to accomplish this in LaTeX? I've also added the "value" attribute
to list items, but forget about that for now. To start the numbering
at 4, all you nee in the XML is the following:

<ol start="4">

As for Ben's concern about becoming a Supreme Master with 15
disciplines, etc. that's a bit thorny. I suggest a footnote.

~~~
It is unclear why a New Order Grand Master becomes a Supreme Master by
mastering only 15 of the 16 Grand Master Disciplines. It is also
unclear why New Order Grand Masters must master four extra Disciplines
in order to receive the same improvements to their Disciplines as Lone
Wolf did with fewer.

(ft)    30:     (not clear if you still lose the item?) [LM]

I would guess you do, but...

~~~
It appears that the thief gets away with your item, though that is not
entirely clear from this passage.
~~~

(ft)    44:     (no endurance loss from the arrow?) [LM]

The penalty seems to be solely the effective -5 CS penalty when
compared with 261. Perhaps it is best to leave this as-is and
unfootnoted?

(ft)    142:    (3 arrows are 1gc for all or each) [LM]

~~~
It is unclear whether the Candles and Arrows cost 1 Gold Crown each or
1 Gold Crown for a group of three. Considering that a Dagger is on
sale for 1 Crown and that a Dagger would generally be worth more than
a single Arrow (cf. Section 151), it may be reasonable to assume that
you may buy 3 Candles for 1 Gold Crown and 3 Arrows likewise.

(ft)    328:    You agree to her price and pay her -> (possible to get here
with less than 10gold crowns) [LM]

There is also 17 that has the same assumption that you have money.

~~~
It is possible that you have fewer than XXX Gold Crowns. If so, you
give all of your remaining Crowns to XXX.
