Excellent!

Fixed in Books 22-28.

This was decidedly NOT fun, but they've all been fixed.
(er) 30 [x2], 232 [x2], 264: an ale -> a pint of ale [??]
This doesn't tweak my idiom violation meter. "Go to the cooler and
grab a beer." :)
OK as-is.
It sounds weird to me, but not weird enough that I'll make an issue of it. ;-)
(er) 206 [x2]: tackroom -> taproom [??]
Tack as in equipment for riding a horse?
Yes, I see where you're coming from. It doesn't appear in any dictionary I have
access to, though.
(er) 207, 222: (You are unarmed: ignore all weapon bonuses) -> [Phrase
more consistently with other sections.]
How so?
Er, I honestly can't recall what I meant with this. Rejected!
(er) 225: 10,000 -> ten thousand [as per JD's original text]
I don't know, I kind of like it better the way it was published. Any
particular reason for this?
I personally think numbers like that look better in text than in numerals, but it's hardly
important. Rejected!
(er) 291: MS5054 [Is this date for Shasarak's demise correct?]
Good question. I don't remember much time keeping in Grey Star, but
it's worth a look.
Thomas did a timeline somewhere that I've lost the link to. :-\
However, according to War of the Wizards Section 1: "Though it seems to you but a short time since
you arrived at the Daziarn, seven years have passed here in the material world." That makes the year
of Shasarak's demise MS5057 at least. 5054 is therefore an impossibility; maybe alter this to MS5057?
(ft) 327: [SD: (From 173) Probably want to add a footnote telling the
reader to deduct 1 ENDURANCE point for using Kai-surge. I've seen this
before in LW23 (where the player uses Kai-surge on the
Inquisitor-major to force him to stop blowing his hunting horn).]
Joe has a lot of discretion to be inconsistent. :) This also reminds
me of the situation in beginning of Fire on the Water where Lone Wolf
proves his identity to the impostor. Lone Wolf achieves a similar
effect with no loss of EP. There's no clear evidence that this use of
mindforce requires a loss of EP. Since this isn't a stated rule, it's
up to Joe to decide.
Maybe add a footnote to say that a player might decide to deduct 1 EP for this
use of Kai-surge?
Wow! That was nice and straightforward. :-)
