was the mongoose change based on the PA footnote? Using that for justification to confirm the change would be a bit of circular logic, unless we are using Mongoose as the new 'gold standard' for what goes. If changed, I would recommend leaving a footnote describing the change and reasoning.
Changes in the Mongoose editions are supposedly made with Joe Dever's input, cooperation, and blessing. This section has always been difficult to understand, and it seems Dever's final word is that the wrong stat was used originally. It certainly simplifies the section, and losing a long-winded rules-fudge-footnote makes it a win/win situation to me. ;-)
If the footnote is so loved that we don't want to lose it, it could be incorporated into the text of the errata entry for Section 308, so anyone looking for it could still find it . . .
