Given that the normal bonus for Grand Weaponmastery is +5, I don't
think it's clear that this +3 bonus is meant to be for Grand
Weaponmastery.

Ah, when we added 271 back into the game (it was an orphan in the
original book) we added it to the wrong place. We should have added it
to 283 instead of 216. I suggest we reverse the related changes we
made in 216 and add the following in 283:
If you have not yet attained this level of Kai rank and do not possess
a Rope, but you do possess a Bow, turn to 111.
Also change the last option to the following:
If you have yet to attain this level of Kai rank and possess neither
of these items, turn instead to 30.

Our footnote is meant to express uncertainty about this question, not
suggest that using both bonuses is "correct". If there's a better way
to express that, we should change it.

Seems reasonable to add this. I'm tempted to footnote the addition to
note its source, but it's probably better to just add it and note the
source on the errata page (which is what we've already been doing?).
