Since there is no need to deal with the weapons on the Action Chart, I
think we should leave these as they are.

Commas used to delimit a soft parenthetical. I think they're OK.

It looks like the book uses both ways (or at least our XML does). How
about we settle on the following markup?
<cite>Lone Wolf New Order</cite> series
"New Order" is part of the title so should be marked as such. If so,
we should probably also make a similar change for "New Order series"
where there's no "Lone Wolf".

What does everyone think of adding "your Backpack Items" to the list?
I don't think mentioning the Backpack explicitly would be in keeping
with how the books treat it for the most part.

Marginal but I vote to change it because it's referring to what
weapons are on your Action Chart and so that it doesn't seem out of
place with all of the capitalized versions surrounding it.
> (er) Equipment: (bows) weapon -> ? Weapon (3x)
Similar to above. The middle usage could be left uncapitalized, but
then it looks like we're being inconsistent to those who don't know
the rules we've established. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Change.

That was my understanding, too. Footnote?
