Maybe, Sections 51 and 242 are parallel, so if this change were made it would
have to be
done for both. I don't recall seeing similar usage elsewhere in any of the
books, so
perhaps the "One" should be removed.

There certainly was. It looked the most rushed of the series from a proofread
aspect.
Most of the faults could be picked up by a simple spellcheck.

True, though I'm not sure whether the lack of bold type would be sufficient to
differentiate them as CC Weapons rather than backpack items. Perhaps both
sections
should have the "(x)" removed and a footnote added instead?

Another possibility.

That's what I figured, just needed clarification.

Is that a "maybe" then?

Exactly, just wait until you see the big list ;) I think I need to find some
way to
organise all of the pending changes/discussions somehow. Luckily for you guys
I finally
got assigned some work to do in the office, so I'm actually busy working rather
than
twiddling my thumbs. Once that is finished though, I'll be back to annoying
the mailing
list with large posts, etc :)
