Hi Jon
The revised progression would be as follows:
Book 21 = 5/16 <--- Start with this # Disciplines
Book 22 = 6/16
Book 23 = 7/16
Book 24 = 8/16
Book 25 = 9/16
Book 26 = 10/16
Book 27 = 11/16
Book 28 = 12/16
Book 29 = 13/16
Book 30 = 14/16
Book 31 = 15/16
Book 32 = 16/16
So you will start Book 32 with all Disciplines...unless my very hazy
recollection of Joe's comments re: Books 31+32 being a two-parter is
true, or if the rules for Book 32 say you are allowed to have all
Disciplines in Book 32, either of which seems to be the case in view of
the change from 4 -> 5 starting Disciplines.
The proposed change mainly nixes the strange issue in the Red Fox
editions on the Levels of Kai Mastery section whereby you would seem to
attain the rank of Kai Supreme Master having mastered only 15/16
Disciplines (thus our current footnote).

Did I miss something? :) What - other than increasing the initial
Disciplines to five - are the indications that the NO Grand Master
will be a Supreme Master for book 32?

Yeah, that's definitely worth bearing in mind.
It does seem to be in harmony with the indications in the rules that the NO
will be Level 12 (Kai Supreme Master) when playing Book 32, though. As it
stands in the PA editions, in Book 32 you will be a Kai Supreme Master but
only have mastered 15/16 Disciplines. This change rectifies the discrepancy,
and I seem to remember that Books 31/32 were supposed to be a bit like Book
5 (1 adventure in 2 halves), though I can't find a quote to hand right now.
If so, maybe the rules are that you won't pick a new (the final!) Discipline
between Books 31 and 32.

The only problem with this is if Joe finally gets out Books 29-32, by
book 32 a player who's played straight through from Book 21 will have
all 16 disciplines. I wonder if this is a sign that Joe's now planning
to stop at 31.

Hi all
Further to the outstanding Book 24 issues, a thread on the forum
<http://projectaon.proboards.com/thread/2598/initial-gm-disciplines-book-21>
has pointed out that in the CE of the NO books, you start with
*five* rather than four NO Disciplines, which makes much more sense
and would allow us to kill a footnote in each of the NO books in the
PA editions.
Changes required would be:
(er) 21votm Disciplines: <em>four</em> -> <em>five</em>
(ne) 21votm Levels: [so: kill footnote--also in Books 22-28]
I recommend we implement this improvement in the PA editions. Are
there any other places that require amendment to bring this into line?
