I see this as slightly different because the Durncrag range is also
referred to as the Durncrags. The Masourn range is never referred to
as the Masourns. So Durncrag can be a noun whereas Masourn seems to be
an adjective. Therefore "the Masourn" doesn't make sense because it's
not a noun. Am I making sense? :)

Just verifying my recollection as I read through that the 4 EP loss is
still accessible if you have a particular Discipline. If so, OK.

OK, I've made some extensive changes to xhtml.xsl, so everyone please
keep your eye out for wonkiness. In the update I've...
* added a "maintext" div that allows special styles to be applied to
the the main body of the text without affecting the framing stuff on
the page
* added a 2ex bottom margin to tables in the maintext and footnote divs
* added an align="center" to all tables in those same places
* while I was messing around in there, I removed the table on the
navigation bar (i.e. Previous, Table of Contents, Next) as per the
accessibility suggestions that we received

Eh, yes I suppose that's fair. :)

Sounds good to me. :)

~~~~~
If you were to use ‘Illuminatus’ in combat against an enemy in an
underground cavern, cave, or tunnel, you could add the higher bonus of
7 to your COMBAT SKILL. If you were to fight this enemy in any other
location, the bonus to your COMBAT SKILL would remain at 5.
~~~~~
I guess it all hinges on the reader comprehending that the "higher
bonus of 7" is a comparison between to separate bonuses. I don't think
a footnote to make that clear would hurt.

I guess it's consistent at least. I can kind of see how you might look
at it as the Lone Wolf series with Kai, Magnakai, etc. not being part
of the series' title. It really doesn't make sense to me, but if I
squint my eyes...
