(The Game Rules) The Discipline bonuses mentioned do not affect your permanent scores. If you have completed previous adventures, the Disciplines that you have mastered may still be beneficial. See the Grand Master Rules section of the Readers Handbook for details.

-

(The Game Rules) Note that this list is not identical to the one used in The Plague Lords of Ruel: this list is missing the Silver Bracers and Korlinium Scabbard. These items are restored to the list of permissible items from the Kai and Magnakai series again in The Deathlord of Ixia. Presumably, therefore, it should be permissible to leave the Silver Bracers and Korlinium Scabbard in safekeeping at the monastery during the intervening books and retrieve them at the outset of The Deathlord of Ixia.

-

(Grand Master Disciplines) The rules of the books in the Magnakai series (612) and the fact that the rank of Kai Grand Defender means you are skilled in two weapons imply that for each book that you complete of the Grand Master series (1320), you will gain mastery of an additional Weapon. E.g. if you complete The Plague Lords of Ruel and have the Grand Master Discipline of Grand Weaponmastery at the beginning of the next book, you can choose an additional Weapon from the list to have mastery of.

-

(Improved Grand Master Disciplines) The Strength spell is, in practice, also used in armed combat contrary to what is indicated here.

-

(1) Note this Scroll as a Special Item that doesnt take up any space on your Action Chart.

(6) This is the correct answer to the crystal dais grid in Section 164.

(10) This is the correct answer to Shamaths riddle in Section 189.

(21) If you have already spent all of your money, you have a choice: you may either give her an item of comparable or greater value, or you may simply disregard this cost.

-

(36) The originally published edition of this book instructed you to add 5 points to your ENDURANCE score. We believe that our alteration to specify restoration instead of addition is closer to the intent of the author. The original led to several questions. Would this additional score be a permanent increase of your maximum ENDURANCE? Permanent alterations of basic scores in the middle of an adventure are rare making this option unlikely. Nor does the context support this conclusion. Then would this addition only be for the duration of the combat similar to the bonus to COMBAT SKILL? This makes the bonus useless. If you were to complete the combat with fewer than 5 ENDURANCE points remaining and then removed the bonus after the combat was over, you would be just as dead as without the bonus. Another proposal was that you should remove the bonus from your score only if it leaves your score above the normal maximum after the combat. Although reasonable, this probably wasnt the intent of the author since he did not specify this procedure. We have opted for the simplest, most straightforward choice: that this is just a restorative effect.

-

(54) There are strong indications that Arch Druid Cadak should be immune to both Mindblast and Psi-surge, but not Kai-surge. The Cener High Priest fought in The Plague Lords of Ruel Sections 156 and 212 is immune to these lesser psychic Disciplines, and Section 267 of this book describes Arch Druid Cadaks inner mind as well-shielded.
