Footnotes
[1] (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.
[2] (The Game Rules) If you have completed any previous Lone Wolf Grand Master adventures, remember to choose an additional Grand Master Discipline and add +1 to your basic COMBAT SKILL and +2 to your basic ENDURANCE for each adventure you successfully completed (cf. Grand Master Disciplines).
[3] (Grand Master Disciplines) Weaponmastery bonuses are replaced by Grand Weaponmastery bonuses, not added cumulatively (cf. Lone Wolf Club Newsletter 28).
If you have completed previous adventures, already possess the Magnakai Discipline of Weaponmastery with Bow, and have reached the rank of Mentora, it seems that you should already be able to add 5 to numbers picked from the Random Number Table (i.e. the basic Weaponmastery with Bow bonus of 3 added to the Mentora bonus of 2 for all missile weapons). Likely, the author intended the Weaponmastery bonus at the Mentora rank to be a ‘hidden loyalty bonus’ (cf. Lone Wolf Club Newsletter 28). In view of this, the +2 Mentora bonus is therefore not cumulative with Grand Weaponmastery with Bow.
Certain sections direct the reader to use different bonuses when using a Bow, ranging from 3 to 5, if you have Grand Weaponmastery with Bow. This may be the author adjusting the Grand Weaponmastery bonus on a case-by-case basis (and therefore this bonus should be used instead of the standard bonus) or an error (and therefore all of these bonuses should be 5). It is up to you to decide, but it seems most reasonable to follow the first alternative, to replace the Grand Weaponmastery bonus with whatever bonus is mentioned in that section.
[4] (Section 10) This is the correct answer to the grid lock in Section 69.
[5] (Section 20) This is the correct answer to the ancient, green crystal lock in Section 213.
[6] (Section 22) If you have not visited the city of Darke, only turn to Section 305 if you met Captain Prarg at the Battle of Cetza.
[7] (Section 23) In view of Banedon's comments in Section 339, it would seem that you should not use the Sommerswerd in this combat.
[8] (Section 50) In view of Banedon's comments in Section 339, it would seem that you should not use the Sommerswerd in this combat.
[9] (Section 69) The section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct. You have only one chance to guess at the correct answer. If you guess incorrect
ly, turn immediately to 139.
[10] (Section 100) This is the correct answer to the intricate lockplate in the centre of the green crystal door in Section 322.
[11] (Section 150) In other words, have you ever visited the domain of the Demoness Shamath?
[12] (Section 213) The section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct. You have only one chance to guess at the correct answer. If you guess incorrectly, turn immediately to 199.
[13] (Section 214) According to Lone Wolf, The Roleplaying Game (© 2004): ‘As trapped by the wave of unlife as his people, Ixiataaga has researched the lore of death and magic for ten millennia.’ This indicates that Deathlord Ixiataaga is indeed undead, so remember that you inflict double ENDURANCE point losses against him.
[14] (Section 234) It seems logical that you should deduct 1 ENDURANCE point due to this use of Kai-surge.
[15] (Section 239) There is no path which leads to this section of the book. It is functionally identical to Section 23 and Section 242, and therefore its isolation does not affect the gameplay of the book. also, in view of Banedon's comments in Section 339, it would seem that you should not use the Sommerswerd in this combat.
[16] (Section 242) In view of Banedon's comments in Section 339, it would seem that you should not use the Sommerswerd in this combat.
[17] (Section 303) If you possess the Sommerswerd, Section 98 of Dawn of the Dragons suggests that you may be able to add 4 to your COMBAT SKILL when using it in the Plane of Darkness (in addition to all other combat bonuses for this Special Item).
[18] (Section 322) The section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct. You have only one chance to guess at the correct answer. If you guess incorrectly, turn immediately to 84.
