Re: Small error I found.
You're gonna have to do a better job explaining how that's an error.

The extra "s" in "responds" seems pretty clear to me.

Smiling_Bandit - Would imagine somewhere at Palladium is a master list of errors that need correction

Re: Small error I found.
Palladium needs an editor.
Sentence fragments, spelling errors, lack of or incorrect use of punctuation, and so on are far too common.

And extra words in a name....
Example: The 'rocket mortar' attachment in RBM, that is for PAs is described as a Rocket Propelled Mortar.
A rocket propelled mortar is a vehicle that carries a mortar that is moved by rockets. The same type of word equation as 'self-propelled artillery'.
A rocket mortar is a mortar that shoots rockets.
There are other sections of texts in that gamebook that are also just plain wrong.

Probably confusion with Rocket Propelled Grenade.
Don't confuse the projectile with the launcher.

“Man-portable” should be hyphenated.

Or at the very learn to use the tools included in word processing programs that could help cut down on those issues like Spell Check (you can add custom words to the program/file's dictionary) and grammar. Not to mention depending on your settings and program it might highlight such things for you as you type to begin with.
I don't know what Software Palladium uses to write the text out, but Spell Checkers have been around for a long time (I remember using it in Word Perfect version for DOS). Grammar I'm not sure about, but I know they've been around for some time as well.
