From one of the miss messages for the brute in training:
He thinks you're an instructor and starts to ask question, but you tell him to drop and give you fifty.
It looks like there should be a "a" between "ask" and "question".
Also, i was about to post the "scrawne" from the brute in training description, but then I finally got the joke.

From the athelas leaf description:
This small, dry, silvery-grey leaf from a plant that's not uncommon in places that aren't too heavily settled.
That sentence no verb. Perhaps there should be an "is" between "leaf" and "from".

Nah, it's fine. Extracting the prepositional phrase and expanding the contraction, we get:Sanjuro wrote:From the athelas leaf description:

Re: Spelling and grammatical errors
I still parse that sentence as having no predicate.
Subject: leaf
- this
- small
- silvery-grey
- from a plant that's not uncommon ...
Predicate: ?
Edit:
And if you mean
Subject: leaf
- this
- small
- silvery-grey
- from a plant
- that is not uncommon
then you are *still* missing a predicate for leaf.
Or you mean
Subject: leaf
...
Predicate: is
- not uncommon
But then you have a superfluous "that". Also, it doesn't make sense to talk about the leaf being uncommon, I think.

The multiuse message on the cracked roasting chestnuts should use the plural rather than the singular because "these chestnut" looks a little off.

The jazz about its commonality is hint at where it can be obtained. Looking over things again, I went ahead and added an "is" in there.
Also, multiuse plural for the roasting chestnuts has been fixed.

Re: Spelling and grammatical errors
When I have a Reformed arsonist sidekick and use a combat item, the sidekick message and item message are separated by a line break. However, the line break is missing when I use a throwing star-magnetar. I also tried using a spark plug, and the line break appeared, so the problem doesn't seem to be with the "electrical damage" message.
EDIT: It's the regular magnetar combat message, not the ones that give you a buff or item.
Fixed, thanks again!
