rules for the previous
Lone Wolf
books, it seems odd that a Grand Master is only allowed to choose to be proficient in one of the few Weapons listed in the Equipment section . In view of the unprecedented nature of this rule, you might decide that it is acceptable to be proficient in any of the ten Weapons that the Kai typically train to use.

    [3] The rules in the Collector's Editions state that the bonus for Grand Weaponmastery with Bow is 5. 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] Details about the Kai Weapon appear in the next section of the game rules.

Equipment
    Before you leave the Kai Monastery and begin your journey to Gazad Helkona, you equip yourself with a map of that territory and a pouch of gold. To find out how much gold is in the pouch, pick a number from the Random Number Table and add 20 to the number you have picked. The total equals the number of Gold Crowns inside the pouch, and you should now enter this number in the ‘Gold Crowns’ section of your Action Chart . If you have successfully completed previous
New Order
adventures (Books 21–24), you may add this sum to the number of Crowns you already possess. Fifty is the maximum number of Gold Crowns you can carry in your pouch at any time. You may also select five items from the list below, only two of which may be Weapons.
Axe (Weapons)
Sword (Weapons)
Quiver (Special Items) This contains six Arrows; record them on your Action Chart .
Flute (Backpack Item)
Dagger (Weapons)
Bow (Weapons)
2 Meals (Meals) Each Meal takes up one space in your Backpack.
Rope (Backpack Item)
Potion of Laumspur (Backpack Item) This potion restores 4 ENDURANCE points to your total when swallowed after combat. There is enough for only one dose.
Broadsword (Weapons)
    List the five items that you have chosen on your Action Chart , under the appropriate headings, and make a note of any effect that they may have on your ENDURANCE points and/or COMBAT SKILL .
Kai Weapons
    Upon reaching the ultimate rank of Kai Supreme Master, Lone Wolf received as a reward from the God Kai many new skills and abilities. One of these skills was Kai Weaponcraft. Using his newfound mastery, Lone Wolf forged ten weapons of magical power in the armoury furnaces of the Kai Monastery. These magical weapons are reserved for the élite of the New Order Kai who attain the rank of Grand Master.
    In recognition of your rank and achievement, you may choose your own Kai Weapon from the table below or, if you prefer, you can generate one at random. To generate a Kai Weapon, pick a number from the Random Number Table and consult the first column. The magical Axe, Sword, or Broadsword which corresponds to the number you have picked will be your own personal Kai Weapon. Record this magical weapon and its unique properties in the Kai Weapon section of the Special Items List . 5
    Example
    Say you choose the number 1 from the Random Number Table , your Kai Weapon will be the Axe ‘Alema’.
    When using this Kai Weapon in normal combat you may add +5 points to your COMBAT SKILL . Each Kai Weapon has a unique property. When you use your Kai Weapon in combat against the type of enemy that matches its unique property, or use it at the optimum time or location, then you may add the higher bonus to your COMBAT SKILL . 6
    Example
    If you were to use ‘Alema’ in combat against an undead enemy, you could add the higher bonus of +7 to your COMBAT SKILL . If you were to fight a living enemy using this weapon then the bonus to
