Looks awesome. I make Mithridate a purchasable neutralize poison in some of my games.

More edits: "macxe" in the weapons list. Talent table, missing a space after "Dexterity,", and normally none of the entries would end with periods, right?

This gets me every time. I apparently have no conscious control over my punctuation use.

I do it too! But thankfully I can usually spot it on my edit pass.

I do an editing pass too, but editing your own stuff is a perilous adventure. Full of missed opportunities and spurious punctuation.

It's laborious and wasteful, but I find printing stuff out on paper as part of the editing pass helps. And while it doesn't help with punctuation necessarily, I cannot praise the value of reading work out loud highly enough, although your family will get tired of it.

It's not wasteful at all. I'm much better with my own stuff when I have paper and an actual writing implement.
