"Foes level 5+ may resist using Will."
Page 105, the DC for ongoing Endurance checks changes from a static DC 15 to an ever-increasing "DC 15 + 1/extra round".
Page 144, under Not There, duration now reads "until the end of your next turn".
Page 156, under Medium Weapon, add bullet point: "If used in 2 hands, grant Strength x 1.5 to damage."
Pages 160 and 279, for Firearms, switch around the prices to better reflect their relative value:
Hunting Rifle = 750 gp
Musket = 400 gp
Pistol = 200 gp
Revolver = 450 gp
Shotgun = 500 gp
Page 255, under Profile of Travelers Lodge, paragraph 2, fixed to refer to pages where magical ships can be found (e.g. ships were not "at right"!)
