Rules Update: In-Game Books

Thank you, Charlie.

More to the point, however, is that the "Art of War" did not confer a lore, but rather conferred the ability to use a skill.  Thus no disclaimer would be necessary.  However, I fully agree with your point about not sullying it.

The new requirement states "Any Tome, Manuscript, or Codex must contain the following text at its beginning:". So wouldn't this book also require one? Or is it a different kind of book that is not one of those three?

Either way, perhaps I can come up with something to hold these disclaimers that will not harm the book. I will think on it.

Cassie is correct, no In-Game book that has any mechanical properties is exempt from this.

There was an item card attached, which stated that one gains the use of (X SKILL) for the period in which the work was read.  In essence, the book was a magic item, as I paid the cost of having the skill imbedded permanently in the book.  There was a checkoff card as well,  to prevent all of Travance gaining the skill each period. 

Thus, it was not a Tome, MS or Codex - well, an argument could be made for any of them, but all it conferred was the use of a periodic skill, which, and I am certain a RM will correct me if I am mistaken, requires only a Magic Item Card.

It's a book - please add the text, Charlie.

geoff,  because i know you've seen my book,  would it be acceptable to ink the disclaimer on the bottom of my title page instead of printing out a card and taping it on?
