sounded to me like he wanted a unified table. I saw the unified and my mind apparently didn't register the one page per class.

yeah that table, while much less scary being for only one class, looks very 2e AD&D and it's a bit busy looking, honestly the current layout matches the look and feel of the game edition BFRPG is emulating much closer.

No entirely on my head, you said one page per class and it just went in one eye and ended up, er somewhere I don't do any thinking it seems.

Page 164: The Gem Type tables have a line above the header row, but no other tables have this.
Page 164 & 166: The Unguarded Treasures table has a line above the header row, but it also has a table (or is it a section?) heading above that so it doesn't look as mismatched. Until reading to page 166. Here, the Potions, Scrolls, & Wands tables all have a bolded table heading above the header row, but there is no line between the two, making the style inconsistent with the Unguarded Treasures table.
Page 164: The Gem Type tables are not alphabetised while all the other tables in this section are (e.g.: jewelry type, magic weapon type, special enemy, armor type). Personally, I don't think this matters. Mentioning it only since it stands out on a close read.
Page 175: Knowledge and Connection table has a line above the header row.
Page 179: Line above the header on the first table of dungeon encounters.
Page 179: The dungeon encounters table is a d12 roll, but this is not mentioned in the text. A sentence similar to the one use on the wilderness encounters section might improve clarity and will make this section consistent with the other random encounter sections. E.G.: "If a dungeon encounter is indicated, roll 1d12 on the appropriate table below."
*: This one is really minor. Throughout the book, some random tables use the die/dice type in the header. For example, the value adjustment table on page 164 has "2d6". The encounter tables in Part 8 just have "Die Roll" as the column header, leaving the reader to infer die type from the outcome ranges, or to read it elsewhere in the text.
Page 19: In Confusion, the first column is not centred. In all (most?) other tables, columns containing die roll outcomes are centred (examples: Reincarnate, Teleport, Part 8 tables).

As before, I will update this post if I find anything else on this read.
I'm done on this read. It was hard work to find anything, which is good.

Is the index generated automatically or by hand? Does it need checking? I've checked a few entries at random and they are all correct.
Forgive me for quoting my own post. I just want to make sure these points are not overlooked as they are for r119 but buried several pages back now. I don't mind if no edits result from them, just don't want them missed altogether.

Ack. Somehow it seems I did miss it.

So I guess there will be an R121 sometime in the next 24 hours.

Egad.

Thanks again for your hard work. Reading through the Workshop threads, it's clearly been an intense few months here.

Multiple edits by new proofer Daniel Collins has led to another Print Release Candidate. Yup, that was quick.

I lost an edit that should have been in R121, due to a LibreOffice crash; thus, there will be an R122 today. I'll hold off to see if there are any further edits.

Fixes to a couple of errors in the credits is literally all that was done between R121 and this new Print Release Candidate. I don't want to jinx it, but we may be getting close.
