Actually, 'tisn't Concealibility 8.

Such was a substantial bone of contention 'twixt members of my cadre.
The Reverend, for those individual who may recollect him, truly swears by
this piece of hand ordnance, particularly for reasons of concealibility
[of course, I would be remiss were I not to mention the time he suggested
that the 9S(f) damage code was to be interpreted as 9S base, 10S flechette
*exasperated sigh*] until we put a query to the Dark Lord on High as to
the numerical expression of the comparative inconspicuousness of this
particularly petite puissant firearm.

He informed us in due course that the concealibility was actually _7_, not
8, and that the value included in the text was erroneous. I am unable to
presently call to mind whe'er this was within the Errata or not.


Yes, for those of you wondering, I am still at hand...research and WWW pages
(my own -- quite a few alterations are on the precipice of promulgation! --
and a new client's) have been occupying my time.
