Having the tables in the text makes them much easier to refer to while
reading a rule than when they're only in the back of the book. Doing it
like VR 2.0 did and putting the important tables in the back as well as in
the main text would be best for any rulebook, IMHO.

And for my opinion as well.

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
