First off, well done Chris, and all those who worked on this document. It looks pretty solid. And many thanks for the highlighted changes - makes reading what's changed very easy.

This list probably isn't all the typos - it's just the ones I've found. Mostly minor things - no biggie

Step 6 of Character Creation (Home Region) refers to the 'point-of-contact (POC) triad'. Elsewhere in the document, the triad is referred to (correctly) as a collective noun but this instance implies a singular. The text should say 'triad point-of-contact (POC)'. Like I said, a minor thing.

FAQ Campaign Rules section, p 65, talking about bardic music. The text says "whom may be willing to part with it". It should say "who". I could go into great lengths about when it's "who" and when it's "whom" but you asked people not to overdo things so I won't.

FAQ Character Creation section, p67, talking about stuff that becomes restricted. The text talks about "proscribed changes" but the correct word is "prescribed changes". While the typo is minor, the two words have very different meanings.

Thanks. Quite a few of these things are holdovers from when I inherited the document. My predecessors were not as exacting with grammar and spelling as I am.

Looking good so far...will have more time tomorrow to review.

Table 3-4: Allowed Player's Handbook Deities - many of the deities have extended choices in the LG Deities Document. Something should indicate to new players that they have more options even for those deities alone.

Prestige Classes: Sublime Chord is out of order, it should be after Stormlord.

The faq clarification for profession, craft, and sleight of hand seems to imply that these activities can be performed after a metaregional module in their region. Is that correct?

The section on metaorgs could use some cleaning up since it mentions lots of stuff that metaorgs nolonger provide access to etc.

Maybe to something less confusing and more streamlined like this:

Meta-organization Access Benefits are considered to be both Frequency: Regional (in the Region(s) in which the meta-organization exists) and Frequency: Metaregional (in the Metaregion(s) in which the Region (s) exists). PCs may no longer spend TUs to change the Frequency of these items to Any.

Since everything they do give access to is on the current list of exceptions afaik.

At the bottom right of page 20 it says "While we have a game mechanic in the middle to work out the math, in game your character is salvaging the item your want."

your should be you.

In Table 2-1 on p. 5, Zeif should be listed after Yeomanry rather than at the bottom. The intended order is (North American regions, alphabetically) (all other regions, alphabetically).
