The 'archery gloves' being sold by Rynnd in the Temple of Lathander is slightly wrong. It mentions a two finger draw, where I was taught a three finger draw. I do like that it mentions the bracer on the other forearm.

exam gloves rynnd
The one glove straps around the wrist, and covers only the index
and middle fingers, protecting the fingers from the bite of the
bowstring. The other is a normal glove with a hardened
leather plate on the underside, running to mid-forearm, which
protects the arm from the snap of the bowstring.

One such glove from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Neet-Suede-Shoot ... B003BJU1U6

Different cultures/settings/races/etc use different techniques. Some even turn their wrist so the index is lowest finger while they shoot. Maybe Rynnd prefers two-finger shooting.

We can get really technical and point out that a bastard sword and longsword are basically the same thing (we're basically naming two general types of longsword along the Petersen and Oakeshott typologies), that "double-edged blades" thrust as often as they cut (indeed some are primarily intended to thrust), or that drawing a greatsword from one's back is not really practicable. Realism is elusive in gaming and, as Alitar points out, there are different approaches.

But I appreciate the pursuit of realism, and because there is a shortage of archery related content in the game, I would recommend putting your head together with a builder for some sort of archery themed content in the future. That way you can be certain that your ideas are represented for like minded others.

Massive as any warhorse, this stallion has a paling man of trimmed hair
and a muscle structure rivaling most of its kind, on the left side of his
rump is a bell shaped branding. He has a perfect set of teeth and fire in
his eyes.

a pale war stallion is in perfect health.

The statue of Talos in the Museum of Knowledge in Waterdeep is missing its description. If one looks at it the only text shown is "ABC", while all the other statues have their respective description.

This is one space southwest of the crossroads between Daggerford and Triel.

The Coast Way
N-Plains E-Plains S-Plains W-Plains
NE-Crossroads near {80NW-Plains SE-Plains SW-The Coast Way
The road is clear of grass and heavily rutted from the passage of many
wagons bearing their heavy loads. There are several potholes that you
must take care to avoid tripping in.
The sky is cloudless and warm and a warm southerly breeze blows.

In Voonlar:

A patroling townguard twirls a tuncheon in his hand.

Not sure if this counts as a Rainy Day fix.

Equip a stablehand with the token of their stable. So you can tell with a quick look whether they are the right stable.

Doing this elven god thing letting them tell me about their gods. Sehanine Moonbow has a typo. She has overtime come to befriend numerous other gods should probably be read as often times. Overtime = often times.

Aramil pointed out that it was probably meant to be over time instead of overtime. In which case it would be She has, over time, come to befriend numerous other gods....

Thank you.

I'm in the business of the Ivory Hands at Darromar and in descending some stairs I noticed it said costing shadows instead of casting shadows.

down
A steep wooden stair
S-The mouth of a U-A storage cella
This steep wooden stairwell descends into a rough-hewn passage, scant
torchlight illuminates the stairwell, costing shadows that seem to dance
and sway as you descend it to the underground caverns below.

Thank you,

Not sure if this counts as Rainy Day or not but it is pretty unimportant.
Tailored outfit bought in Zhentil Keep

You realise that you are not proficient in using leather armour, and will be clumsy while wearing a deep silk cowl.
You wear a deep silk cowl about your waist.


It says silk...so why code as leather?
Also, aren't cowls for your head?

I've bought a lot of these sets in the past; it seems like something funky is going on there. I'd repost this to bug reports.

Super unimportant, but it seems the cattle in the Saiyaddar occasionally drop riding lizard scales.
Definitely wasn't there before.

The golem guard outside of the School of Wonder has a typo in its description.

A magical golem guard stands here.
Constructed entirely of magic and magically enchanted materials this hulking
monstrosity stares ahead with eyes of magical fire. Etched carefully like a
badge in the center of his chest is the symbol of the school, a cresent of
gold stars on a blue field.

Half of lolth's domain spells require spiders web but it's not available in a humanely sourced method in Menzo, should likely be available given what the city is and who lives there. Maybe at the arachnomancy shop?

Dock Street is called dock steet in a couple rooms

Another drow rp thing. Thieves can't for all drow, not just faithed priestesses. There are multiple examples in the books showing non-priestesses using drow sign language, it would be a nice rp flair.

Reevor's hands in candlekeep are full again. He can only seem to carry 5 items at once.

a trollhide bullet pouch covers the leg slot so you cannot see what is being worn beneath. I imagine this isn't intentional

The priests of Callarduran in Blingdenstone are not coded as being part of the faith, can't enquire or apply at them.
