Inconsistencies and clarity issues

Location Issue Suggested correction
Throughout Effect text alternates between “you,” “the drinker,” and “drinker.” Choose one subject style, preferably “the drinker,” and apply it consistently.
Throughout Frequency wording varies among “Twice per day,” “Two times per day,” “Up to 2 per day,” and “2 times per day.” Standardize to one format, such as “Up to 2 times per day.”
Throughout “per day,” “per weekend,” and “per event” sometimes lack final punctuation. Add periods consistently.
Throughout “d10,” “1d10,” conditions, skills, and calls use inconsistent capitalization and quotation marks. Match the game’s official terminology and standardize quotation-mark style.
Peppermint Cream The effect requires a third shot, but the limit says “Up to 2 per day,” making the effect impossible to trigger if the limit applies to this drink. Confirm whether the limit should be “Up to 3 per day” or whether the effect/limit is intended differently.
Sweet Cherry “Cure for “Hex” and “Poisoned”” does not specify whether both conditions are cured. Use “Cures the Hex and Poisoned conditions.” if both are intended.
Witchshroom “see Ruby” references an item/entry not present in this document. Confirm that Ruby is defined elsewhere; otherwise add the missing rule or replace the reference.
Pumpkin Pie (Cocktails) Its frequency line uses a round bullet () while the rest use square bullets (). Replace it with the document’s standard bullet.
Pickle Shot The final bullet is empty. Remove the empty bullet.
Lemon Shot “5 per day” does not state whether this means five shots or five uses. Use “Up to 5 shots per day” (if that is intended).
Sweet Cherry / Peppermint Cream / Pumpkin Pie Condition names and calls vary in capitalization and quotation style. Use the exact standardized condition/call names throughout, e.g. “Fear” and “Resist.”
Titles “Of The Earth” and “Will o’ The Whisky” use title capitalization inconsistently with normal title style. Confirm the official names; otherwise use “Of the Earth” and “Will o’ the Whisky.”
