Rule 39: Merchants
In 39.1 the effect of Administration is not talked about (I guess is the +20% to -20% said), though it's seen in the example that it exists.

Section 15: the Church: - 15.9, point 13: whats (in game terms, not spiritual ones) the advantage (if any) for a character to have a confessor?
- After 15.14, sections are numbreed 14.15 and 14.16, while they should be 15.15 and 15.16
- 15.17: again, the ranks of the deceased above Brigadier in the Military funerals are named as Lt General and General, instead of the new names (Marshal de Camp and Marshal de France)

Being called ministre in this definition means they have mminister obligations (attanding the government, full-time appointments, etc)?
If not (as I guess), I'd suggest to change the world "ministers" for "vice-ministers" in the definition to avoid confusions.

Commissioner of public health and Minister of Justice both need the applicant to be a skilled practitioner (I guess in medicine and Advocacy respectively). Their needed SL are 10 and 8 respectively. Nonetherless, to be such Skilled Practitioner they need SL 11.
In the case of the Commissioner, it can mean the +1 per SL is set at SL 13, but in the case of the Miniser, as the +1 would be always, it would be easier to just reduce the needed roll by 1 and set the minimum SL to 11...
Of course, this would also mean that if they achieved the "rank" of skilled practitioner and lattre they lost SL(s) they can still apply for those applications.
BTW, what would happen in this case? would they lose this "rank" (and become Competent PRactitioners or lower, depending on how many SLs they lost)? only its benefits (SPs, wadges and influence) but keep the "rank" for other effects (after all, they are as skilled as before)?
And slightly related: Doctors appear in both, 35 and 37, sections. As section 35 is related to Artists, I guess it would not apply to doctors...

[/li][/ul] [/quote] Mechanical? None. Social benefits? I suspect some of our clergy players may be less inclined to look kindly on players without a PC confessor when it comes to dishing out praise. I think they do have minister obligations. They're there to support the senior ministers after all. That's an interesting question. How do other games handle this?

About Military Appointments table: - The Maitre de Camp office has no SP/Inf/die entries (I guess they are the same as Regimental Adjutant, but it should be made clear)
- Same problem with Etat Major for Majors (cav captain). In this case, too, I guess Guards Captain should be added to Rank. Not sure here if it's the equivalent to the previous one (in this case aide to Marshal de France)
- Frontier commander (For Marshal de Camp or Marchal de France) is written as 0 SP. Is this right?
- In the entries for Inspector-Generals, the Special entry is not clear (I guess there's a line problem there)

Again in the Military appointments table, and as discussed before, I find odd the application of COmmander of the RFG.
Being an application, it means that no other application may be held, and also that any benefits (SP, pay, etc) are above the ones for his rank (in this case, Captain of the RFG), and they are quite high for this...
You said in former discussions that this will be a spacial appointment where all thsoe factors are instead of the ones for the rank, not in addition to, but if you mean this, I'd suggest to make it a temporary Rank, instead of an application (not unlike the Marshal in the original rules, that was always brevet). Of course, this will have the side effect (for good or bad) that he could apply to another application (as any military officer)...
If kept as an application, and to avoid confusion, I'd suggest (as already said then) to change the benefits to 2 SP and 6 Crowns pay, so when added to the Guards captain ones, they become the 11 SP and 30 Crown pay given there...

In some games I've seen, not going to confession results in penalties similar to not having FC. Maybe similar should be adopted here? It would certainly encourage PCs to choose a confessor Maybe the following (cannibalised from the Time of Honour rules) might be tagged on to the end of rule 15.1 ?

I like it in theory, but I'm not sure what difference it would make in practice. (At the moment, people are given a NPC as a default unless they change it and I think most people would just do that as a standing order).

Not having a PC confessor does not mean not atttending confession. Huillaume could well specify he has the Regimental Chaplain as confessor, just to give an example...

Well, if people aren't given an NPC by default, losing SPs through not having a confessor would soon make them choose one, whether an NPC or PC - but hopefully the latter. Helen had an NPC confessor for a month or so, before deciding which available PC would be the most helpful.

Madame Duschene's School of Social Graces Table (page 60)Are those gains per week? If not, how long take the courses? Sorry to bump this, but I'd need to know, as attending this school is one of the possibilities Huillaume is thinking about. Having access to the court makes those abilities important to him...
