	The "Starting Stats and Abilites" page has been updated with a few more "selections" of "basic ranged weapon" - this is because the humble lasgun is at risk of becoming extinct in the player party and, as a result has had a bit of a tune up, as have Autoguns, and Stub Guns, Shotguns have returned to the basic ranged weapons but you will notice they have lost being able to fire in melee or do rend in this configuration - this is because if you selected Special Weapon Training you now have access to the superior Combat Shotgun instead.

	The "Mission Supplies" entry has been updated to divide supplies into: Ammunition/Explosives/Chems/Esoterica following feedback that many enjoyed the flow of these being separated from each other - with the return of Ammunition the "abundant ammo" rule has been removed entirely as all characters with a ranged weapon now start with Ammunition for their ranged weapon.

Traits that previously gave you “access to the mission supplies pool” will now give access to 5 of the appropriate supplies. Multiple choices of the same type of supply do not stack. I recommend checking out Tech Powers and Weapon of Old Night especially as these now represent their unique ammo by relying on Esoterica (of the Machine Cult) to fire.

	'''Trader''' now gives you access to 5 ADDITIONAL supplies, of any type you like. This does not need to be a type you normally have access to.		'''Trader''' now gives you access to 5 ADDITIONAL supplies, of any type you like. This does not need to be a type you normally have access to.
