Based on the beasts of burden section on page 55 it seems like a light load is half the maximum heavy load however, the Pegasus has the same heavy load but a light load of 400 so either 450 light load 900 heavy load, or 400 light load 900 heavy load? The hippogriff has the same thing going on as the gryphon.

It's amazing, after 10 years of this, that we are still finding errors...

As mentioned on this GD thread, there's no range info for the hellhound breath weapon.

Apparently, griffons and hippogriffs should have the same capacities as pegasi. So 400 and 900 pounds for light and heavy loads respectively.

LibreOffice 5 formats things differently. Gah. I'm going to be reflowing R106 forever...

I guess it didn't take quite forever. Chi, if you have time, please take a look at the R106 PDF and see if there are any flow issues. Also wouldn't hurt if you (or anyone, really) were to read the Hellhound text for me... I did a lot of rewriting there.

Part 8: Game Master Introduction: header still says "Treasure" until page 150.
A hellhound's breath weapon is a cone of flame 10' wide at the base (the far end) which is 10' long for those having 3 or 4 hit dice, 20' long for those having 5 or 6 hit dice, and 30' long for the largest hellhounds. its victim may save vs. Dragon Breath for half damage. The fiery breath of a hellhound does 1d6 points of damage per each hit die of the monster to all within the area of effect; a successful saving throw vs. Dragon Breath reduces damage to half normal.
A hellhound's breath weapon is a cone of flame 10' wide at the the far end (base to me sounds like the beginning of the cone not the end) which is 10' long for those with 3 or 4 hit dice, 20' long for those with 5 or 6 hit dice, and 30' long for the largest hellhounds. Its victim may save vs. Dragon Breath for half damage. The fiery breath of a hellhound does 1d6 points of damage per each hit die of the monster (kinda wordy but I'm at a loss how to reduce it without losing clarity) to all within the area of effect; a successful saving throw vs. Dragon Breath reduces damage to half normal.

R107 uploading now. I did the hellhounds mostly the way you describe, and I think the headers are okay finally.

R107 (with cover updated with correct copyright date) looks good for print!

I'm pushing R107 to Lulu and CreateSpace now. The covers for R104 should have the correct copyright dates; all my R104 copies are in the hands of one of my players right now (he's taking them to a convention for me) so I can't look. I'll double-check before activating them.
