Re: Spelling and grammatical errors

In computer lab when decrypting a disk:
Note you won't make any progres on the decryption until Vlad's Decryptonomicon software is running.
Also, might want a : after note or change to "Note that".

You get 1 extra XP point for every 2 points of Foe Toughness, if I remember correctly. Good for power leveling through retcons, not good for new players who don't have all the gear they need to withstand all the extra damage enemies are doing.

Best tip would be to buy some TNT and blow him up. Otherwise, wait a level or two, and also make sure you don't have a lot of buffs running when you face him since some of his defenses feed off that.
