community-cypher-system-ref.../patches/de-ogcsrd/082-remove-old-gods-of-appalachia.patch
Brian S. Stephan 281a0acbe1
remove a lot of the OG extra content and similar references 
these are things that are not included in the core commons version
because they're homebrew, because they are a lot of writing/creativity
that I don't feel comfortable stealing/distributing, or so on. most of
Old Gus's and the community's content is removed in order to have a
near-CSRD state

what remains is the rules clarifications, errata, splicing together some
information from secondary sources (like the Starter Set or from game
authors on Twitter), and organizational assists

things removed includes ideas that I like, but either plan to write my
own way in the future, or again I just don't feel comfortable copying
verbatim, especially if, for instance, I have my own process and don't
need to advocate for a different one

stuff that's likely to get folded into my core is arbitrarily numbered
300s instead of 000s

-**Editor's Notes ---** There are a few suspected misprints in the *Old Gods of Appalachia* types:
-
-**Protector**
-
-- *First-Tier Protector* [(OGOA, 27)]{.og-ref}. The Protector is the only type where listed starting equipment
- explicitly states the PC begins the game with two [cyphers](#choose-cyphers) (chosen for you by the GM) and 2
- dollars. If this is the case, the GM should provide all PCs a few cyphers and appropriate
- [currency](#equipment-currency-and-prices).
-
-- *Fourth-Tier Protector* [(OGOA, 29)]{.og-ref}. The *Practiced with All Weapons* [(OGOA, 30)]{.og-ref} ability serves
- no purpose for the Protector type, and was probably meant to be a *Fourth-Tier Sage* [(OGOA, 30)]{.og-ref} or
- *Fourth-Tier Speaker* [(OGOA, 57)]{.og-ref} ability. If the GM agrees, these types can choose this ability instead.
-
-- *Fifth-Tier Protector* [(OGOA, 30)]{.og-ref}. If the GM agrees, the [Arc Spray](#ability-arc-spray){.og-ability}
- [(110)]{.og-ref} ability makes a suitable replacement for *Practiced with All Weapons* [(OGOA, 30)]{.og-ref}. This
- option should only be used if rapid-fire weapons are available. Revolvers might qualify as early as 1840. Rapid-fire
- long guns would become available by 1870, but would not be widely available---especially for civilian use---until
- after 1920.
-
-**Sage**
-
-- *Second-Tier Sage* [(OGOA, 36)]{.og-ref}. The *Weapons* [(OGOA, 37)]{.og-ref} ability allows a Sage to become
- practiced with light [weapons](#equipment-weapons), indicating a set of missing inabilities with all weapons under
- *First-Tier Sage* [(OGOA, 35)]{.og-ref}, which should read as follows:
-
- **Weapons:** You have an inability with light, medium, and heavy weapons; your attacks with these weapons are
- hindered.
