I note that one only knows this is a "Bonus" attack is through FAQs, interpretation from other examples, or in-depth knowledge of the rules. Just like knowing that the forward arc symbol and primary attack are not the same thing, or even that the forward arc symbol and firing arc are not the same. Its all there, but the short hand used for brevity means you better have it all memorized.

And leads to misinterpretation, humans being human. My point is that I have seen it done better. When you need to understand specific situations by stacking several rules, exceptions and special cases- examples are needed.

I have been playing with some other newbies that were not arware of the rules refernce pdf. They were using just the rulebook. Oops! But a sign of an overly complex system struggling to keep it all together. I am impressed in how many times, once I figure it out, that the system holds up. But clarity and precision are not the same.
