thanks to you all for the great answers, suggestions, ideas and encouragement!
I guess I've been so intent on doing things correctly that I've not been very 
creative.
(I made my own realistic battle grid for sequence #5, though) 
I don't remember reading antwhere that you must complete 3 missions before 
becoming a Bear Knight. Where can I find this information?
And please tell me how and when a LightRaider recovers PV points.
Do you have to complete 3 missions to be a Renewer?
Can the LightRaiders recite wordrunes at any time to gain mu? For instance, 
what would prevent a LR with a CO of 4 or above from reciting the FEARLESS 
WORDRUNE once a day?
