D&D 4E: Puninator Errata

A lot of the changes made are cosmetic, fixing capitalized letters and bold text. The following are the major changes made to the Puninator Theme.

Name; Change
Pun Generation; Changes the Immediate Reaction to No Action because you cannot take Immediate Actions on your turn. The Trigger has been more clearly defined.
Punning Enhancement; Changes the Immediate action to No Action. Removes Personal range. More accurately defines when the power can be used.
Distracting Pun; Changes the target to enemies instead of creatures. Changes the Effect to end at the end of the player's next turn.
Punning Death; Redefines the use of the Fortitude bonus to allies.

After the cut is the entire reworked Puninator Theme.
