Missing Paragraph in both 2e Pathfinder & Starfinder GM Core pg. 24
I'm fairly sure I have found a significant error with both the Pathfinder and Starfinder GM Core rulebooks.
My sources are the most recently available PDF versions, downloaded in the last couple of weeks.
On page 24 on both books, the section on "Running Encounters" seems to be missing a starting paragraph, under the subheading. Just in the reading comprehension of it, something seems off. Plus the lack of indention for "Stakes:" is another indicator, and this is in both books.
If you check the following sections for "Running Exploration" and "Running Downtime", those sections in both books do have a paragraph before their respective "Stakes", "Time Scale", and "Actions and Reactions" paragraphs.

Soldiers can't use Primary Target when using Brutal Barrage, because using Primary Target would prevent them from meeting the "next action is Area Fire" stipulation after activating Brutal Barrage. This is likely an oversight due to changes made to Primary Target coming out of the playtest. I recommend writing an exception to allow Primary Target.
Primary Target needs clarification on a couple points, such as whether or not it consumes additional ammo (by RAW the stellar cannon fires two rockets to use it, one of which is a dud) and how it works with grenades (either it doesn't consume the grenade, or it does consume the grenade and soldiers can turn grenades into single-target implements).
