Errata #32

Story as an adjective.
Description
As per Vic:
Yes, but note that just saying "non-story bane" would be inappropriate when you're trying to exclude non-banes.
That is to say, ”story bane” is a compound noun, so “story” should not be treated as an adjective modifying “bane.” “Non-story bane” would be read as “non-(story bane),” aka any card that’s not a story bane (be it bane, boon, or other). Just as “non-blessing” is any card that’s not a blessing.
If you want to refer to any bane other than a story bane, the phrase you would need to use is “non-story bane monster or barrier.”

I don't think that the phase 'story bane' should be a set term and 'story' should instead be used as an adjective to flag a card as special to the scenario.
Story monsters and story barriers are collectively called story banes. Story weapon, story spells, etc. are collectively called story boons. Story locations, story banes, and story boons are collectively called story cards.
Powers can indicate they affect or do not affect 'story' or 'non-story' cards, in general or a specific group of story cards.

Confirmed this is how some or all of the design team thought it worked. Changing this would fix several cards, and I'm not aware of anything it breaks.
