I’m not sure I agree with Josh that the : at the end of the description of the Tools of the Trade is not the end of that sentence.
Technically this is illegal and has to be reposted, sorry. Non-official posts can only become official if they have 0 comments.

A terminal punctuation mark is the punctuation mark required to end a sentence. There are four types of terminal punctuation to choose from: the period, question mark, ellipsis, and exclamation mark.
A colon is specifically designated as internal punctuation and a clear marker that the sentence continues.
@Josh: Does Heists {I} contain sentences entirely embedded within another sentence?
What about Identity Theft {M}? The last paragraph clearly consists of two sentences, but the rest of the rule doesn’t contain any terminal punctuation.
I think the definition you’re using is only designed for sentences that are punctuated correctly, which is not guaranteed in this dynasty.
(FWIW, I think you are probably right, but care about knowing why you’re right.)
