Libris Mortis - Necromantic Might feat

Hello, I was just building a dread necromancer BBEG and was looking through some of the fine feats in Libris Mortis, but became confused with Necromantic Might. The New Feats description in table 2-1 on page 24 states that the feat grants undead in your presence +2 on attack rolls and damage rolls. The full feat description, however, states that undead you control within 60 feet of you get a +2 enhancement bonus on attack rolls and saving throws.

I managed to navigate through the WotC site and find the errata for Libris Mortis, but it doesn't address this discrepancy. Anyone got an opinion?

Don't worry, Text beats table. That is the official rule.
Apparently originally it added to attk/damage, but they changed it to attk/saves in the end.

It is a bit confusing, but I would go with the full feat descriptor when there is a difference. I would say that any undead that you create that are within 60 feet of you would get the +2 enhancement on attacks & saves.

The Corpsecrafter feat from the same book provides almost the same effect: +4 Str bonus and +2 hp / HD for each created undead.

They probably wanted to differentiate them a bit more.
