The fate of the Advanced Player's Guide

[Mouseferatu]

Regarding the martial artist (really I don't see the issue with the name - everyone knows what a martial artist is) paragon paths, shouldn't the 17th level abilities really be 16th level, like the PPs in the PHB?

Aw, damn it!!

Yes, that should be 16th level. And looking back over the files, I think that error pops up in several other paragon paths.

I'm sorry, guys. I don't know how that happened.

Also, I'm guessing that 'chi' encompasses the weapon keyword.

"Chi" is a new power keyword, defined in the book.

Don't worry about it Ari, we'll put up a correction at our website once the book goes live. I should have caught it, but I didn't notice it. *sigh*

I'm sure it's pretty embarrassing, but as errors go, it's fairly harmless. In the absolute worst case scenario, with new players and DM picking up the book and not realizing it's an error, some characters would be slightly underpowered for one level.

I just read through the preview and it doesn't look like the rest of the book will disappoint. Thanks for writing the book and putting out the preview, folks. The PDF will be on my 'must buy' list. Still thinking about the dead-tree version and seeing if it's worth the shipping costs to Canada.

If you are talking about the company publishing the APG, you DO know that one of the head people in the company posts here on a regular basis right? More often than not, its not the companies you need to worry about for identity theft anyway, its hackers and scammers. Pretty sure Expeditious Retreat Press has cred on these boards as not going to steal your identity

You are right about that, but smaller compaines are more prone to hacker attacks. Thats all it takes for someone to get CC info.

You don't want to be doing that so quick. Burn through a few print runs, sell the PDF's, and then talk about how it'd be extra work to get those files corrected, and then maybe, maybe, in a deluxe leatherbound edition, put the corrections up.

You've got to follow the lead in cases like this. Sheesh.

Wow, I looked at all of those classes and gave you lots of feedback...

and never caught that.
Sorry, Ari.

4.5 in all but name, if you ask me.

Advanced Player's Guide sounds like a good investment though.

I've had my CC stolen twice in my lifetime. Both times I could trace it back to Ebay. So don't give me that line about smaller companies being prone cause it isn't true. If you won't trust EXP directly and can't go to a brick & mortar gaming store to have them order it (which they can if they buy from Alliance, ACD or Premier Hobbies) then look at an online store with an established reputation for security who is also a b&m store in California, FRP Games. FRP has a solid reputation both here and at RPG.net for fairness and security.

You mean the lead that put up the first errata in record time, which then provoked complaints from members of the community that errata going up so quickly is a bad thing?
