[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 5984703, member: 996"] And because it was the first book in the line, sure. Perhaps even because it was a rush job and had more than a fair share of actual errors... But the reason Essentials has relatively little errata is because they changed their policy and gave up on trying to fix things. Essentials is loaded with overpowered feats and imbalanced classes, among other failings. Some of the simplest and most obvious get errata'd, but a lot of it is just reflective of a change in policy and philosophy. Not that changes extensive enough to fix the class balance issues it introduced are even within the scope of errata. Another way of putting it is that the broken bits in the PH1 were unintentional, thus fixed with errata, while the class imbalance in Essentials was intentional (to meet the same percieved demand that 5e is struggling to fill), and thus is not being errata'd.
