[QUOTE="D'karr, post: 5984794, member: 336"] I'm glad for those 27 pages, there were some things in the first phb that were seriously overpowered, but mostly when used in a "broken" way. I never had a problem with my group with any of the "broken" powers because they simply do not play in that manner. I'm pretty sure that there are a lot of groups out there that probably never looked at the errata, or cared that there was any at all. They either house ruled any issues or their gameplay was just fine and didn't require adjustment. Just because we on the internet pay so much attention to it, does not make the issue a huge deal. Essentials had "less" errata for two reasons. They finally figured out that they needed a better review of the rules, and they had several years of experience with the actual rules at that time. If WotC did a "revised" printing of the original books right now, and incorporated errata, there would be less errata after those books too. 3.x had a bunch of errata, and unfortunately a bunch of stuff that should have been errataed that never was because they were already working on the new game. The game still plays fine if you incorporate some of the errata, all of it, or none at all. It's not a huge deal. [/QUOTE]
