My understanding is A: the RC is considered errata. I called up WotC just now and asked them point blank "If the RC contradicts the PHB, even most recent printing with errata, does the RC supersede the PHB?" The answer is yes. I then asked stealth errata. Yes, even if there is no errata on the website for that rule or, in the case of the Spell Compendium, spell, the RC or SC supersedes any earlier version.Hypersmurf said:Let's say the Rules Compendium states that a Medium longsword deals 1d10 damage. Either a/ the RC is considered errata and/or primary, and overrules the PHB's assertion that it's 1d8; or b/ the RC is not considered errata and/or primary, and is in error any time it differs from the source. In case b/, it would be better for the RC to effectively contain photocopies of the primary source material, since any changes it makes are irrelevant anyway.
