Re: Barbarian Fast Movement contradiction

Dear Mr. Mohan,

On page 25 of the Player's handbook, under the heading Fast Movement for a barbarian:

1. 2nd sentence: "This benefit applies only when he is wearing no armor, light armor, or medium armor and not carrying a heavy load."

2. 4th and 5th sentences: "For example, a human barbarian has a speed of 40 feet, rather than 30 feet, when wearing light or no armor. When wearing medium armor or carrying a medium load, his speed drops to 30 feet."

3. 6th and 7th sentences: "A halfling barbarian has a speed of 30 feet, rather than 20 feet, in light or no armor. When wearing medium armor or carrying a medium load, his speed drops to 20 feet."


Summary: The examples in the 4-7th sentences contradict what is written as the rule in the second sentence.

I don't see the contradiction. It states that fast movement works in medium armor, and then gives examples.

I cannot find the holding capacities for containers anywhere in the PHB.

MM, animal appendix: Several 1 HD animals, including the cat, the tiny snake, and the badger, have the Weapon Finesse feat but do meet the feat's prerequisite of +1 BAB.


[editorial] The Weapon Finesse feat should not have a prerequisite in order to allow 1st level rogues, bards, and animals to take it.[/end editorial]

I don't see the contradiction. It states that fast movement works in medium armor, and then gives examples.

The fifth sentence says the human barbarian's speed drops down to 30 when wearing medium armor or carrying a medium load, directly contradicting the second sentence.

Fast movement adds 10 feet to your speed. The speed of a human in medium armor or carrying a medium load is 20 feet. 20 + 10 = 30 feet. How is that a contradiction?

No, it doesn't. If it directly contradicted that sentence, his speed would be 20 ft., which is what it would be if he did not benefit from his fast movement when wearing medium armor.

This really isn't errata, and my apologies if this has been said before...

This makes me frustrated!

In the DMG, the table for One Hundred NPC Traits is still only 99 traits! Number 26 is still missing!

Oh well. We're human. Nobody's perfect. We make mistakes.

Cheers!

Take a look at trait 100...

DMG, pg. 185:

"... a duelist adds 1 point of Intelligence bonus (if any) per duelist class level to her Dexterity bonus to modify Armor Class."

I do not think this expression means what they think it means. "1 point of Intelligence bonus per duelist class level," to me, means you multiply the Int bonus by the class level.

The example indicates that they really mean "the duelist adds her Int bonus, up to a maximum of her duelist level" or "the duelist adds her Int bonus or her duelist level, whichever is smaller."

MM p12 Solar Spell-like Abilities errata

In the section for a Solar's Spell-like Abilties, the ability Power Word Stun is listed in the "At Will" group (after 'polymorph other [self only]'), and again in the "3/Day" group (after 'power word kill'). There is no comma after 'polymorph self (other)' to separate it from Power Word Stun in the "At Will" group (assuming the latter power belongs there).

It should be able to use the power either "At Will", or "3/Day" (probably the latter).

Take a look at trait 100...

I didn't realize that until it was posted on the boards here. My bad.

Cheers!

While I understand a few of these obscure references getting through.. frankly the list we are collecting shows a really slapdash job by some of these editors.

You are paid to review and find these errors, and when you miss SEVERAL blatant errors that have direct game consequences, you really drop the ball imo.
