[QUOTE="TYPO5478, post: 3712014, member: 37531"] It's not really a rule (at least not a [B]gameplay[/B] rule), but one thing I'd like to see Wizards do differently with 4th Edition is the issuance of stealth errata by changing things in subsequent books (or even different printings) and expecting people to buy them. I'm sure you all have your favorite examples of this, but one recently jumped out at me. [I]Anticipate teleportation[/I] and [I]greater anticipate teleportation[/I] were first introduced in Complete Arcane as 4th and 8th level spells respectively. The Spell Compendium changed them to be 3rd and 6th level spells, as well as changing a few other things like casting time and duration. These spells were never changed in an official errata to CArc, and if you hadn't bought SC, you'd probably never know they had been altered. WotC has gotten slack about issuing errata. I think there's something wrong with charging people for game updates when they've setup a channel to provide free errata but they just don't use it. [/QUOTE]
