[QUOTE="Olgar Shiverstone, post: 3886886, member: 5868"] [rant] OK, I know I'm a poor editor. I'm sure my average post has more typos per line than zits on a 16-year old. I know editing stat blocks in gaming materials is a thankless task, and I frankly don't expect perfection there even though I probably should -- so I don't even bother checking stat blocks in published material any more. I figure it doesn't matter, in the end. But is it really that hard to get the obvious stuff right? I just picked up [i]Anauroch: The Empire of Shade[/i]. Cover: "An adventure for characters of levels 9-13". Third bloody paragraph: "Anauroch ... is designed for four 13th level characters ... [who should] ... reach 16th or 17th level by the end of the adventure". [b]ARGH!![/b] How hard is it to check the simple, stupid things! :mad: Luckily, I picked up the adventure to complete the series, and wasn't actually shopping for an adventure for characters of level 9-13, or I would be sorely disappointed. It is a beautiful product, and once I'm done venting I'm sure this error will not spoil my enjoyment of the adventure ... which I haven't read past paragraph three because I exploded at this particular bit of idiocy! The editor should be marched naked through the halls of GenCon all the while being pelted with Scrabble tiles. Someone please tell me there is an "Editing Wall of Shame" somewhere at WotC where errors like this are posted for everyone to laugh at. :mad: [/rant] OK, I'm done. You may now return to your regular posting schedule. This rant scores a 3.2 on the Rant-or scale. [/QUOTE]
