[QUOTE="Spatzimaus, post: 803086, member: 3051"] The way I originally heard it, the Errata is only updated when they make a new printing of the books. That is, if I took my First Printing PHB and made the Errata changes, it'd look the same as the book available on shelves now. (Except that my handwriting is messier than theirs, of course). Since they don't make new versions very often, the Errata doesn't usually get updated. The dates on the various errata seem to support this, although I haven't seen enough versions of each book to confirm. A potential change will go into the FAQ, first. This doesn't make it an "unofficial" ruling like Sage Advice; it's "official", it's just not quite as permanent as the Errata. They can, theoretically, put something in the FAQ and then overrule themselves in the future. Hopefully, when they release 3.5E, they'll update the errata with all the stuff they've put in the FAQ since the last printing and we can end these arguments once and for all. [/QUOTE]
