Message: <blockquote data-quote="MrGrenadine" data-source="post: 5565257" data-attributes="member: 62619">Regardless of the wisdom in the errata itself, I have a big problem with the way things are being updated--bit by bit, in a constant, slow drip, over months and months....In my industry, digital tools made production faster, easier and cheaper, which is generally a good thing.  Before this, changes to work--especially late in a production cycle--were often very expensive, and sometimes impossible.  But one downside of the digital tools is that you may have to work with people who think that the fact that something can be changed fairly quickly and easily means that it should....always....at the last minute....and then maybe changed again, or changed back.  It can be maddening.Just because something can be changed, doesn't mean it should be changed.I for one would like to see a moratorium on game-changing updates and errata for a while.  Keep 'em to yourselves, R&D, and when you have a large number of important changes, that have been weighed against one another and balanced, and that add up to a significant update to the system, release them together as a revised edition of the game.That way, the changes can easily be recognized and understood in a big-picture way, and campaigns can decide for themselves what changes they want to incorporate or ignore.But this new edition by a thousand cuts--adding and revising feats, changing monster stats, adding and deleting class features, renaming things on an apparent whim--is truly frustrating.  Maybe the character I've been playing for months will be viable tomorrow, and maybe it won't--I guess I'll just have to wait and see!  I want the game to feel solid, well-planned, rigorously tested and stable, and the current state of affairs--especially in light of stealth errata like the Healing Word change--makes the game feel quite the opposite.</blockquote>
