Collected Core Handbook Errata

Yeah, and that includes a fairly big change to the way DCs are calculated. There's a lot to change in the DMG with regard to that. I really hope that they caught this error before they sent the DM's Screen to print. It's got that lovely improv chart from page 42 on it, and it'll really suck if it's the now out-of-date version.

It also looks like skill challenges themselves have changed -- you get fewer chances of failure.
 

They've errata'd the DCs for Mummy Rot in the DMG but not the MM. There's only one form of Mummy Rot in the DMG but three different versions in the MM. I'm guessing the DCs for all three versions will have to be decreased.

I have to say that I'm becoming really disappointed with the amount of errata for 4th edition. Especially something as major as the reduction of all these DCs and the changes to skill challenges and stuff.

Being as I am unable to access the Wizards pages at work I was wondering if someone could post the full list of what has been errata'd.

Alternatively, could someone e-mail me with the information?

Thanks

In case anyone's interested, I've just heard from WotC Customer Service that the upcoming DM Screen will require errata, at least where the DCs and Damage By Level chart is concerned. Pooh. :p
 


The DM Screen errata is already available in the official site as well.
Right but my point is that you won't be able to use the DM Screen without altering it in some fashion. I'm hoping that someone will do a "patch" for it that I can print off and paste over the bit that needs fixing. Although, the more I think about it, the less sure I am that I like the changes. I'm starting to agree with people who think they've gone too far in the opposite direction.
 

I suggest that you look at the errata for the screen in question, it does indeed look like a patch.

Anyway, let's keep to what needs errata.

You're right. When volanin first brought it up, I thought he just meant the DMG errata. I hadn't realized they'd actually put up a "patch" for the DM Screen. I wonder if they did that because I suggested it via Customer Service or whether they were planning on doing it anyway ... either way, that's pretty cool.

OK. Back to your regularly scheduled transmission ...
 

From the original post list, the following items can be crossed off in green as having an WotC update (per the 7/2 errata updates)

PHB

p.28: under 'Retraining', in the Feat section, replace "You can retrain heroic tier feats (see page 193)" with "You can retrain heroic and paragon tier feats (see pages 193 and 202)" (for clarity) [MindWanderer] <added 17 June>

p.55: under 'Keyword Categories', on the Reliable line, replace "If you miss when using a reliable power, you don't expend the use of that power" with "If you do not hit when using a reliable power, you don't expend the use of that power" [Lucas Blackstone] <added 15 June>

p.74: Battle Cry has the Implement keyword and says, "Hit: 2[W] + Wisdom modifier", it should have the Weapon keyword (or perhaps use a different base damage value) [kilpatds]

p.112: under Blade Ward on the Hit line replace “[W] + Strength modifier damage” with “1[W] + Strength modifier damage” [Darth Cyric] <edited 16 June>

p.142: under the 'Fey' section of the 'Collect Life Spark' ability it does not specify when the stun ends (until the end of their next turn? save ends?) [MindWanderer]

p.200: under 'Shield Push', on the Special line, replace "You must carry a shield to benefit from this feat" with "You must be using a shield with which you are proficient to benefit from this feat" [Starfox] <added 12 June>

p.222: under the 'Adventuring Gear' table it lists lanterns, but no oil for those lanterns (despite a mention of fuel and duration on p.262) [Zelc] <added 13 June>


DMG

p.88: under 'Doomspore' replace "Level 3 Obstacle XP 350" and "Upgrade to Elite (700 XP)" with "Level 3 Obstacle XP 150" and "Upgrade to Elite (300 XP)" [OakwoodDM]

p.188: under 'Warlord NPC', on the Weapon Proficiency line, replace "military ranged" with "simple ranged" [Flazzy] <added 15 June>

MM

p.32: in the 'Beholder Eye of the Flame' stat block replace "HP: 240; Bloodied: 102" with "HP: 240; Bloodied: 120" [Barlach]



Of course, other things (aside from what is mentioned here) also got recent errata updates.
