Collected Core Handbook Errata

To add to the original post, PHB
p168 Forceful Retort, Add the keyword "Force"

(since it is a force effect and does does force damage and all the other force effects and force damages have the force keyword)

I discovered some new discrepancies.

1. The Mindflayers do not have darkvision, even though they are creatures of the underdark.

2. Orcus has darkvision and low-light vision (overkill?) other high lvl demons have truesight 6.

3. (Rant) One of the wraiths has his regeneration line above his HP, the other has it below. Not a big deal maybe but this is the kind of little editing error that makes me wonder if they have editors. The stat blocks are next to each other, it's a stupid mistake so don't make it. (don't mind me venting of my frustrations , but after seeing the list on the front page of this post and the makeover skill challenges received, ...)

Mummy Rot in the DMG received errata for its Endurance DCs (as did every other disease in the DMG). However, the Mummy Rot in the MM (of which there are actually three versions), did not. I contacted Customer Service about this and they said that the one that used to match the one in the DMG should be errata'd so that it matches again, but that the "lesser" and "greater" versions should be left alone for now ...

I haven't bothered to check -- are any of the other diseases in the DMG also in the MM? If so, their MM versions will need errata as well.

I also wonder about any diseases that are in the MM but not the DMG (are there any?).

Yes.

Creating NPCs, DMG, p.188:
All Hit Points ought to be 'n + Constitution score + (level x n)' not 'n per level + Constitution score', at least if the text about NPCs' hit points being on par with monsters' hp on p.187 is correct.

I also think the roles for the classes, both on p.182-3 and 188, do not really conform with the definitions of the roles on p.54-5.

I'm pretty sure they're correct. It's important to keep in mind that the pc role of 'Controller' is NOT the same as the monster role of 'Controller'. That's why wizard monsters are 'Artillery' while cleric monsters are 'Controllers'.

I thought so. Thanks.

I guess we'll have to wait and see if they get any errata (and if the "lesser" and "greater" versions of the mummy rot do too - they certainly ought to, since mummy rot's DCs are determined by a formula, not just a flat number, and that formula has changed).

You can expect to see the disease DCs in the Monster Manual updated in the next release.

Awesome. Thanks, Greg!

Any chance you can tell us when that will be? I mean, are we talking days, weeks, months?

PHB: Easy Target

PHB, pg. 119, Easy Target (Rogue Daily 1)

On a hit, 2[W] and the target is slowed and grants combat advantage to you (save ends both).
On a miss, half damage that target grants combat advantage to you until the end of your turn.

Should the "hit" entry be changed to say "is slowed and grants combat advantage to you until the end of your turn; thereafter, save ends both" or perhaps each should be saved against individually?

Because as written, it can be better to miss, as it guarantees that you have combat advantage until the end of your next turn; whereas on a hit, the target can make a save at the end of its turn, and might never actually grant combat advantage to you.
