[QUOTE="zoroaster100, post: 1031500, member: 8538"] [b]More DMG errata in glossary[/b] I'm somewhat dissapointed in the DMG 3.5 glossary. What's the use of a glossary with random bits of information that wasn't properly updated? To me it is clear that no one familiar with the new 3.5 rules (or even with the 3.0 errata) actually did a complete read through of the final product before printing. Perhaps the business managers rushed the people actually working on the product, but the result is too much errata for a revision. I like most 3.5 changes and I think the creative work on improving rules for 3.5 was very good, but I'm fed up with errata. Anyway, here is some more glossary errata: DMG, page 297: Polymorph special ability says "Creatures that polymorph themselves as an ability (not a spell) do not suffer disorientation (as described in polymorph)." Disorientation was removed from the polymorph spell, not only in 3.5, but several several iterations ago of the errata for the 3.0 polymorph spell. DMG, page 298: Spell Resistance special ability, under Conjuration, says: "These spells are usually not subject to spell resistance unless they conjure some form of energy, such as Melf's acid arrow or power word stun." Melf's acid arrow and other Conjuration spells that conjure energy no longer encounter spell resistance. Power word stun is no longer a Conjuration spell, it is Enchantment (Compulsion). (I edited my post to tone down my criticism, since I wrote this post while still angry right after sending several errata emails to WOTC). [/QUOTE]
