[QUOTE="UngainlyTitan, post: 5762211, member: 28487"] My view is that 4e is perfectly playable out of the original books. Most of the errata is only stuff you would notice if the unerrarted version is bothering you or if your are playing organised play. So my advice is, ignore the errata to begin with and play with the material you have. If a particular feat or power is a problem then look it up in the errata. If you find that you are using a lot of errata lookups then pick up a copy of the Rules Compendium. If you like 4e and want to continue with it after that pick up a DDI subscription. Only buy the books that you will use. By the way Essential will not get you the errata for the classes in the older books. The rules Compendium will have errata for basic rules and all the skills. Item creation is ritual based. I believe the relevant rtiuals are in the PHB1. The really powerful 3.5 stuff are now artifacts, which can come as go as they please. Do not be afraid ti create your own rituals. You may want ot play around with ritual costing and casting time to encourage use. Poke around the forums, people have come up with different takes on but unfortunately Wizards have not really come up with much support for ritual use. On a final note DDI may be more cost effective way of getting erratted classes using the character builder than buying all the books. [/QUOTE]
