I would like to report the exact same error on my part -- amazing coincidence!
Also, to forestall any further reports of this error, I'd like to include the fact that an untold number of us may be ready to report it as well!

Drat, I was going to reccomend they use larger font on page 123 of the DMG. My scanner was not picking up the text that well so I could send it out over the internet.
I kid! I kid!
Does "turning the whole game into nothing more than a slightly expanded version of the D&D Miniatures game" count as an error?
Because there seems to be almost nothing in the three books that isn't focused entirely on fighting tabletop skirmish battles using plastic miniatures and a battlemat or dungeon tiles.
I figure it MUST be an error. Why on earth would they do this to D&D on purpose?

No the error is the two words left off the cover. It should read Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Miniatures

I suggest you make this in bold, flashing letters, since obviously some of the previous posters neglected to read it.

Please tell me you are asking a retorical question.Transit said:
[vodka] Because wotc knows where their bread is buttered. A tactical combat centric game, thus minis centric game, keeps money flowing in due to DDM sales, which in turn keeps them employed since wotc can prove viability to Hasbro {intentionally not typing 'Ha$borg' because shareholders are people too, whose own wellbeing may hinge on how well habro does in the financial market]. As it happens I am not that PO'ed D&D has gone from wargaming roots back to skirmish wargaming because I am a fan of minis. Yes, it would be all kinds of awesome if the D&D ruleset could switch from tactical minis combat to pure narrative from round to round without losing a step of precision, but that is not what we have ATM. I'd mention a few more things related to Gygax, may he rest in peace, and Adkinson, but thank the Creator, I am not that drunk ...yet[/vodka]
Now back to making counters for those not blessed with 1000's of minis.

10 feet to a side. 10 cubic feet is ludicrous since we measure everything in sides.

I'm not sure if this is a joke or sarcasm or not, but no, it is not easier to say "a 1,000 cubic foot cube" than "a 10 foot cube".
Per my other thread, there are a whoooole bunch of weapons in the Monster Manual that don't have stats in the PHB equipment list. Worst of them is the scourge (which deals 1d6 damage with, as far as I can tell, no special features or reach - nice whip, dude), since you can derive stats for tridents easily and make up stats for a blowgun without too much trouble. Also, apparently the guys who wrote the Monster Manual were under the impression that rods could be used in melee as clubs, while the people who wrote the Player's Handbook were under the impression that rods could not be used as melee weapons at all.

i found an error. Scale mail Does not have a armor check penalty, and it has more armor then then chain that has a 1 armor check penalty.
It seems pretty fishy. I don't know if it would have 1 armor check penalty or 2, considering plate has 2. I think considering hide armor has 1 armor check penalty that scale would have some. It just lits it as "-"
Do i win something for finding the first possible typo?
