Interesting.WOTC just released the first Errata for the D&D 2024 Player's Handbook:

I think the original teams concerns was more “we don’t want to fundamentally change how a feature works through errata” (like the change from 2014 to Tasha’s for Beast Master) but corrections or math adjustments (which ultimately is what happened here) was definitely on the table.Interesting.
These are precisely the sort of actual balance changes that 5E's original designers swore they wouldn't make. Of course they started moving away from that with a previous major errata, but it's clearly been fully abandoned as a concept now.
No, it wasn't. It was corrections and clarifications only. They were clear. They weren't doing numbers changes for the sake of balance.but corrections or math adjustments (which ultimately is what happened here) was definitely on the table.
For sure. 80%+ of the people playing D&D 5E now probably don't even know about 4E's rapid-fire rebalancing (which I kind of enjoyed and kind of loathed lol).I also think that the desire to not do massive errata docs during the early parts of 5E14 were in direct response to the ones they did have for 4E. But now that it's a decade later I think most people have gotten over the reflexive cooties-reaction to things like that that they might have had back in '14 or '15, so the team won't be as worried about it anymore.
