A lot of people here really don't and simply bash me for expressing a very solid opinion.For example, if I buy a PS3 and I bring it home and it doesn't work, does Sony turn to me and say,"Sorry. If you want the bugs and problems fixed, you'll have to wait until an upgraded PS3 comes out and buy it all over again. Oh, and by the way, the newly upgraded PS3 will come with 2 new games and a Sony coffee mug! Next!"No, they take it and give you a new one that should work the way it was supposed to work.The same goes for spells that needed errata. Instead of posting errata a good month or two after a book comes out, they wait until a million spells come out while ignoring the cries for fixes. Then they decide to make a book that simply takes those spells and puts it in one place for easy use and make changes on over 50% of them. I have looked through my Spell Compendium and compared it to their original sources. Most of them have been altered, and significantly. The fixes or changes that should've been done for free online has all been put in one place and you have to cough up $40 to do it. That's what I don't understand. It just sounds like a cheap ploy to get more money from gamers. And then ya got a fan-boy based group on here brainwashed into thinking otherwise and bashing me for it.They're about to do it again with Rules Compendium. I'm just surprised many people think you should have to pay for errata (though the poll states otherwise). I am glad most businesses don't run that way or our economy would fall really quickly.It's also really hard to talk to a fellow gamer outside your D&D group about something with he/she saying,"This is what it does." and I go "No it doesn't, it does this." And they appear confused until I tell them there was errata for it. "Where was the errata? On their website?" they ask."No, it's in this book. If you want the errata to this and some other stuff you'll have to purchase it."You should've seen the looks on some of these people's faces.And here's the ironic part!The Spell Compendium itself needs errata. A lot of it, from what I've seen and many others have been crying for. Yet has WotC released one yet? No. Will they release one? Yes. When? Most likely when they're trying to sell you Spell Compendium II. You'll have to buy a book that has errata to a previous book that had errata to previous books.....where does the line get drawn, really?</blockquote>
