a5e.tools Errata & A5E.tools

[Morrus]

As you may know, we have an errata page on the official website.

The errata has been applied directly to A5E.tools, and will be going forward.

Which is right and which is wrong?
A5E.tools is still in beta and still being worked on. If you spot an error on A5E.tools, where it differs to the book, but is NOT included in the errata list linked above, please let us know.

Generally speaking, A5E.tools should match the books, with the above errata applied.

Updated PDFs
We will update the PDF this year. Anybody who has the PDF will be entitled to a free upgrade, of course.

What do we make of the extra paragraph squished into the middle of the Bonus Knowledge section under Ability Scores: Intelligence that isn’t in the book?

Also, why isn’t Conjure Woodland Beings in the summoning school?

 

[Tessarael]

In the Adventurer's Guide, Warlock on page 285 and Wizard on page 302 incorrectly state, "Mirror Image (ill): Transform an area of terrain with a convincing, immersive illusion." It should instead be something like, "Mirror Image (ill): Create illusory duplicates to misguide foes' attacks."

Gear Spider on a5e.tools, "Needle. Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) piercing damage." should be "Needle. Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 20/40 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) piercing damage."

I just noticed that the Balor is liseted under Giants

Different Balor. There are two -- the big fire demon kind (a fiend), and the Formorian from Irish mythology (a giant).

Thanks! I did not read the description of the monster, I was just looking at the various giants available and that one seemed out of place

 

[Selganor]

But it seems the breadcrumbs (Rules - MF&MM) linked the demon to where the giant from MF&MM should be

I coincidentally just reread this rule in the book yesterday and thought, "That seems wrong, it should be like this..." and it turns out my edit is more or less exactly what's in the extra paragraph on a5e.tools. Seems like errata that got applied incorrectly?

 

[Selganor]

It seems to be a variant of the "what to do if you don't have a skill that the Bonus Knowledge specialties would apply to" rule.

This way even people who have "knowledge skills" can spend their int-bonus "Bonus Knowledge" to know more languages or tool proficiencies.

On A5E.tools, Conjure Elemental has a casting time of 1 hour. In the Adventurer's Guide (p. 519), it has a casting time of 1 minute. Since the rare version of this spell relies on using rapid summoning to cast, I would assume the AG version is correct.

 

[Mach5RR]

Labyrinth Priest Spell List has them acquiring Passwall twice (DDG p.33). Once at level 5 and again at level 9. Since it is a 5th level spell, the 9th level acquisition is the correct one, meaning the Labyrinth Priest is short a spell at Level 5 (3rd level spell).

Conjure Aberration spell (DDG p. 57), has a casting time of 1 HOUR. This seems excessive, as every other conjuration takes either 1 action or 1 minute.

Thunder Bolt spell (DDG p. 60), is listed as a 4th level spell. But the Cast at Higher Levels section increases the damage if it is cast higher than 3rd level.

Not listed in A5E.tools, but is listed in the DDG (p. 225) is the Aboleth Brute Variant: Aboleth Fallen Ascendant can innately cast phantasmal force. This spell does not exist in LU, nor does it exist in the SRD, meaning it only exists in core 5e. Not really an error - but since this supposed to be primarily for LU, I expected all references would be to LU material.

 

[Selganor]

A player recently noticed that the Tunnel Halfling changes the base speed to 35 (which would be a +10 for the basic halfling at 25) and the SRD (which probably includes errata) lists a +5.

Also, the Twilight-touched Halfling Heritage Gift has Darkvision of 30 in the Tools (the SRD already corrected that to the usual 60)

 

[Unername]

Under Pode Gifts it still says:
"At 5th level you may, if you choose, undergo a growth spurt and swap all the traits in this gift for those of Adult Pode"
Yet the errata says:
"The sentence “At 5th level you may, if you choose, undergo a growth spurt and swap all the traits in this gift for those of Adult Pode.” should read “At 5th level you may, if you choose, undergo a growth spurt and swap all the traits in this gift for those of Mature Pode.”

 

[xiphumor]

Errata suggestion: the Unlikely Wield focus feature requires a weapon with the light property, but that was replaced with the dual-wielding property in A5e. There is no light property for weapons in A5e.

We noticed Rock Dragon references Monstrous Menagerie but we couldn't find it in that source, maybe a typo?
Anyone aware of the source of the Rock Dragon (gargantuan dinosaur)

Thanks @W'rkncacnter , much appreciate the help!

I am currently driven mad by the fact that Osseous PLATE (T&T pg 274) is tagged as Chainmail yet there is no Chainmail item in the AG's armour list (pg 319/320). There is the Hauberk but the sole difference from O5e Chainmail is that it does not impose disadvantage on stealth checks... which the Osseous Plate specifically says it doesn't. Why is it tagged Chainmail then and has a sentence added about the stealth when it could just be a Hauberk?

wow, i almost hate that more then i hate that the full mail suit is called a hauberk when a hauberk is only a shirt of mail and the actual hauberk is called a chain shirt.

edit: anyway, the "why" is probably just that they wrote that item before they overhauled armor and then forgot to go back and change it.

yeah the why is more rhetoric because I just nearly broke my tired brain trying to figure through this magic item.
