This is a rant... Ignore it!)............Ten minutes ago I was quite happy... On the last (at least here in Italy) number of the Dungeon magazine (the 95) the Violate Spell meta-feat from BOVD was reprinted because it was used in the adventure, and it was different from the one of BOVD! The BOVD contained needed to be bought once for each spell (like Spell Mastery), the corrected version was a standard metamagic feat (buy once, run anywhere (like Java! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" /> ).But then I began thinking... So they DO make corrections when someone send erratas (I don't think the persons at Paizo simply decided to change the description of the feat)... But they are simply too lazy to share these corrections with the world... And I was very pissed! (more than half the modules for DnD don't have an official errata. Very often we (the gaming community) have to use a FAQ (Skip's one) as an errata. I hate this! I "collect" (I don't play them) GURPS modules... I have around 50 of them (a little more). For nearly every one of them there is an errata. Old erratas are still updated. One or two weeks after a module is printed there is the errata for the module. There is even a page with the listing of the latest erratas that have been added (not simply which files have changed, but what in every file has changed). I "buy and play" Hero 5th edition. There is an errata for nearly all the newer modules (the ones that have been printed in the last year, after they produced the newer edition) (And the character builder program is being updated once a week). I've bought the EQRPG Player's guide. There is an official errata. I've bought 20 modules of DnD 3rd ed. I have seven erratas for them! There are erratas that are printed in an errata but not in another (Polymorph anyone? Or the Ogre ECL!) I don't know how much I'll have to wait...</blockquote>
