I will do the mature thing and simply stop posting in it so that you may continue to not worry about showing respect for the gaming style of other people.I think this is probably very similar to the actual truth from the WotC perspective.  Of course that shouldn't surprise anyone - because they did publish the boook so they should be in favor of considering their published rules as official errata.That doesn't mean that all the people who play D&D have, though!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
