D&D (2024) How extensive (if any) will be the PHB errata?

[DrJawaPhD]

Are these actual problems, or just people liking to argue semantics on the forum? Because most of the so-called problems just seem like folks arguing semantics to try to get around the obvious intent, and as a DM I wouldn't waste time on it.

Nick property has many interactions with other abilities that are legitimately confusing as hell, and not just people arguing on forums for the sake of semantics (although it is the internet so yeah, there's some of that too)

Don't know if you read this thread on 2024 Stealth, but a poster with access to a book and they've playtested the new Stealth rules and when you have everything from the PHB (I think he said 5 different parts), it works.

It may not be as confusing as the piecemeal bits by themselves made it out to be.

At this point I understand the intent of the stealth rules, and yeah, they work fine if everyone is playing fiction-first, but they could probably use a few lines for clarity.

I've noticed, in the preview, that there were a lot of improvements on many things, but some spells have still errors and some "bad" combo seems to exists. Knowing the modus operandi of WotC, do you think they will release an errata, or they wait a little before doing it? Do you think, based on previews, that something need to be patched ASAP (thinking also for the Adventure League, to prevent the organized play to have the "invincible build").

Or they wait for some other publication? Like they did for the coffeelock via Xanathar?

3 pages worth.

As Bronn of the Blackwater once famously said. “There’s no cure for being a”

Cracks me up that folks would actually have players with the cheek to even suggest attacking, sheathing the weapon, drawing another weapon and attacking. With one hand to get around the fact that they only have two hands.

Oh no. I expect them to simply enjoy the half baked loosey goosey rules wrt what quantum item is in your hand to simply do it. They just need to act like the GM is being an unreasonable in hair splitting rules stickler once their GM figures it out & tries top push further than "the attack action sez I can, see where it says before or after each attack"

How so?

2014 Acolyte got
Religion, Insight, 2 languages.

Some get 2 tool proficiencies and languages and tools are interchangable.
And 2 > 1

Religion, Insight, calligraphy.

Are you sure that's a thing?

Even though I am very unlikely to buy the new core books, I hope WotC has improved since last edition because 5e books still had too many errata to correct.

My general rule of thumb is to wait about a year before buying important rulebooks, or at least avoid the first print.

There is a side bar that adjusts the old backgrounds to match the new ones.

Also, everyone gets common and 2 common languages (i.e. not abyssal or Celestial). That's separate from background or species.

Not how I read it. It leaves youbwith one extra tool proficiency or language.

I know.

 

[Stoutstien]

There will definitely be at least a handfull of just editing or copy/paste errors that will fixed between print runs.
Giant insect stands out because there are so many other spells that follow the same pattern that is think most people will slip read and not even notice til the update.

 

[Ruin Explorer]

It's also possible that some of the Previews were from an earlier draft, and a few things (missing words or such) were fixed before the final publication. I'm not holding my breath or anything, but it's possible.

I don't think that is possible. Why do you think it is?

These are the actual printed books. How could they be "from an earlier draft"?
