[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 5828109, member: 58197"] Here's how I would handle it: [LIST] [*][B]Clarifications[/B] [I](things that do not change the meaning of the rules, just make them clearer)[/I]: Apply these as found and update each print run of the books to reflect them. [*][B]Minor Issues[/B] [I](balance tweaks, exotic corner cases, etc.)[/I]: Errata released in batches online, monthly or quarterly, with release numbers and detailed lists of what changes were made in each. DMs and players using the electronic tools can select which release they are using. The print books should [I]not[/I] be updated for these, except when the Rules Compendium is released (see below). The electronic tools should have a little hyperlink next to each errataed section; the hyperlink takes you to the appropriate update list, so you can see how it differs from what's in print. [*][B]Major Issues[/B] [I](grossly overpowered mechanics, systems that simply don't work in fundamental ways)[/I]: These should be issued alongside the monthly "minor errata batches." Each one should be a separate update with a checkbox, checked by default, so users can decide for each one whether to apply it or not. Update each print run of the books to include these. When doing so, put a note in bold face to indicate the change, so as to minimize confusion at the table. [/LIST] I would also like to have a 5E Rules Compendium, say 3-4 years into 5E's run, where all the accumulated errata get added to the print books. Emphasize that this includes [I]only[/I] errata; it's not a "half edition" like 3.5. [/QUOTE]
