[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 5831736, member: 5100"] Every single item listed as "errata" had best be something where the proof-reader missed something, someone handed them the wrong version, or something similar. Errata implies the publisher saying, "How the heck did that get there? That's not what we meant." End of story. If that happens, post it and put it in the next printing of the book. Hopefully, though, those incidents are vanishingly rare. It's a completely different matter if the developers change their minds. That's not errata. That's back-door edition creep. The 3.5e [i]polymorph[/i] errata is a great example of this. I didn't mind it in the Complete Mage (or wherever it was) as an alternate rule, but don't post it in the PHB errata document. Dragon magazine is also a good place to put these alternate "fixes", especially if they're pretty limited in focus. You don't get take-backs and core 3.5 RAW should mean the version of [i]polymorph[/i] in the book. [/QUOTE]
