Magic Item Compendium Errata: Where Is It?

[LonePaladin]

According to this, the errata for the Magic Item Compendium* is available. When I try to get it, though, I end up with a 404 error. Did anyone manage to get it yesterday before the link went dead?

* Incidentally, it's almost impossible to refer to this book by it's abbreviation — MIC — without someone in my group chiming in with "K - E - Y". Go figure.

I'm curious what's getting errataed in this book. Amber Amulet: scorpion is a no-brainer.

 

[XCorvis]

Still not up. I bet someone made a typo in the filename.

The link goes through to a 'technical difficulties' site now.

 

[Notmousse]

I think it's in one of my Y! groups, lemme check.

...

Sadly no such luck.

It's posted now.

OK, so when do we get errata for the errata?

Page 34 – Everbright [Omission]
The end of the first paragraph is missing a statement. It should read: “The wielder is not affect [sic] by the blinding ability.”

Page 35 – Fleshgrinding [Substitution]
The last sentence of the second paragraph needs a text fix. Here is the new text: “It will not returns [sic] to your hand if a creature other than you pulls the weapon free and still holds it.”

Page 49 Cudgel the [sic] Never Forgets

Page 101 – Gauntlets of Lassitude
[Substitution]
Change the first line to the following: “Three times per day, activate these gauntlets make [sic!] a melee touch attack with them.”

There are more. Nice copy editing, WotC.

You really care about minor misspellings in errata documents issued in the waining days of 3.5 for a later product in that line?

As for the errata itself, it's a shame we didn't see errata for the Belt of Healing (which either has it's creation cost wrong, or it's market price wrong).

Page 104 – Tabard of the Great
Crusade [Revision]
Clerics of St. Cuthbert can’t be evil. Change the
second sentence of the first paragraph as follows:
“When you wear one of these garments over armor,
you and every ally within 20 feet gains a +1 morale
bonus on saving throws, provided that you are
lawful neutral, lawful good, or neutral.”

Heh. Clerics of St Cuthbert can't be neutral either.

A cleric may not be neutral unless his deity’s alignment is also neutral.

I do. I mean, come on -- if you're going to the trouble to issue a few pages of errata, please take the time to check it for typos. It's the professional thing to do. The fact that we're in the last year of the line is in my opinion no reason whatsoever to get sloppy.
