Errata to the errata
First of all, I am upset that they didn't errata the Darkmantle to allow Improved Grab to be used against Small and Medium-sized creatures. By the current rules, Darkmantles can only Improved Grab creatures that are Tiny or smaller. Yeah, that's really useful.
Second, HIRE AN EDITOR:
Under the Troglodyte errata:
"The
affect lasts ten rounds. Once character has succumbed to a particular troglodyte's stench ability, or made a successful saving throw against it, the character cannot be by the same troglodyte's stench ability for 24 hours."
Affect? I suppose it's a morale penalty, but I still think the word they were clawing their way towards was "effect". And "the character cannot be by the same"?
I brought this up on another thread regarding d20 publications in general -- the editing is usually flawed, and it is sometimes horrible. It's even more shameful when a company with the resources of
WoTC can't find time to proofread eight damn pages of text.
Text that one would hope would be mistake-free, given that it's supposed to be correcting *other* mistakes.
EDIT--
Hey, Axiomatic! Nice jab about the Hill Giant Chr of 17
. What you say you and I round up a couple other anal-retentive types and put together a *REAL* list of errata to the Monster Manual?
Another fun error they didn't correct:
Owl: Tiny Animal w/1HD
Advancement: 1 HD (Medium-size)
2 HD (Large)
Um . . . wow.
Less egregious, but still having the "skip size category" problem:
Monkey: Tiny Animal w/1HD
Advancement: 2-3HD (Medium-size)
