[QUOTE="Forrester, post: 128785, member: 1279"] [b]Errata to the errata[/b] 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 [I]affect[/I] 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 [B]WoTC[/B] 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) [/QUOTE]
