[QUOTE="IronWolf, post: 5519405, member: 21076"] Yes, that discussion took place here within the past few days I believe. They are clarifications, not errata though. So many rules are technically written just fine, there just happens to be some ambiguity about them subject to interpretation. That is bound to happen anytime a game involves a large amount of rules, some of which deal with confusing situations. In the end it is up to the GM to adjudicate how things are played. Things like forum posts, blog posts and the such can go a long way to helping a GM decide how to run a rule or determine the intent of the rule. In regards to the poison clarifications recently posted to the Paizo blog there were several people that suggested a sidebar in a future core rulebook printing would be useful. It probably would, but in the meantime a GM has a great resource to get clarification. One of the complaints noted in this thread is that Paizo was too busy "churning" out rulebooks to help clear up any of these areas. I have been trying to show they have been making efforts here and things are not being completely ignored. It may not be official errata, but we're GMs we make the clarifications and they are providing input on helping make better decisions. I think for interested parties it isn't difficult to keep up with the blog. I have it added as an RSS feed and it was pretty easy to realize Jason had started a new column to help further insight on confusing situations. And if you don't want to that's fine too. Make a decision as a GM and run with it. But don't complain that Paizo isn't doing anything ever to help clarify various rules and situations if it is more a matter you don't want to view the resources they have provided. [/QUOTE]
