[QUOTE="Kahoots, post: 4222809, member: 60570"] Oh, so true... if I had a nickle for every time someone freaked out about a possible problem in 4e, well I'd be a rich man... Well, maybe not, but I'd have a nice big back of nickles. :cool: My take on WOTC's editing is that they do a darn good job. Yes, they make mistakes, but that is going to happen on 1st print runs. It just is and to me it's completely forgivable. I work as an editor/proof reader for a marketing company and I'd consider myself pretty good at what I do, but things get by. We do our best, but it happens. With the whirlwind that is 4e and with all of the rules changes and last second modifications, things are going to be missed. That is the purpose of 2nd print runs.
