Page 116 – Legion of Sentinels [Omission]
Should include the following text at the end of its description: “The swordsmen’s attacks are at a bonus equal to your caster level, they threaten critical hits on a 19 or 20, and they deal 1d8 points of slashing damage per three caster levels (max +5). They only make attacks of opportunity, and their weapon damage is slashing and is affected by damage reduction.”

...huh?!? (Of course I understand what it's supposed to say, but this is supposed to be what it's supposed to say!)

Huh - so Melee Mastery is meant to stack with WF & WS. I was wondering about that.

 

[Nifft]

Argh! They fixed Arcane Thesis wrong!

Empowered + Energy Sub = original level.

Bleah, -- N

 

[Hypersmurf]

Page 74 – Arcane Thesis [Omission]
Add the following text to the end of the “Benefit” section: “A spell cannot be reduced to below its original level with the use of this feat.”

Page 83 – Telling Blow [Omission]
Add the following sentence to the end of the “Benefit” section: “Skirmish or sneak attack damage is added only once, even if you meet other conditions for adding damage, such as if you scored a critical while the enemy was flat-footed.”

Page 93 –Blood-Spiked Charger Tactical Feat; Spike Slam Ability [Substitution]
Should read that the attacks “deals extra damage equal to twice your Strength bonus” and not “twice your Strength.”

All very important notes!

Woah. Yeah that's wonky, Nifft. Hopefully they'll fix it in the... errata... um...

OIC. If you are applying multiple metamagic feats, you apply them one at a time. So an empowered magic missile is normally third level, but with the feat it's 2nd. If you then make it an energy substituted empowered magic missile, it remains 2nd because it can't be reduced below the level of the empowered MM. If you add them in the opposite order, you still end up with the same result.

The real answer to all your questions is:

It doesn't matter, 4E is coming.

No. "Original spell level" already has a meaning.

- An Empowered fireball won't penetrate a sphere of invulnerability. It's not a 5th level spell.

- The save DC for an Empowered fireball is calculated as though it were a 3rd level spell.

I'm just really happy that they finally got around to following through on the "big errata push" that we heard about in May. I was planning posting a rant tonight about the RC being released today without any errata coming out yet. When I checked this morning, the page hadn't been updated. WotC is safe from my wrath for another quarter.

I am curious about why this is a Word formatted document and not pdf like all the other errata.
