Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pax" data-source="post: 333579" data-attributes="member: 6875">The thingis, people are holding up the FAQ and the off-the-cuff rulign sof The Sage as being The One True Rule .. only hte published core rules and the errata make that.I don't argue that the errata'd Knockdown Feat disallows stacking with Improved Trip.I DO argue that it should never have been reworded to do so.  Whole different matter.The PHB errata, at least in the early days, was updated more than once.  Errata, by it's definition, SHOULD be updated when and as more errors are discovered.A good example of how to handle errata woudl be how SJGames does it for GURPS (<a href="http://www.sjgames.com" target="_blank">www.sjgames.com</a>).  The document is, if needed, subject to periodic updates, and you can get the whoel file or, IIRC, the most-recent partial listing, of only changes between the prior and now-current Errata.IOW, they errata the errata, where needed.I still say, a FAQ is an explanative document meant to clarify the rules, not a corrective document meant to update the rules.  A FAQ that adds previously-nonexisting items to teh rules, is going about things VERY BADLY, because it is reasonably arguable that such additions are not official rules, but onlysuggested ways to handle non-covered elements of the games.And of course, suggestions != rules.And like I said, until it gets into the errata, it's not a rule, and in fact is contradictory to the official RULES of the game.</blockquote>
