[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 5030178, member: 710"] I find this interesting. I think it's problematic from a partical point of view usually. Incorporating all the errata and revisions into my own books is almost impossible. But thanks to the Character Builder or Monster Builder, it is really easy to deal with in 4E. Overall I think a game greatly benefits when the designers are able to go back and fix mistakes they made quite a while ago. It allows to evolve the game continually with shorter cycles, without needing to put out new editions or "sub"editions (aka 3.5). Of course in the end you are still doing what you did with those, but you don't have to do it in big stacks. You don't have to worry about invalidating your old source books. You just update them as you go along. Of course, the print version are kinda out-of-date. But 4E has all the tools you need to not have to refer to those books during play. You can print out your character sheet along with power cards that describes everything your character can do. DMs now have the monster builder to get up-to-date stat blocks. And it's not as if they would "revise" the flavor text or the world description. This part remains. [/QUOTE]
