[QUOTE="Nightfall, post: 578617, member: 374"] [B][/B] Glad I could help and I'm glad to help answer any questions. [B][/B] If you mean "Will there be stuff posted online like previews?" It's possible. If you mean "Will there be errata" I think it's safe to say no. Such errata would be almost as long as the either book. [B][/B] True but this takes all that information and distills into ONE book instead of searching for it online or doing it yourself. Plus better artwork this time around! :) I really strongly suggest you invest in this book, mainly because it takes the entire Creature Collection 1 to another level. But then that's just my opinion. You're allowed to feel otherwise. As I said, the CRs in the book aren't perfect but then not everyone has Scott Greene or Monte Cook on speed dial or available to work on such issues. But I do believe if you're worried about the spell-casting ones just adjust them to suit their respective spellcasting levels. IE: If it casts as 17th level sorcerer it's a CR 17.
