There have been typos for as long as books have been mass-produced. 5th edition did not invent the typo.
You know, I was never interested in the Froghemoth. Everyone kept talking about it being this classic weird monster and I didn't care.
Now, reading through it, I realized that my mad scientist wizard villain NPC (wow, that's a lot of things) should totally end up with a few of these running around, because they fit with that insane experiments theme I've been hinting at.
Only thing I'm not sure about is the lightning shock, that is a brutal debuff to suffer. I may end up lessening it, but then again, most of the characters I currently have, have almost no way to deal lightning damage so I may hold off for now.
Clearly, "it" is the name of the hatchling. That's canon now.
I would interpret that in the worst possible way for the characters. If the Froghemouth has 2 tentacles available it makes both of those attacks. Then it can also use it's Tongue attack or Bite attack (character within 5'). If it is successful on the Tongue attack, it gets to make a bonus action Bite attack as detailed. So, potentially up to 4 attacks in a round.Sorry for being slow, but what is being said for the multiattack? Two tentacle attacks & tongue or bite per round? Am I reading that right?
Care to point me in the direction of any book, literally any one will do, which doesn't have any typographical errors?This is the only book sub-industry that seems to have a chronic issue with typos and lack of proper editing. Most books don't have typoes because they hire editors who actually catch crap like this.
Because it's not so "glaring" as you make it out to be, nor does the average person that will be looking at the preview think that a single typo on a page of written material suggests any kind of incompetence or lack of care.I asked why they would preview the Froghemoth given the typo.
But that wasn't what I asked. I asked why they would preview the Froghemoth given the typo. They could have easily previewed a different monster that lacked the glaring typo and not made as much a fool of themselves over it. This could hurt some sales (not for long-term fans who have made our peace with the chronic typo problem, but…).
