[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 9268283, member: 6701124"] Whether something can usefully be done as errata seems to me like a reasonable way for each individual to judge where something falls on the basically-same-thing/revision/edition spectrum. Of course we will all have a different view of what "usefully be done as errata" means, but it feels like it has been widely accepted for decades across d&d editions and its close relatives that a few pages of small corrections and the like don't make a new edition. Going for the other end, how big would the errata documents for og2e->new printing 2e, 3->3.5, or og4e -> ess4e each have been? I know the 2e new printing actually had a disclaimer page saying it wasn't a new edition. But I never played np2e, 3, or ess4e and so don't have a good perspective. If PF had made the unchained class revisions (and just those parts of unchained) official errata, would that have counted as a new revision/edition because those changes have a lot of word count, or not because the (freely provided) updates would be easy for someone playing to use? I wonder how many days it will take for someone to put together an unofficial errata document of the [I]rules[/I] changes needed to get from the 2023 printing to the 2024 printing. It feels like when such a document is out there we can argue a bit more specifically (albeit probably not more usefully) about it. [/QUOTE]
