There, I just voted for Errata.
Scion said:But, in any game that I am in the dm is the final arbiter. If I am the dm then my final interpretation stands, if someone else is then theirs stands. If it is a big deal I might try to get them to change their interpretation, but overall it just comes down to what the dm says![]()
TheEvil said:Naturally the DM has final say. No game without them, afterall. The poll is more about what individuals consider a good source, not on what rules at the game table.
TheEvil said:Understand that I am not picking on you, just trying to understand where you are coming from. What differentiates the Errata from the FAQ for you?
IcyCool said:Errata and the WotC Books. Those are the rules. "Rules of the Game" the "FAQ" and "various Wizards employees" aren't the rules. It's pretty simple, really.
Scion said:Hence the part of my post that you didnt quote and the 'but' at the beginning of the part you did![]()
Ogrork the Mighty said:I disagree. If WotC is allowing it's employees to comment on the rules in official forums (e.g. on its website), that's tacit approval of what they're saying. If it wasn't, they wouldn't be allowed to make those comments on such official forums and would be relegated to such unofficial forums as EN World or other internet sites.
It's for exactly the same reason that gov'ts won't let their employees comment on something in an official capacity (e.g. by identifying themselves as gov't employees or making comments on gov't websites) unless it approves of what is being said or gives authorization for the people in question to make the statements.
At worst the comments made by WotC employees on/in WotC products are still more "official" than what you read on generic internet sites; at best those comments are in fact official.
None of this means mistakes can't be made. But if they're such big mistakes (and just b/c people disagree with them doesn't make them mistakes), WotC would presumably correct them.
