Dr. Awkward said:Since you seem to ignore "officialness" when determining which rules to use when there's a contradiction (as most sensible people seem to do, choosing to go with what works best for them), what does it matter whose opinion is official?
Given the quoted question, my vote (which was sadly left out in the poll) is "none". If I don't agree with it, it's gone.TheEvil said:What text will you let stand, even if you don't agree with it?
Ogrork the Mighty said: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.
Gansk said:In an ideal world, yes. In reality, WotC does not go to the lengths of identifying and correcting mistakes as well as some people in this forum. They copied the MM III errata straight from John Cooper's review here on ENWorld. When some people here pointed out that John Cooper made a few mistakes, the errata was not corrected at WotC.
