What was WoTC thinking!?!?!?! Power Word Pain

[Cheiromancer]

Has it actually received errata, or is that just everyone's assumption?

Power Word - Pain is supposed to be 4th level and Power Word - Distract is supposed to be 1st.

I had looked at that, and the FAQ, but I couldn't find anything about Races of the Dragon. I was wondering if I was looking in the wrong places, or if there was some Sage Advice article that addressed it or something.

It's pretty clear from that list that WoTC is either placing their errata somewhere else, or they're a wee bit behind.

I was the one who started the original Power Word: Pain thread way back then.

It's never been erratta'ed, and the idea that it was a mistake was only an idea propogated by people on these boards, never an official statement by WoTC.
