Whats Errated that was Rogue Useful :)

[Istar]

We go straight by the book and ignore all errated stuff.

Hence my Rogue might try and find space for Ranger M/C feat that people say has been nerfed in the Errata

Any other goodies out there ?

Sneak Attack and Stealth, obv.

That's......obtuse.

Well then, quickly switch PCs to become a Warlock....'cuz they make *much* better sneaky types than rogues, if you ignore errata.

So, in this thread, we're to list all of the broken stuff that was errata'ed?

My suggestion is to read the errata. It should bring to your attention all of the goodies.

Why would anyone do such a thing?

...so you don't learn from the mistakes of others?

It also means you can't use the Compendium or Character Builder, since they have the updated versions.


I think it's fine if you're going from the books to allow book content (assuming it's not rpga) instead of errata content, but to disallow errata is just.. wrong

It might be easier for them to just play by the books. I know back in 3e I was always like, "Wait, wasn't that errata'ed?" *spends several minutes paging through printed errata* "Nope, guess not!"

Sure.

...but: More often that not, the errata fixes a significant problem <points at Stealth rules, Skill Challenge rules, etc>, and just ignoring that is creating more headaches, not fewer.

In 3.xe, we all managed to handle errata pretty well. With all of the extra online and pdf stuff now, it seems even easier to handle. YMMV, I guess.

Meh, just my small attempt at rationalizing his group's decision. I don't agree with it at all, fwiw.

Hey, maybe Istar doesn't either, and he's trying to make the most broken rogue possible in an attempt to make his group realize that errata is useful and contributes to a more enjoyable game overall?
