[QUOTE="Aegeri, post: 5547609, member: 78116"] It's not about if I agree or not with the errata, it's that they did it without telling anyone and so I end up making myself look silly. I always thought it shouldn't have had the level and that was a mistake, [URL="http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/26246773/Dragon_393_-_Class_Acts:_The_Cavaliers_Steed"]others did as well[/URL].
