[QUOTE="TerraDave, post: 5180877, member: 22260"] As is so often the case, the problem is the thread title. In the 4E forum, were this was finally moved to, many people have [I]already[/I] sworn off buying the books. Its all virtual now. So, for say Primal Power II or PHB IV, which are very much aimed at the update aware hardcore, ya all this erata may be a problem (though to be fair, later stuff is getting far fewer patches). The real problem though is the convience of DDI. Now, back to your title. I am sure they are working real hard to keep the errata down for thos products. And, as Merric has reminded, one point of all of this is to bypass those ridled with error core books. It will only be a problem if things are really super broken in the new builds as to actually be noticable in play, or different groups are using different rules and this causes some confusion or tension (of course, back in the day, it was always like this...). Finally, to this thread. It has been a [I]lot[/I] of errata. About 50 pages for the first 4 books. Its not of a fractional, corner case or marginal nature. It is changing widely used skills, nerfing popular charecter options, complete rewrites of the rules for aid another, mounted combat, and flying, and this was just the last [I]batch[/I]. But this may the last of the big patches. With Collins gone and an ever shrinking staff, we probably won't have to worry about, or hope for, so much rules updating. [/QUOTE]
