[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6283218, member: 22779"] But, Bill91, too much compared to what? TSR published little or no errata (even just fixing typos would have been an improvement) and certainly never made any freely available in any format. The fifth module in the Dragonlance series was essentially one long errata document and that's about the only errata document I can recall TSR ever producing. No, wait, I lied, I do recall one for the Monsterous Manual (or perhaps it was for the loose leaf version of the 2e Monster Manual) in Dragon. But, that's it. Are you going to try to tell me that the errata document, done to the same standard as 3e or 4e would be shorter than that 3e or 4e one? I certainly don't think so. Not when you have 17 page ADDICT documents trying to explain 1e initiative rules. So they failed to fix the math perfectly. Good grief, one of the fixes was a feat that gave a maximum +3 hit bonus spread over 30 levels. That's a pretty solid math right there when you can fix it with so little. Sure, the monster math needed tweaking. But, again, it's not like the game was unplayable with old monster math. It was just slow. It worked. And virtually all the fixes were done within 2 years of release. The 4e PHB hasn't seen any new changes in a couple of years now has it? At least, nothing serious. There's a lot of hyperbole in this thread and it's certainly not one sided. [/QUOTE]
