To say “we’re using rule X but not rule Y” is troublesome to say the least. All of my players use it-some share accounts-to the point of not really knowing how to create a character without it. It’s difficult to ignore the errata due to the Character Builder. So to finish this itty-bitty rant, let me know when a fully errata-applied 4e rule book goes on sale. I wish I could, but my reality is unfortunately different. I actually envy you for being able to enjoy the hobby as much as you do. I do however, see the need for this for all you organized play folks, or those of you with a heavy play schedule and rules intensive group. And worse than tedious, boring, and boring is never good. All this errata is becoming tedious for me to manage, when my players don’t even care about it. The new aid another rules seem good, as well as the 3d movement stuff.Īt this point, 2 years in, if my players don’t really give a crap, and we don’t run RPGA stuff, why should I? I’m not in this to be hassled with updating my stuff anymore as I have been in the past. In all honesty, powers are going to be fixed in the character builder anyway, so I’ll jut pick and choose what rules updates I apply, if I remember to.

And now I’m still getting updates to the conditions from PHB1?

For the past two years almost, I’ve been printing out the erratas, updating my books, cutting and pasting over my DMG and PHB and all that good stuff. They just want to get together and roll some dice while talking smack and eating pizza. More importantly, my players don’t really care about erratas, updates, and clarifications (oh my!). The truth is that even though I have a D&D blog and what not, we are just casual players, with very limited time to play. My players don’t hit the optimization boards looking for that “broken” stuff. We are certainly not power players looking to build the best and most optimized combos. I can’t imagine those of you out there without the character builder. For me (and I speak only for my particular case) it’s becoming a bit much to catch up with. The next few months will see a continuation of the current roll-out schedule, but after September and the release of the Dungeons & Dragons Essentials line, we expect to pull back the process.” “We know some if you feel as if the update process has become too agressive.

The document includes this statement at the beginning: Another batch of 4e errata went live on Tuesday.
