The link currently goes to a blank page which is actually nicely ironic. |
| #2BoldItalicJun 08, 2015 10:32:27 | Some content on its way, perhaps. Not expecting much new but nice to see it codified. |
| #3Xeviat-DMJun 08, 2015 13:06:57 | The link goes to the main page now. |
| #4kikidmonkeyJun 08, 2015 16:20:42 | Obviously this means the game is perfect and no errata is needed |

| #6SleepsInTrafficJun 08, 2015 19:52:30 | They screwed up today and put a bunch of articles up (at least on their mobile site). Like the unearthed arcana wasn't supposed to be out till the 11th I don't think. At least that was it's listed publishing date, and since today is the 8th... |

| #8RCanineJun 09, 2015 21:34:38 | Interestingly, the link above now redirects to a new URL and that URL is a 403 forbidden. Seems like something is there and their CMS just keeps users out until they decide to publish it. It's probably locked down for internal review. |

| #11Brock_LandersJun 10, 2015 10:35:22 | I thought there was to be no errata, just optional substitutions? |

| #19Farmer42Jun 10, 2015 14:47:27 | Am I reading the Tinned clarification right in that you can now no longer twin AoE spells or spells like Magic Missile? |
| #20iserithJun 10, 2015 14:49:41 | PH Errata is up: http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/ph_errata

| #21kikidmonkeyJun 10, 2015 15:30:40 | Well I sure am glad that Way of the Four Elements got some powers nerfed, can't let those powerhouses continue running around. |

| #23GladiusLegisJun 10, 2015 16:03:33 | So Evokers and Gold/Red Dragon Sorcerers got their Scorching Ray novas nerfed (Elemental Affinity and Empowered Evocation apply to just one damage roll now) ... but Agonizing Blast remains completely untouched. Pfffffffffffffft.
Also, Weird and Phantasmal Killer are actually functional. Woo. (Which means Weird is now only just a waste of a 9th-level slot instead of a stinky massive epic fail of a waste of a 9th-level slot. It'd probably be OK as a 5th-level or thereabouts, though.) |
| #24BoldItalicJun 10, 2015 15:54:02 | I might buy a 2nd printing of the PHB when it appears in the wild. The pages are starting to fall out of this one |
| #25GladiusLegisJun 10, 2015 16:24:31 | Oooooooh, big one: Since unarmed strikes no longer count as weapons, that REALLY messes up Monks, who now need a weapon to use Stunning Strike. Ouch.
Battle Master maneuvers and Paladin's smites/smite spells don't work with unarmed attacks anymore, either. |
| #26melloredJun 10, 2015 16:45:57 | odd they didn't fix simulacrum. |

| #30Nesian42RyukaielJun 10, 2015 17:39:28 | What's wrong with the Basic Rules player's side? The file size is seriously messed up... (almost 50MB...) |
| #31pukunuiJun 10, 2015 17:40:43 | Also: "@pukunui81 Unarmed strikes never should have appeared as weapons, hence the correction. The monk is barely affected." |
| #32mrpopstarJun 10, 2015 17:52:05 | The Reach property clarification complicates my brain's ability to nail gridless combat. I wish it only applied when attacking; like the Two-Handed property.
That's my only gripe.

| #34CCSJun 10, 2015 18:53:03 | As usual any errata given by the company will be taken with at least a grain or three of salt in the groups I play with. |

|
| #37guachiJun 10, 2015 20:22:55 | There will be weapons that aren't simple or martial? |

| #41moonbeastJun 10, 2015 21:14:29 | Well I was planning to buy a second hardcopy of the 5e PHB. How am I suppoed to tell if I am ordering/buying the Errata edition? Do the books say somewhere like "Second Printing" or "Revised 2015 Edition"?
|
| #42kalilJun 10, 2015 21:46:40 | Where are you guys getting the information that they will put these errata into the printed version? |

| #48JohnLynchJun 10, 2015 23:14:54 | Nothing ground breaking here. It all seems to be common sense rulings with a couple of "that seemed to good" benefits cut down. I'll be happy to continue DMing without regard to this errata, applying common sense rulings instead. If any of the nerfs actually become a problem in my game then I've got a suggested way in which to tone them down. Glad to see there weren't any "OMG we really need to fix this" stuff (ala 0 day errata for the Pathfinder Paladin and the 0 day errata for DCs in 4th edition). Looks like all that extra work paid off.
I will be applying the slight boosts to the beast companion though. |

| #55Rya.ReisenderJun 11, 2015 5:19:09 | Is it really that much of a problem when some of your players have an older PHB version? They can all just print out the errata page and place it inside their outdated PHBs.

| #57ArithezooJun 11, 2015 6:07:09 | So as far as I can tell, the clarification that unarmed strikes aren't weapons is just to prevent you from using spells like Magic Weapon. Though, honestly, I don't see the harm.
As clarified by Jeremy Crawford, the monk can certainly still use Stunning Strike. Likewise, all of the Battle Master maneuvers say "weapon attack" or "melee weapon attack", meaning that they too would work with unarmed strikes.
I also just noticed that Parry and Riposte say, "melee attack" rather than "melee weapon attack", meaning that they would work against melee spell attacks. |

Those are all improvised weapons. Tavern Brawler gives you proficiency with them. |

| #96Brock_LandersJun 17, 2015 11:45:53 |
|
| #97DemoMonkeyJun 17, 2015 12:34:34 | It doesn't have to be "either/or" on how the errata timing was planned. It's perfectly reasonable to assume the conversation went something like this:
Q: When should we release errata?
A: How about a year from now? That will give us time to get feedback, take another pass at the rules, and also let most of the first print run sell through.
... You may now continue to divide into armed camps and argue about the correct number of stars on thars. |
