I just recieved the new errated PHB and I noticed a typo. On page 195 under shoving a creature it discusses which checks you can make in order to push a creature. The orginal PHB states a creature can make a strength check or dex check to avoid being shoved. In the new book however the option to make a dex check gets cut off, moving to pg. 196.

It seems to be okay in the Basic PDF V0.3, which presumeably uses the same text source.

 

Interesting to know that the 2nd printing of the PHB is out in the wild now.

Not sure. For some reason that part just got cut out, moving to the next pg.

Typographical errors usually describe misspelled words.

 

What you describe sounds like formatting (and it doesn't sound like much of an error).

According to today's Sage Advice Roundup, there is a third printing of the Player's Handbook.

Glad I waited now that the 3rd printing is being released, (although I suspect that since a small number of 2nd printings got released they'll become collectors items). I'll probably wait a month before picking up on amazon.

The 2nd printing you guys are talking about is just when they ran out of the 1st printing right? The third printing is the 2nd edition with errata?

I don't think anyone knows for sure.  Someone else told me there as been 6 printings.   My guess is Crawford isnt' being precise between 'printing' and 'edition' and 'revision'. 

 

While I have also read of a third printing, I am guessing he really means revision, and there is no sense of when that will actually be available.
