Player's Handbook & Monster Manual Errata
04/01/2008D&D Archive
 Before introducing 4th Edition, the members of the errata group
thought it important to correct several fundamental issues that have
caused ongoing problems in 3rd Edition. This final 3rd Edition errata
document attempts to rectify those problems and also aims to increase
accessibility to new players unfamiliar with Dungeons & Dragons but
who are familiar with other games and cultural phenomena.

Player's Handbook
Page 5 - Dice [Substitution]
Replace all text with "Unlike many games, Dungeons & Dragons does not
use dice. Instead, it employs a core mechanic of paper-rock-scissors.

1d6+1), instead play a game of paper-rock-scissors with your DM to
determine the outcome."
Page 7-8 - Ability Scores [Revision/Deletion]

(3d6)" and delete second sentence. Also, remove all text on page 8
under the "Rerolling" header.

131 of the Monster Manual... where the gnome belongs. (It was

Page 108 - Deities [Substitution]
Replace "Yondalla" with "Meepo." Text should read:
I am the god of being the best, because I am. Kobolds and anyone else
who's awesome worships me. I'm associated with the domains of Best,
Great, and Awesome, and my favored weapon is kicking butt, just like I
did to all the errata committee who wouldn't let me be a god. Ah!

Names like "Lawful Good" and "Chaotic Neutral" are so generic and

Lawful Neutral: Adama
Neutral: Unaligned (you're still boring)
Chaotic Neutral: Jayne
Lawful Evil: Vader

"Batman alignment".

decision to grapple. If you still wish to grapple after the other
