It says on this site: "Errata for the Players Handbook, first released in Jun 1978. Unlike the errata for the Dungeon Masters Guide, which were incorporated into the "Revised Edition" of Dec 1979, the Players Handbook changes were never published in any print."   This is inaccurate, as I checked every correction or addition against my copy when I printed them in the correct font to stick in the back of my book. The Players Handbook certainly had some corrections after Dragon #35 because the following items are corrected/included in my copy:  Correction 38A  Correction 38B  Addition 87A  I have a 7th print from, I assume, late 1980.  I DOUBLE checked this before posting.  Can anybody else back me on this?


There is no edition but first.

 All I know is that I have an 11th printing of the revised cover PHB and it still claims that monks attack as thieves.

Hey gentlemen, what's the deal?  Am I high, or do I have something here?  Once again:

To be honest Jacobite, some of us don't have the time to check their PHBs for the errata and changes made to it. You need to know many have their collections put away and don't have it right in front of them.  Hold your horses and someone will answer your question eventually. Adam, len, lawrenson, adrian, etc anyone wanna help this fellow out? This is a important question for him.

Sorry,  :oops:  but it is a point of contention elsewhere.  You might say I got five bucks riding on it.  No rush really, I guess.

jacobite1688,  Ok, I checked my copies of the PHB and here's what I found: the following changes had been incorporated into my 7th, 8th and 9th print copies (I also checked the errors against a couple of 3rd prints to verify the changes):  15A 38A 38B 87A  The first three changes are in tables, which seems to make sense since intermittent shading was added to the tables of the PHB by the 7th printing - although it doesn't explain why correction 11C wasn't incorporated since it also occurs in a table. It also doesn't explain why 87A (one of two corrections of spell components) was incorporated.  So, first, let Scott know about this (in case he doesn't already) so he can update the PHB page, and second - go collect your $5.  Also, unlike some on this forum, I actually think the Acaeum's value resides in exactly this kind of information and it does the Acaeum staff a service for others here to help verify this type of information. But hey, that's just my opinion.  - Rene

These corrections have been made to the PHB Errata page; it will appear in the next update.  If anyone here has Fourth or Fifth print PHB's, you can help us narrow down in which of these prints the errors were corrected.
