Why don't we begin a PHB inconsistency spotting thread?
« on: June 16, 2008, 03:56:11 AM »
I'd start with the Warlock Frigid Darkness Encounter power. Quoting the "hit" section:

Quote
Hit: 2d8 + Constitution modifier cold damage, and the target
grants combat advantage to all of your enemies until
the end of your next turn.

So I'm envisioning the following scene:

Bob the Warlock: So I hit the BBEG with Frigid Darkness for 15 damage.
Ted the Rogue: Sweet! Now he's granting me combat advantage!
Bob: I'm sorry you feel that way.
Ted: Why's that?
Bob: Because Frigid Darkness only makes the guy grant combat advantage to my -enemies-. That means I gotta kill you now.
Ted: WTF?!

Since any number of heads is better than one, I imagine we can spot those a lot quicker.

There maybe errata's but you must admit - funny. I wish I thought of something like this for 3.0, they were bad for it  :smirk

Enworld already has a thread compiling existing errors in the PHB.

http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=229723

So I don't think we need to go through the trouble of collecting redundant info, though if you do find something not covered already, it is always welcome. :)

We don't have one such thread here, or even a link to ENworld's for that matter. It may be a bit redundant, but there's a lot of info here that's already at Gleemax, what's stopping us?
