I'm sorry, I tought that errata was meant to improve the game's balance. Like when time stop was errata'd to don't work with persistent spell.
Specially considering that we're in the homebrew section and stuff.
Really, I could swear such rules arguments was for the min/max forums.
After all, in the ToB section here the actual rules were throw out of the window and the people decided what they tought was fairer, like nerfing WRT and improving the swordsage.
Errata isn't supposed to balance things, it's supposed to reword it so it works. The fact that I've done both is a sign that I'm not WotC-approved for this job, and have included a dose of my own opinion into this project.
That nerf to WRT is a piece of my own opinion, coupled with some support from the others who are actually providing feedback. Produce a strong enough argument that supports WRTing yourself and I'll run it through everyone else who wants to provide some feedback, and then alter the errata.
And no, "Melees and nice things" is not a strong enough argument for WRT abuse. In all honesty, if I wanted to repurpose the errata to provide my own house rules for the Bo9S, I'd have put WRT more in line with the Snake's Swiftness spell and other White Raven maneuvers that grant extra actions instead of letting it grant entire extra turns.
If you have any further criticism of the work in progress, please chime in and post your opinion so we can all see it instead of pointing out that you disagree with something included in the "errata".

[spoiler]Really, calling this an "errata" is a flat-out lie. We have no input from the creators of the book whatsoever, no permission from WotC, and this entire thing is largely three people reading through the book and pointing stuff out that doesn't work, while another person writes down an opinion of what he thinks those things should do or how things should work.
I actually have no right to call this an errata project seeing as so much of this is my personal opinion of what those abilities should say The changes to the Crusader's and Warblade's stance progressions, for example, is largely an opinion that I happen to agree with. Or the majority of changes I made to Stone Dragon (specifically, the parts about the Mountain Hammer line being compatible with Sunder attempts).
Seriously, I'm unqualified and unauthorized. I'm only writing the "errata" because I feel obligated to contribute to this project and because no one else took the helm.[/spoiler]
PS: Be specific when you have a problem with something in this project. I mean actually pointing out what you think needs to be changed, and how it should be changed (in your opinion). Just remember that this entire thing is unofficial. It's not like WotC is going to look at it and shake your hand for anything posted in this section.
Edit: With regards to Psicrystals and feats, the only things we have to go off of are the opinions of CustServ/The FAQ/The Sage and what's written in the books.
I'm not going to lie: If I have to choose between buffing an ability or nerfing it, I'm going to take my personal opinion of that ability into account. For something like the Psicrystal feat problem, I feel that my opinion of it isn't strong enough to validate a change to the mechanics. That's why I brought up Lycan: He's pretty much the resident expert on Psionics and has a very respected opinion when it comes to that subject. I'd consider his opinion more valuable than the rulings of CustServ or the FAQ.
That said, I feel that the Psicrystals should not be allowed to take Leadership. Such a change, however, is a pure house rule. I know that I've included those in the Bo9S "errata" (especially the Stone Dragon/White Raven parts), but that kind of a change [to Psicrystals] is far more polarizing than allowing Mountain Hammer to be used as a Sunder Attempt, or nerfing WRT so it can't hit the initiator.
Such polarizing changes hurt the image of this project, and people will be more likely to dismiss the efforts we put into this just as easily as they dismiss CustServ. I want to avoid that with this project.
