We don't play with a lot of books at our table, but I plan on having that one handy for sure. Majoru Oakheart said:.
Not really. By FAR the vast majority of errata is to specific feats, powers, class features, and items. None of those things are in the Rules Compendium. There's actually very few changes to the general rules of the game. TerraDave 5ever, or until TerraDave said:. I could see if you are not using mounted combat or flying much, but conditions, skills?

This Collector's Guide had the benefit of being developed during the 4th Edition release cycle, so more of the promotional items are cataloged here than in some of the other Collector's Guides. There are some items released between and not listed in this Guide. With so many new races and classes, it's not surprising that some classics got dropped. The gnome and half-orc were the most notable omissions from the race list, while the assassin, bard, and druid were all classics that were missing from the class list.
Many more races and classes would appear in the years to come. About the Creators. He quickly moved on to contribute to Atlas Games, then to work for Chaosium.

However, lead designer Rob Heinsoo has also detailed a number of subsidiary goals intended to push the game in that direction: Expanding the Sweet Spot.
They wanted to make the game more fun at all levels. All Classes Must Rock. The design team wanted to ensure that everyone was important. Powers for Everyone. The design team decided to equalize the classes by giving everyone powers, not just spell-casters.
Character Roles. Finally, the design team decided to introduce class roles, which would better define what the different classes could do. In some ways, this was a back-to-basics decisions. However, as character classes proliferated in later editions, it became less clear which classes could fill which roles.
These powers had a number of repercussions. Universal powers meant that fighters and rogues could now do cool and different things every round, just like spell-casters always did. At-will and encounter powers meanwhile moved spell-casters away from the idea of "Vancian" spell casting, where spells were memorized and then forgotten every day. The proliferation of at-will and encounter powers also solved a problem that the designers had talked about frequently in interviews and design diaries: "the fifteen-minute work day".
No longer would characters enter a dungeon, move through a couple of rooms, then flee to recover their spells. Instead, characters could make epic charges through a dungeon, like you might expect in a legend or novel. Meanwhile, daily powers ensured that some resources were still limited. Saving throws were also changed to become targets like armor class , rather than something requiring an additional roll The mechanics of the new game were also more focused on combat than in previous editions.
The biggest complaints which were often seen as total gospel by 3e fans and absolute silliness by 4e players were: 4e was too combat oriented. This focused on the combat emphasis of the mechanics, ignoring skill challenges and the fact that game masters could easily introduce roleplaying without the need for mechanics 4e was an MMORPG.
This repeated the complaints about 4e's combat focus, but also claimed that its roles were a carry-over from MMORPGs, ignoring the use of traditional class-roles as far back as Characters were all the same. This focused on the unification of character powers and progression, and was certainly a matter of preference, though the design team's goals showed many of the advantages of this methodology.

This is where powers like Blade Cascade got tightened up. I think this is important as well. In the case of the 4e Errata, most of the errata contains a sentence or two to clarify the thinking behind it. For example check out why Careful Strike gets a damage bonus.. This is good commentary,.
On monsters in particular: the monsters in Monster Manual 3 are built with different guidelines than older monsters. You don't have to go back and change old monsters; if you want to, the really simple method is as follows:.
In terms of needs I think the game would have been pretty decent without most of the changes. The monster changes are good ones, and the new skill check difficulty numbers are important. You could get the same effect we've gotten from all the power errata by saying "OK, if you guys see anything that's really obviously overpowered, let's talk about it and maybe not abuse it.
Unlike the overhaul WotC did from 3. Very few major changes have taken place. In fact, almost all of the changes have been very small tweaks to individual powers or magic items. Thankfully, because of the character builder, it's fairly easy to stay on top of these changes.
