We have cut words that shouldn’t be there, added some that should have been there, and clarified some rules. The corrections in the new printings of the MM and the DMG are of that sort.
It’s normal in publishing to correct typos, omissions, and misstatements in later printings of a book. The tremendous popularity of the books has made it possible for us to reprint and correct them. Some errors slipped into the books, and we’ve fixed them in their most recent printings. Now we’re releasing similar documents for the Monster Manual and the Dungeon Master’s Guide. If you have questions for a future installment of Sage Advice, please send them to or reach me on Twitter where I answer questions between installments of this column.Įarlier this year, we released the Player’s Handbook errata document to correct and clarify some things in that book. Despite its official status, Sage Advice doesn’t trump the rulings of a Dungeon Master the answers and information provided here are meant to assist a DM in adjudicating the game. Sometimes it also provides reference documents to help your D&D game run smoothly.
Sage Advice is a monthly column that gives official clarifications of D&D rules.
