For another game, I'm glad I got to read the errata, because there's a LOT of
stuff that got errata'd for my wizard character. I think the Arcane Power book
saw the most errata in that update. For one, an almost insanely powerful
Illusion power, Illusory Wall is now a Daily Utility Power instead of an
Encounter Utility Power. I'm pretty sure it was always meant to be a Daily from
the start and it was just a typo in the book because it's one annoying spell
otherwise. Also, they thankfully added the "Implement" keyword to it, so now
it's no longer just straight INT vs Will. That was nice of them.
Another change was something that completely went over my head until I read it.
With the Book Imp Arcane Familiar, the original language you got to speak and
read just for having it was Infernal. This is a big "oops!" because apparently
there IS NO Infernal language in 4th Ed. It should have read "Supernal" not
"Infernal. Infernal, or the speech of demons and devils, is actually now lumped
in with Supernal in 4th Ed, which actually makes the Book Imp BETTER since it
allows you to speak to all outsiders in general. I probably never would have
caught that one on my own.

Well, this messes with Tartarus's stuff as well, his main focus is
marking, not damage, but, bah. I probably will not rebuild him, the
update is strange, but he can still do what he needs to. What a very
strange, and highly frustrating errata.
I am not rebuilding Berrian either... but I have asked Casey for
ermission to retroactively get rid of the double sword.
