Nov 20, 2018 D&D: Errata Comes To 5th Edition – Here’s The Big Changes. Zambrano November 20, 2018. Coinciding with the release of a gorgeous new gift set, D&D had a major batch of errata/clarifications this past weekend–here’s how it all shakes out. Yes, but they definitely shouldn't. Aura of protection is hardly 5e D&D's most glamorous ability, but gameplay shows it be one of the most powerful tools in the game (.as if the paladin doesn't have enough of those already, with the insanely overpowered (IMHO) divine smite and lay on hands). One aura of protection already. Addressing a nuance in the PH errata: the rule lets melee weapon attacks use unarmed strikes, despite those strikes not being weapons. — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) June 10, 2015 @Arksorn1Is intent that monk stunning strike which req “hitwith a melee weapon attack” will not work with unarmed strike? You can make a melee weapon attack with an unarmed strike, so a monk can use. At this time (January 2015), 5e designer Jeremy Crawford is the official source for errata and rules clarifications. Crawford and Perkins have tweeted about an official FAQ (initially slated for Fall 2014 release) and an upcoming 5e rules column on the Wizards website, although neither has materialized.
@JeremyECrawford Are Potions of Healing Magic or Mundane items in terms of 5e crafting?

A potion of healing is magical. See the first sentence of its description (PH, 153). #DnDhttps://t.co/2615ihJoDK
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 6, 2016
@Mazoshi1987But that means only casters can create them even though phb states you can make them with a herbalist kit? I'm curious, where do you interpret the PH saying that an herbalism kit gives you the ability to make a potion of healing?
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 6, 2016
@perception101@Mazoshi1987but I guess you’re going to say, required, but not sufficient – which clears up a LOT of confusion 🙂 Bingo. The kit is required but not sufficient.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 6, 2016
@perception101@Mazoshi1987 Cool, thanks. Funny what you can read into a single sentence (along with half of reddit it seems). There are many phantom rules on the loose online.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 6, 2016
@perception101@Mazoshi1987aye, but the flipside is we can now clear stuff up in real time! Appreciate you taking the time for this. My pleasure!

@JeremyECrawford WAit, shit, I just got around to checking the DMG. Kinda sad that Healing Potions are always made at a loss.

As of the DMG errata, potions and other consumable magic items cost half as much to make: https://t.co/kuNYh24QEY#DnDhttps://t.co/8BE2q1RBfJ

Dungeon Masters Guide by Gary Gygax
After more than two years since tantalizing players with the AD&D Monster Manual, Gygax finished work on his most impressive project, the Dungeon Masters Guide. Oft-criticized for its complicated rules and wordiness, the DMs Guide nevertheless has held up remarkably well over time, and is an impressive milestone in role-playing-game history.
| Printing Information |
5e Errata 2018
The Dungeon Masters Guide lacks printing information on the copyright page, at least up until 1985. Much of what we have learned has been through extensive detective work; special thanks to Paul Stormberg for divining much of the information below. Thanks also Jim Fetzner, Paul Hennz, Rudy Hess, Oliver Rathbone, Bruce Robertson, and Jean-Philippe Suter for their contributions.
Because it is very difficult to determine what printing you have, you may find this flowchart easier to follow.
Dmg 5e Errata Printable
First (Aug 1979)
Wizard logo
Cover art is of three adventurers fighting a large efreet
Flyleaves and endpapers are a yellow-orange color
'ADVANCED D&D' in the angled yellow banner is too large, and the 'D' of 'ADVANCED' partially runs off the cover
Wizard logo and TSR address appear on spine
No ISBN on spine, back cover, or title page
Textblock is stitched 5/8' apart
Spine inlay is yellow and red striped fabric
232 numbered pages
This designation refutes Harold Johnson in Collectable Toys and Values (Meyer 1994) and 'The Story of TSR' in the Silver Anniversary Collector's Set (1999). Both of these sources indicate that the Second Print Alpha, below, is the first print run. The full argument suggesting this print to be the First print may be found here.
Estimated print run is 40,000
This print was first available at GenCon XII (August 16-19, 1979)
Thanks to Hugh Marbach for the scan
Second Alpha (Aug 1979)
Wizard logo
Cover art is of three adventurers fighting a large efreet
Endpapers and flyleaves are a yellow-orange color
'ADVANCED D&D' in the angled yellow banner has been downsized, and no longer has the 'D' of 'ADVANCED' running off the edge of the cover
Wizard logo and TSR address appear on spine
No ISBN on spine, back cover, or title page
Textblock is now stitched 1' apart, on this an all subsequent prints (up to and including the Eighth print)
Spine inlay is no longer yellow and red striped fabric, on this and all subsequent prints
232 numbered pages
According to Harold Johnson in Collectable Toys and Values and 'The Story of TSR' in the Silver Anniversary Collector's Set, this print had sixteen pages of the Monster Manual (Fourth Print) mistakenly bound within. Johnson relates in his interview that copies of this print went out to retailers via outer shipping. Once the error was detected, the books were recalled, the covers were removed, the correct pages were inserted, and the books were rebound with the old covers (see Second Print Beta below). However, at least a few copies were purchased by customers before the recall and remain in circulation. The pages for the DMG were apparently printed 16 to a sheet (8 on the front and 8 on the back), known as a signature, then cut to be bound in the book. In this case, the printer printed one side of the sheet with the DMG pages and the other with the Monster Manual pages. When they were cut and bound, alternating pairs of facing pages were thus either DMG or MM pages. The MM pages were also placed in their technically correct position in the book -- the page numbers were the correct MM page numbers, replacing the page of the same number in the DMG. The specific pages that contained Monster Manual data were: 98/99 (facing pages), 102/103 (facing pages), 106/107 (facing pages), and 110/111 (facing pages), for a total of 8 MM pages. As a result (of this, as well as the issue with the Third Print Alpha below), there was a severe supply shortage of the Dungeon Masters Guide in those early months
A very rare DMG print. Only a few of these copies with Monster Manual pages managed to escape the recall
Second Beta (Aug-Sept 1979)
Recalled and rebound printing. As above, but MM pages were replaced by newly printed DMG pages and the books were rebound with the same covers. This print is recognizable by examining the endpapers -- the old endpapers are pasted over with the new endpapers. Also the textblock may have been stapled (three big staples) or re-stitched too far into the textblock during rebinding, leaving the gutter between pages too small or non-existent. Some text disappears into the gutter as a result. Also the new 16-page signatures were cut oddly and some page numbers are very close to the bottom edge of the page, with the text on those pages at a slight angle (quick check: page 99)
This print is otherwise identical to the Second Print Alpha, above
Third Alpha (Sept-Nov 1979)
The third print run (again, 40,000 copies), printed just two weeks after the Second Print, had the cover of every other book deeply scored across the front cover by a loose wire on the boxing machine. This run was recalled, the good books sorted out and shipped, and the scarred covers replaced (confirmation needed)
Third Print Alpha is the unscarred book that was shipped out. There should be about 20,000 of these in circulation
Wizard logo
Cover art is of three adventurers fighting a large efreet
Endpapers and flyleaves are a yellow-orange color
'ADVANCED D&D' in the angled yellow banner has been downsized, and no longer has the 'D' of 'ADVANCED' running off the edge of the cover
Wizard logo and TSR address appear on spine
No ISBN on spine, back cover, or title page
232 numbered pages
You can distinguish this print from the Second Prints, above, by looking for two factors: no Monster Manual pages within, and no pasted-over endpapers
Third Beta (Sept-Nov 1979)
Third Print Beta is the scarred book that escaped the recall (confirmation needed; no specimens of this print have yet been spotted)
Other than the scar mark on the front cover, this print is otherwise identical to the Third Print Alpha, above
Third Gamma (Sept-Nov 1979)
Third Print Gamma is the scarred book that was recalled and the cover was replaced. This print is recognizable by examining the endpapers. The old endpapers are pasted over with the new endpapers. The holes from the previous binding are visible
The only discernable difference between this print and the Second Beta, above, is page 99: the text here is not at an angle
This print is otherwise identical to the Third Print Alpha, above
Fourth (Sept-Dec 1979)
Endpapers and flyleaves are white
This print is otherwise identical to the Third Print Alpha, above
Fifth (Sept-Dec 1979)
Wizard logo

ISBN now appears on spine and lower left corner of back cover
232 numbered pages
Sixth Alpha (Dec 1979) (Revised Edition)
Wizard logo
Cover art is of three adventurers fighting a large efreet
Endpapers and flyleaves are a yellow-orange color
'ADVANCED D&D' in the angled yellow banner has been downsized, and no longer has the 'D' of 'ADVANCED' running off the edge of the cover

Adds text, errata, Appendices O and P, product catalog, reference sheets, and survey form. Reference sheets are perforated
Removes Todd Oleck artwork (pg. 40 of 5th and earlier prints) and Dave Sutherland artwork (pg. 119 of 5th and earlier prints), presumably to accommodate the new layout. Some artwork is also resized and moved
238 numbered pages
Sixth Beta (1980)
Endpapers and flyleaves are white
Has a survey form, and reference sheets are perforated
238 numbered pages
This print is otherwise identical to the Sixth Alpha print, above
Sixth Gamma (1980)
Endpapers and flyleaves are white
The text on the spine is aligned to the 'bottom' of the spine, rather than being centered. This is possibly due to the printer using a slightly thinner cover and/or page stock, resulting in a thinner overall book
No survey form, and reference sheets are NOT perforated
236 numbered pages
This print is otherwise identical to the Sixth Alpha print, above
Seventh(1981)
TSR Face logo
Cover art is of three adventurers fighting a large efreet

Eighth (1983)
Cover art is updated, in line with the other AD&D manuals; depicts a DM opening a pair of large doors
Orange spine
Copyright page still states 'Revised Edition, Dec 1979', and still describes the rear cover artwork as depicting the City of Brass
We've had to 'squish' the previous printings into several Alpha/Beta/Gamma prints so as not to collide with the actual print numbers that began to appear on the copyright page around 1985. Yes, it's a mess. Blame TSR -- there were far more than ten actual prints of the DMG by 1987!
Printing info most likely began to be added to the copyright page around 1985; discoveries of print info lower than 9th will throw our sequence above into chaos. :) The 9th printing was in August 1987, 10th printing was in 1987, the 11th printing was in April 1988, the 12th printing was in November 1988, the 13th printing was in July 1989, and the 14th printing was in July 1990. The description on the copyright page of the rear-cover artwork was never corrected. (Thanks to Michael Deaton and Gordon Richards for help with this info).

D&d Errata
First prints are reasonably scarce, but by no means 'rare' -- a Second Alpha print, with the Monster Manual pages inside, is much rarer.
