paizo.com - Dragon / Messageboards / Dragon Compendium / Confused by Errata for Dragons; Question about Ice Demons

Bellona, Tue, Aug 25, 2009, 10:42 AM

I've gone through the errata for the Dragon Compendium and have also taken a look at a couple of "error-finding" pages, but I'm still puzzled about the errata's changes to the orange, purple, and yellow dragons' breath weapons. I also have a question about the ice demon's ice blade attack.

Have the dragons' breath weapons been "nerfed" to only doing damage (and disregarding secondary and/or alternative effects)? Or am I misunderstanding the errata?

Why are the ice demon's two-weapon attack bonuses (with its ice blades) identical? Shouldn't the second weapon's attack bonus be at a lower value because it's the off-hand? Or am I missing something obvious here?

Some (hopefully official) answers would be appreciated, as these particular monsters could star in an upcoming adventure for my players.

(Apologies for cross-posting this between two threads, but I wasn't sure that I'd get an answer on the other one.)

I replied in the other thread where you asked. Granted, I'm not an official response, but I did explain it anyway.
