Hello all! What methods do you guys use to handle the errata of the various rulebooks?

I have been torn the past few days on whether or not to switch to PDF and take advantage of the loooooow $9.99 prices of the hardbacks' PDFs, and thereby ALWAYS have the most current "printings" at my disposal.

That having been said, I don't know if I am ready to give up the aesthetic/tactile feel of hefting an actual tome in my hand and being able to flip through the pages of a physical copy. Plus, I don't have hundreds of dollars to invest in a tablet to make the PDFs truly portable (nor do I wish to have to hunt for an electrical outlet to plug my "books" into if I should take my big 'ol laptop to a session).

So, how to best handle errata? One idea I had was to take and fold a printout of the most recent errata for a given book and make a small pencil mark next to each page number of the relevant pages in my hardback, so that when I get to that page in my reading, I know to pull the folded print-out I've tucked into the front cover for referencing.

I guess I was just wondering if anyone else used such a method or if there were any other ideas? I read somewhere on the Savage Worlds forums about a guy who used some sort of SUPER-fine-tipped marker or pen and actually wrote-in the corrections where they would go. Two problems with this, however: I have no idea what pen or marker would be the best for the type of semi-gloss paper Paizo uses, and... some of the errata from the printouts would require penning an entire paragraph or more!

Advice? Suggestions? Practicalities? Thanks in advance!

Hi guys, I’m a complete newbie at 3.5 and have a question about multiclassing which I hope hasn’t been asked a dozen times already. In the new hardcover core rulebook, the multiclassing section of the “Classes” chapter states:

“He adds all of the hit points, base attack bonuses, and saving throw bonuses from a 1st-level wizard on top of those gained from being a 5th-level fighter.”

My confusion is this: I assumed, from looking at the class advancement charts, that base attack bonuses and saving throws were set at the specific level and did not “add”. For example, looking at the fighter, it says that the 1st level base attack bonus is +1 and the 2nd level B.A.B. is +2. I just assumed that this meant that the B.A.B. becomes +2 at 2nd level, NOT that you add the +2 to the +1 for a 2nd level B.A.B. of +3.

Am I reading the progression charts wrong? According to the multiclassing rules, you add these bonuses together from level to level.
