I'm really disappointed with the latest errata for the Core Rulebook. After 10 months of long wait, all we get are 2 pages of errata. What happened to all the dozen other errors that had been reported on these forums and confirmed as errors? Why haven't they been corrected? I'm talking about things like the footnotes in the Perception skill table, which are completely wrong. Also the contradictions in the invisibility table and the spell description regarding the modifiers used haven't been dealt with. These are just 2 examples out of several dozens.

Are these going to be dealt with and fixed?


So I summon a celestial dog. Can I tell it who to attack or where to go or what to do? According to the summon monster spell description it seems that I can't as I don't have a way to communicate with him. Is that right? So it just attacks and does whatever it wants?

Also what about Handle Animal skill. Can that help me? And what about spells like Speak with Animals? If I can someone get a scroll / potion with that effect, that should help, right?


How do I calculate the CR of a monster with an existing NPC class if I add more levels of that class? For example, if I add 1 or 2 extra levels of warrior to a goblin, what would be the CR of the goblin?


The sewer goblin (Bastards of Erebus page 22) seems to have some wrong stats:

1. Its initiative is only +1, but it has a Dex of 16, which should give it an initiative of +3

2. Its attack bonus is -6. The dogslicer is a light weapon and the sewer goblin has Two-Weapon Fighting Feat. This means he should have -2 on each of the two attacks. However, since the dogslicers are broken (-2 penalty) it should be reduced to -4 on each attack, but not to -6.

Am I right?
