These posts summarize the Pathfinder Core Rulebook errata as identified by fans. I plan to re-post this every couple of months in an effort to eventually get all matters resolved (either via Paizo Staff comments or through a newly updated official errata.).
I have tried to only post true errata and not game rule disputes or rules suggests (except when they pertain to significant clarity concerns or potential ommissions).
In an effort to reduce multiple errata thread discussions, please post any errata on Wraith's errata thread:
(Remember - "copy" and "paste" are your friends!)

Uncanny Dodge / Invisibility / Flat-footed confusion: ((The following is the summary of the preceding forum link)): The d20 SRD description is MUCH clearer--an Uncanny Dodger cannot lose her Dex bonus to being flat footed AND, as a separate benefit, does not lose her Dex bonus to AC if attacked by an invisible opponent. The Pathfinder rules inexplicably smashes the two together. We see from what Twowlves quoted that being flat-footed and losing your Dex bonus to AC to an invisible attacker are still two different thing--and I think it's reasonable to extrapolate from the rules that losing your Dex bonus to AC due to being attacked by an invisible opponent supercedes flat-footedness--a fighter in the midst of combat will not be flat-footed, but will still lose the Dex bonus to AC if attacked by someone who is invisible. We have two choices that I can see: go with the clearer 3.5 wording (Uncanny Dodgers cannot lose the Dex to AC to an invisible attacker IN ADDITION TO never being caught flat-footed), or assume that they meant to change the rule (Uncanny Dodgers DO lose their Dex to AC from an invisible attacker, not because they are flat-footed, but because of the separate effects of the invisible condition). My guess is the Devs did want to change the rule (maybe somehow being to uncannily dodge someone you don't know is there is just a little too uncanny), but didn't reword the ability well enough. Or there was a copy-paste hiccup, who knows. ((FORUM THREAD REFERENCE: http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/paizoPublishing/pathfinder/pathfinderR PG/rules/uncannyDodgeVsInvisibleAttackers ))

Grim Spider (Oct 27/09)
The save for channel energy is based on cleric level and cha mod. The effect is determined by cleric level. The command undead feat allows a use of channel energy to create the effect of the spell control undead. Command undead allows the undead a save based on clerics caster level and cha mod. The effect of how many hit dice may be controlled is based on cleric level. It seems that there is an inconsistancy with the save DC for the feat command undead being based on caster level instead of cleric level. Page 40 - Channel Energy: ""The DC of this save is equal to 10 + 1/2 the cleric's level + the cleric's Charisma modifier."" Page 120 - Command Undead: ""The DC for this Will save is equal to 10 + 1/2 your caster level + your Charisma modifier. You can control any number of undead, so long as their total Hit Dice do not exceed your cleric level."" ((Even the last sentence mentions 'cleric level', where-as the preceding sentence mentions 'caster level'. Turn Undead feat also mentions 'cleric level'))

Artifice Domain - Dancing Weapons: This indicates the duration to be 4 rounds, where-as all the other 8th level domain abilities that bestow special weapon properties are based on 1 round per 1/2 cleric level. I suspect this is an error, so I thought I should mention it.

Majuba (Oct 26/09)
Community Domain: the domain spell list is the one from 3.0, not 3.5. In 3.5 the spell Status went from 4th level to 2nd level (normally), and in the Community domain it moved from 4th to 2nd (displacing Shield Other), with ""Status, Greater"" taking the 4th place slot. It may not be an error to omit that spell, as greater status is very powerful - allowing certain spells up to 2nd level (including cures) to be cast through the link, with no range limit. However Status (2nd level) should *not* be a 4th level domain spell - that makes no sense at all.

Destruction Domain - Destructive Aura: This power states: ""At 8th level, you can emit a 30-foot aura of destruction for a number of rounds per day equal to your cleric level. All attacks made against targets in this aura (including you) gain a morale bonus on damage equal to 1/2 your cleric level and all critical threats are..."". I find the phrase ""all attacks made against targets in the aura"" to be quite confusing. ((Does the cleric choose who the targets are, or is everyone inside the aura a target? Does the mention of ""and you"" mean that you also gain the benefits, or that the cleric is also a target? Can people outside, use ranged attacks on the ""targets"" inside the aura and gain the benefit? Some clarification is definately needed.))

Luck Domain - Good Fortune: There is no action indicated for this ability, which would then default it to a Standard action, however I believe its design was based on an Immediate action. Note: ""Any one roll"" is not well defined. Since it doesn't refer to just re-rolling a single die, I then take it any roll (even those that involve multiple dice such as a fireball damage roll) can be rerolled? Perhaps some clarification would be in order though? I really think it meant to refer to a d20 roll?

Travel Domain - Agile Feet: This ability states: ""As a free action, you can gain increased mobility for 1 round. For the next round, you ignore all difficult terrain..."". Okay, so on the 2nd round I ignore all penalties for difficult terrain? What do I gain on the 1st round? I'm not sure what the benefit of ""increased mobility"" is supposed to provide on the 1st round? Perhaps this should just indicate: ""As a free action, for 1 round, you can ignore all penalties when moving through difficult terrain.""

Quandary (Sep 26/09)
The line about their Companion ""Bonded mounts have an Intelligence of at least 6."" is unclear. It doesn't seem like a REQUIREMENT to pick INT 6+ Companions (it doesn't say they MUST have a 6 INT, and the examples of Horses/Ponies definitely don't have 6 INT), so it would seem to be a bonus of some kind - but what kind? And how much of a bonus? Is it a 'fixed' bonus, say +4 or +5? Or is it whatever is enough to bring their base INT up to 6? How does it interact with level-based stat bumps? INT-boosting magic? A basic bit detailing what kind of bonus it is (enough to adjudicate these types of details) is all that's needed here.

There is a contradiction in the rules for making magic items. Under the section on Item Creation Feats, it says the DC of the skill/spellcraft check is 10+CL of the item, but in the back of the book in the Item Creation Rules, it says 5+CL. ((As per page 548)) I might be reading something wrong there, but it looks like a mistake (I don't have my book with me right now, however). ((NOTE: this has been posted by several people in the thread, and it was actually ""sort of"" answered by Jason Bulmahn, back in August ""I believe the Magic Items chapter is correct and the DC should be 5 + caster level, but I am still looking into the issue. Either way, this will be corrected.""))

Hogarth (May 10/10)
Also, in the description for Craft Magic Arms and Armor, it states: ""You can also mend a broken magic weapon, suit of armor, or shield if it is one that you could make. Doing so costs half the raw materials and half the time it would take to craft that item in the first place."" The wording was identical in 3.5 D&D, but the meaning of the word ""broken"" has changed in Pathfinder (in 3.5, a broken magic item is destroyed and useless, but in PFRPG a ""broken"" magic item is just damaged). So perhaps ""broken"" should be replaced by ""destroyed"" or ""broken or destroyed"" (if the intent was not to change the feat).

There are differences between first printing and second printing regarding this sentence: page 184 (from physical book, first printing - August 2009): ""Fighting Defensively as a Standard Action: You can choose to fight defensively when attacking. If you do so, you take a –4 penalty on all attacks in a round to gain a ((+2 dodge bonus)) to AC for the same round."" Page 184 (from PDF, second printing - November 2009): ""Fighting Defensively as a Standard Action: You can choose to fight defensively when attacking. If you do so, you take a –4 penalty on all attacks in a round to gain a ((+2 to AC)) for the same round."" Since the Acrobatics skill (page 90) shows the following rule on both the first and second printing: ""Special: If you have 3 or more ranks in Acrobatics, you gain a ((+3 dodge bonus)) to AC when fighting defensively instead of the usual +2, and a +6 dodge bonus to AC when taking the total defense action instead of the usual +4."" I strongly believe that ((not including ""dodge bonus"")) was an omission in the second printing of the Rules.

Doodpants (Aug 24/09)
On page 191, the last sentence of ""Recovering with Help"" says: ""He automatically regains consciousness when his hit points rise to 1 or higher."" Shouldn't that be ""0 or higher""? All previous rules consistently state that a character at 0 hit points is conscious and disabled.

Transmutation - Polymorph: ""When you cast a polymorph spell that changes you into a creature of the animal, dragon, elemental, magical beast, plant, or vermin type, all of your gear melds into your body. Items that provide constant bonuses and do not need to be activated continue to function while melded in this way (with the exception of armor bonuses, which cease to function)."" 'Shield bonuses' have been omited? (Either that, or the ""Wild"" special armor property as described on page 464 is incorrect by referencing its effects on shields: ""The wearer of a suit of armor or a shield with this ability preserves his armor bonus (and any enhancement bonus) while in a wild shape. Armor and shields with this ability usually appear to be covered in leaf patterns. While the wearer is in a wild shape, the armor cannot be seen.""
Jason Bulmahn - Jun 3/10: ""There are a lot of issues floating around here, so I am going to go back to the original and answer that one. When you wild shape, you should lose your shield bonus. I say should, because as of right now, the rules do not support this as written (although there is some wiggle room in the ""require activation"" language, in that shields must be wielded, but this is flimsy at best). I will endeavor to fix this issue in the next go around. Until then, it is GM call, but common sense (and a future correction) should indicate your direction.""

Elemental Body spells and Tremorsense: As noted in this thread, an Earth Elemental, being a creature with Burrow speed and the Earth Subtype, gains Tremorsense as a special ability (Bestiary, page 311), and so basically has no detection problems while earth-gliding. Bestiary, page 311:
""Earth Subtype: This subtype is usually used for outsiders with a connection to the Elemental Plane of Earth. Earth creatures usually have burrow speeds, and most earth creatures can burrow through solid rock. Earth creatures with a burrow speed possess tremorsense."" The problem arises with the various Elemental Body spells (and consequently Shapechange and Wild Shape), since the description of Elemental Body I says: ""Earth elemental: If the form you take is that of a Small earth elemental, you gain a +2 size bonus to your Strength and a +4 natural armor bonus. You also gain darkvision 60 feet, the push ability, and the ability to earth glide."" Not speaking of the push ability (the Bestiary Earth Elementals do not have a 'push ability' at all, only a bonus Improved Bull Rush feat), the problem is the Earth Glide abililty, which is highly hindered without any Tremorsense to allow the caster to 'see' while underground. The fact is that, since those spells do not change the type/subtype of the caster, they do not grant him the Tremorsense ability (usually gained by Earth Elementals through a combination of their Burrow speed - which the polymorphing spells grant - and their subtype - which the spells do not grant), and so we have blind Wizards/ Sorcerers/ Druids which stumble into the ground, not even sure where the 'up' and the 'down' is... Although I do not really suggest to allow a simple 'Elemental Body I' spell (or a 6th level Wild Shape) to make a character gain Tremorsense (a Druid would gain it at 6th level, too much early !, a Wizard at 7th level, and a Sorcerer at 8th level), I hope that an additional errata would allow at least the Elemental Body III to make a polymorphed caster to gain Tremorsense (Druid= 10th level, Wizard= 11th level, Sorcerer= 12th level); alternatively, allow any Elemental Body spell to gain Tremorsense, but ONLY while earth-gliding. Otherwise, a drunken Sorcerer could easily reach the molten core of the planet and kill himself without even knowing he was moving on the wrong direction !!!

Cwslyclgh (Mar 26/10)
The entangle spell uses the word ""foes"" in the first sentence and then the generic ""creatures"" through out the rest of the spell. This could read to a valid interpretation of the spell as not affecting the druid and his or her allies. If this was intended it should probably be made clearer in the remaining text of the spell, and if it was not intended the first sentence should probably be changed to 'creatures' to match the rest of the spell text.

There are some inconsistencies between the Spell Giant Form I and Giant Form II in the PRD (and maybe the actual book). Giant Form I: ""… any Large humanoid creature of the giant subtype."" vs. Giant Form II: ""any Huge creature of the giant type."" ((Should be subtype?)). Giant Form I: ""If the creature has immunity or resistance to ((any)) elements, you gain resistance 20 to those elements."" vs. Giant Form II: ""If the creature has immunity or resistance to ((one)) element, you gain that immunity or resistance.""

In 3.5, the spell ""Light"" used to say: ""This spell causes an object to glow like a torch, shedding bright light in a 20-foot radius (and dim light for an additional 20 feet) from the point you touch."" Pathfinder reworded the spell somewhat. Unfortunately, they removed the words ""from the point you touch"". So now it looks like you could make an entire castle/mountain/planet glow by casting ""Light"" on it.

Polymorph, Greater - the spell description states that it functions as polymorph except that it allows the creature to take on the form of a dragon or plant creature. Then it describes how if you use the spell to cause the target to take the form of an animal of magical beast, it works as beast shape IV. However, the polymorph spell does not allow taking the form of a magical beast, so technically, neither does polymorph, greater. The first line of the description should be changed to say that it allows the creature to take on the form of a magical beast, dragon, or plant creature.

For both raise dead and reincarnation, they state that a character brought back to life by those spells gains 2 permanent negative levels, unless they're 1st level, in which case they lose 2 points of constitution. What happens if they're 2nd level? If they gain 2 permanent negative levels, don't they then instantly die, since they have negative levels equal to their HD? I would assume that a 2nd level character brought back by one of these spells would gain 1 permanent negative level and lose 1 point of constitution, but per RAW, you shouldn't use these spells on 2nd level characters.

There are some inconsistencies between Shadow Evocation and Greater Shadow evocation in the PRD, and possibly the book as well. Shadow Evocation: ""If the disbelieved attack has a special effect other than damage, that effect is one-fifth as strong (if applicable) or only 20% likely to occur."" The above text appears to be missing from Greater Shadow Evocation, indicating that the 20% chance is the same for both spells.

So on the Summon Nature's Ally 3 list is the ""Giant Lizard"". Now in the Bestiary, I can only find one ""Giant Lizard"" and that's the Giant Frilled Lizard. I was assuming that was the right creature, until I started looking at the stats, and it seems pretty potent against the other creatures on the list. That wouldn't suprise me too much, the Ant Drone is far more powerful than it's SNA II brethren, as is the Riding Dog at SNA I. However, I am wondering if perhaps they meant the Monitor Lizard, which, although doesn't have ""Giant"" in the name at all, the abilities would fit more in line with the other SNA III creatures. Or is there supposed to be another Giant Lizard entry in the Bestiary that maybe got edited out, like the camel.
James Jacobs 12/21/09: ""Change Giant Lizard to Monitor Lizard. (The lists don't support summoning a Giant Frilled Lizard, but you could probably add them to summon monster V or summon nature's ally V.) The Giant Frilled Lizard is so much tougher than a bison or an ape because it's something that probably would HUNT bisons or apes. It'd be best to compare the giant frilled lizard ecologically wise to a tiger or bear; it's a top-tier predator.""

Shadowlord (Sep 28/09)
My question is concerning the Shadowdancer's HiPS ability vs. the Assassin's. The abilities used to read the same in 3.5 and now they don't. I am not sure if this is a mistake or intentional. Assassin says it can use stealth as long as it is within 10' of some sort of shadow. Shadowdancer says it can use stealth as long as it is within 10' of an area of dim light. Are these intentionally different now? I know many of the HiPS(EX) versions were different but I thought all versions of the (SU) ability were the same in 3.5, at least I believe this is true for the Assassin and Shadowdancer. So, which way is correct if there was in fact an error? Or are they worded precisely the way they were meant to be?

Dragon Bite: ""At 2nd level, whenever the dragon disciple uses his bloodline to grow claws, he also gains a bite attack. This natural attack is made at the dragon disciple’s full base attack bonus. The dragon disciple adds 1–1/2 times his Strength modifier on damage rolls made with his bite. Upon reaching 6th level, this bite also deals 1d6 points of energy damage. The type of damage dealt is determined by the dragon disciple’s bloodline"". It does not indicate what damage die the bite is. D4? D6? In addition since it doesn't indicate if this is a primary attack or secondary, and that it happens at full base attack bonus does that mean all 3 attacks are considered primary and that none occur at a -5 penalty? How does the bite interact with power attack for instance, since it gets 1 1/2 strength bonus, but it is not indicated whether or not it is a primary attack? ((NOTE: Although James Jacob's forum post this addresses the omission, since claw damage is specifically stated, it only seems appropriate that the bite damage should too?))
James Jacobs posted: Unless otherwise specified, a bite attack is always a primary attack. A dragon disciple's bite attack is thus a primary attack. Of course, if the dragon disciple makes an attack with a manufactured weapon, THEN his bite is treated as a secondary attack. The bite, in any event and as far as I understand things, should inflict standard bite damage for a creature of the disciple's size, as detailed on page 302 of the Bestiary. 1d6 for Medium creatures, 1d4 for Small, 1d8 for Large.

Potions: It indicates that it can duplicate the effects of a spell where the spell targets 1 or more creatures. There is no mention of objects here, and perhaps there should be. Further in the text it does indicate that ""The person applying the oil is the effective caster, but the object is the target."" I'm guessing that ""the object is the target"" is meant to infer that the above reference to creatures could also apply to an object, but I think a clarification is in order. It would also be nice, if similar to the potion creation rules, that it also indicated here that it does not duplicate a spell effects if the spell target is personal. Similarly, in the potion creature rules, it should indicate that you can duplicate the effects of a spell where the spell targets 1 or more creatures (or an object). (This saves having to look at 3 different areas of the book, when you want to use your Brew Potion feat)

Amulet of Proof against Detection and Location: The DC of the caster level check to overcome the effects of the amulet is wrong.

The 2nd to last sentence for the Nondetection spell is, ""If you cast nondetection on yourself or on an item currently in your possession, the DC is 15 + your caster level.""

Oncehawk (Aug 25/09)
The spellcasting classes list several spell-like abilities as part of the 1st level of domains/bloodlines/schools (Example: artificer's touch from the Artifice domain.) I cannot find mention of what their spell level would be for the purposes making of concentration checks.
James Jacobs - May 11/10: ""When one (be it Paizo or whoever) introduces new Spell-like abilities that don't mimic an existing spell, it's the book's responsibility to indicate what spell level that ability is. I argued for a LONG time that we should avoid creating spell-like abilities that don't mimic existing spells for pretty much this exact reason, but I obviously lost that argument. So the best way to estimate what a spell-like ability's level is if it doesn't say in the description and it doesn't mimic a spell is to just look at what level the class gets the ability at and assume it's the highest-level spell that one could cast at that level. Thus: an aberrant sorcerer gains acidic ray as a spell-like ability at 1st level, therefore that SLA is effectively a 1st level spell. The fey sorcerer gains fleeting glance at 9th level, and since the highest-level spell that sorcerer could cast is 4th at 9th level, fleeting glance is equivalent to a 4th level spell. And so on. My personal preference would be, of course, to turn all of those into Supernatural abilities.""

So this sounds like you would take a -4 to treat deadly wounds without a healers kit, or -2 if the healer's kit only has one use left.

On the creature's next turn following being hit and failing its save, it can attempt to snap out of the spell as a full-round action, but being affected by the spell in the first place prevents all actions.

The table is messed up; The paragraph above indicates that these modifiers are supposed to be to the Perception DC. But, the table heading seems to indicate that these modifiers are to the Perception roll; the fact that they're mostly penalties seems to agree with that. But if they're penalties to the roll, the values make sense. Why would you take a -20 penalty on the roll if the invisible creature is speaking? Worse, why would you take a -5 penalty on the roll if they were moving at half speed, but a -20 if they were running? That only makes sense if it were related to the DC.
It gets worse. A -20 while running, but a -40 while not moving? And then, when obstructed or far away, there are bonuses (which go back to the Perception DC). It seems to me that the maker of this chart got confused, or the conversion from the SRD didn't make sense.
Also, is the 'Some distance away' entry needed? It's the same modifier that's in the Perception skill description--is it intended that this is added twice?
Invisible Creature is... Perception DC [Base DC 20; +20 to Pinpoint]
In combat or speaking -20
Moving at half speed -5
Moving at full speed -10
Running or charging -20
Not moving +40
Using Stealth Stealth check +20 (Replaces Base DC)
Some distance away +1 per 10 feet
Behind an obstacle (door) +5
Behind an obstacle (stone wall) +15

Flurry of Blows (Ex): Starting at 1st level, a monk can make a flurry of blows as a full-attack action. When doing so he may make one additional attack using any combination of unarmed strikes or attacks with a special monk weapon (kama, nunchaku, quarterstaff, sai, shuriken, and siangham) as if using the Two-Weapon Fighting feat (even if the monk does not meet the prerequisites for the feat). For the purpose of these attacks, the monk's base attack bonus is equal to his monk level. For all other purposes, such as qualifying for a feat or a prestige class, the monk uses his normal base attack bonus.
According to the text, if you're a monk 10/prestige class 10, your base attack bonus when you use flurry of blows is going to be +10 at level 20. Not only does this cripple you on attack bonus, but it actually reduces the number of attacks that you can make in a round.
I'm guessing that this is not the intent, so I would change the text to read: "For the purpose of these attacks, the monk's base attack bonus granted by his monk levels is equal to his class level. Base attack bonuses granted from other classes are unaffected and are added normally."

Apart from the fact a misplaced word or punctuation can change the whole meaning of a paragraph, having a bunch of easy, one-minute amendments is great for morale, as you can pat yourself on the back with having settled lots of issues.
