This thread is to list errors found in the packet and help DM's be aware of them. #1 Damage Rolls Each weapon and spell indicates the damage it deals, such as 1d8 or 2d8. Roll the dice, add any modifiers (including the ability modifier you used to make the attack), and apply the damage to your target. Magic weapons, special abilities, and so forth can grant a bonus to your damage.
Now see Pre-gen character fighter archer he has Longbow damage of 1d8 ONLY
#2 Augury Spell
Each time you cast this spell in the same day after the first, there is a 20 percent chance (1–5 on a d20 roll) that you will get a false reading. The DM makes this roll in secret.
20% is 1-4 on a d20 roll

Here's a good one: Look at Dragon Breath for the Sorceror. There is no information on when you get it, and it doesn't even mention whether or not it takes an action.

Interpretation question based on the problem the OP noticed.
Does this mean that any spell which starts "Make a magical attack against one creature" would add the magic attack stat to damage? Would a cleric's radiant lance deal 1D8+4+Modifier? Does Ray of Frost deal 1D6+3+Modifier?
Because... that adds quite a bit of lethality to all spells and the Warlock's Eldritch Blast... it also makes fighter's CS and Rogue's SA seem less impressive at level 1.

How about Dragon Sorcerers get proficiency in martial melee weapons but in suggested equipment they get a greatsword. "Um... You look nasty with your big meat cleaver but good luck swinging it!" (A greatsword is a HEAVY melee weapon)...

Oh yeah... skill training at level 2 could use a better explanation/example. I've heard two understandable explanations of how that's handled.

Tilden, i thought heavy weapons were just martial weapons that small characters couldnt use
YKTOG, how is it confusing? the bonus from one of you trained skills gets an increase of 1, the total bonus cannot exceed +7

I think the confusing part is that it reads like you can get training in a new skill, but it's unclear if that new skill only gains a +1 or starts at +3 like other training. I interpret it as a +1 for a new skill, or a +1 to an existing skill.

The confusion I've seen is about the training new skills. I've seen people on here say they'll use this... the bg trained skills start at 3, but any newly trained skills increase from 0 (instead of starting from 3). I don't agree with this interpretation, but can see where it would come from. Also, I like that interpretation (esp. If jack of all gives +3 training).
