| Dec 6, 2017 at 13:21 | comment | added | KRyan | @Lazurite Also the beginning of every (? most, anyway) errata document explains how to handle contradictions between source books. It’s quite specific that the “primary source” wins out. Monster Manual is the primary source for the half-dragon template. | |
| Dec 6, 2017 at 13:08 | comment | added | nijineko | @Lazurite Rules Compendium, page 5. I do believe that there is also a previous statement regarding the primacy of the Core 3 over other sources, but I don't recall where that was written off the top of my head. | |
| Dec 6, 2017 at 8:57 | comment | added | Lazurite | @nijineko Actually, I have alreagy agreed with KRyan, but thanks for the additional piece of information :) It's always appreciated :) EDIT: Would you mind giving the source to that policy? (I do think I might need that :D) | |
| Dec 6, 2017 at 3:19 | comment | added | nijineko | @Lazurite Actually, KRyan is correct on this point. According to the policy established by WotC a supplement is not permitted to be considered errata, and when there is a conflict between a primary source and a secondary source, then the primary source always wins; and thus RotD does not have the "authority" to change the content of a primary source (MM1) as a primary source always overrides a secondary supplement. A policy with WotC has ignored with some frequently, sadly. But still technically correct. So RotD basically wasted ink printing what it did. | |
| Dec 5, 2017 at 17:28 | comment | added | Lazurite | RotD lacks the authority? Yeah, I would think so too :) | |
| Dec 5, 2017 at 17:27 | comment | added | KRyan | @Lazurite That is my point: no matter what Races of the Dragon says on the subject, it lacks the authority to make that change. The errata rules are clear on this point. | |
| Dec 5, 2017 at 17:26 | comment | added | Lazurite | Actually, it does. RotD says that you cannot add a half-dragon template to a dragon (p. 72). The article appeals to some higher authority, which allows it, though. | |
| Dec 5, 2017 at 17:08 | comment | added | KRyan | @Lazurite I mean, I am talking about any dragons anywhere, and the Monster Manual half-dragon template. Don’t need a web article to confirm that it works (and Races of the Dragon doesn’t get to change a Monster Manual template). | |
| Dec 5, 2017 at 17:06 | comment | added | Lazurite | I think what you are talking about is Creatures That Cannot Be II [ archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/eo/20070401a ] | |
| Dec 5, 2017 at 16:17 | comment | added | KRyan | Not a complete answer, since I don’t know where to find what is being sought, but this does at least give people information on where this isn’t. | |
