Monte
Cook's Arcana Unearthed Errata List
 Every
time a new rulebook is published, there are always a few
things you wish you'd caught before the book went to press.
While we're happy that we've found relatively few errata
points in Monte Cook's Arcana
Unearthed, we want to do what we can to make your
play experiences as good as possible. So we're providing
you with this short list of errata to help clear up some
problem areas. We think you'll find that these are all fairly
minor points. Thanks to our message board regulars who pointed
out these trouble spots.
Note:
These errata points have been corrected in the three
Arcana Unearthed excerpt PDFs: Way of the Sword,
Way of the Staff, and The Grimoire.

add +5 feet to the wielder’s natural maximum reach
and starting reach, so a medium character with a reach weapon
has a maximum reach of 10 feet but a starting reach of 5
feet—which means that he cannot attack those targets
closer than 5 feet, i.e., those that are adjacent to him.

weapon.

Monte
Cook's Arcana Unearthed Additional Errata
These
late-breaking points arose after the publication of the
PDF excerpts of Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed.
Chapter
Two: Races
Page
24. The loresong faen (both male and female) weight
modifier of should be x1d3, not x2d6.
Chapter
Five: Feats
Page
98. Bite: Replace the second paragraph after the table
with this one:
If a character uses a weapon (or unarmed attack) in the
same round as the bite attack, both the bite attack and
the other attack suffer a –2 penalty. A character fighting
with a weapon in each hand (or a double weapon) can make
a bite attack, but all attacks suffer a –4 penalty
in addition to normal two-weapon fighting penalties the
character might incur. The feats Ambidexterity and Two-Weapon
Fighting do not modify the penalties associated with the
Bite feat.
Chapter
Six: Equipment
Page
118. Delete the reference to the x3/x4 critical. Add
this:
* 19-20/x3 The weapon scores a threat on a natural 19 or
20 and deals triple damage on a critical hit.
Page 134. Containers and Carriers. Witchbag should
weigh 3 lbs.
Page 135. The caption for the drawing of Flint and

Chapter

Page
164. In the example under "Readying Spells,"
a 2nd-level mage blade has readied three 0-level spells
and two 1st-level spells, due to bonus spells. However,
at 2nd level, mage blades have a base of three readied 0-level
spells, so he'd have four 0-level spells readied instead
of just three.
Chapter
Nine: Spells
pages
181 and 208. Enfeebled Mind should have the Truename
descriptor
page 231. Ride the Lightning: Saving Throw should
