Kobold Press Errata
On this page, you’ll find links to free downloads of the errata PDFs for various Kobold Press titles.
What Are Errata? An erratum is an error that appears in a book. Errata in roleplaying game books are typically rules and text changes made to a book after its initial printing, oftentimes to clarify an unclear rule or correct a mistake in the text. The errata described on this page focus on rules clarifications and typically don’t include the spelling or typo corrections that happen between printings.
The Errata Cycle. We will release errata at least once a year, typically in the first quarter. As this cycle is more frequent than the reprint on some of our titles, the errata found here might not be reflected in the latest printings of our books.
Which Printing Do I Have? For Kobold Press books, we print a “printer’s key” on the Credits page of each book that signifies the printing of the book. This key looks like 2 4 6 8 10 9 7 5 3 1. The lowest number in that group indicates the book’s printing number, so 4 6 8 10 9 7 5 3 indicates the third printing of the book.

(You don’t have this resistance when you use Winter’s Form, but you also no longer gain vulnerability to fire damage when you use that feature.) When you cast a spell that deals cold damage, any creature that gets a failure on its saving throw against the spell is also encased in ice, becoming grappled until it or a creature allied with it within 5 feet succeeds on a Strength check against your spell save DC. If the spell doesn’t normally allow a saving throw, the creature makes a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC to avoid being grappled. If the spell already causes the grappled condition, the creature has disadvantage on the saving throw.

[New] Page 31: Replace the text of the Valiant Inspiration Heroic Boon feature with: When a creature with one of your Bardic Inspiration dice successfully deals damage with an attack, the creature can expend and roll the die to deal extra damage equal to the number rolled.

Each spell must be of a circle for which you have spell slots. In addition, you can now copy spells of your chosen source into your spellbook. Any spells gained in this way count as Arcane spells for you.
[New] Page 103: Replace the text of the Counterstrike feature with: When a creature succeeds on a save against an Arcane spell you cast and would take no damage or otherwise suffer no effects from the spell, it instead takes force damage equal to a number of d6 dice equal to the spell’s circle + your INT modifier.

On a failed save, the creature or object is pulled, pushed, or lifted 5 feet in the direction of your choice.
[New] Page 127: In the Ritualist talent, replace the fourth paragraph with: Each time you gain access to a new circle of spell slots by gaining a level in your spellcasting class, add one new ritual spell to your book. This new ritual must be from the same source of magic you originally chose, and it must be of a circle for which you have spell slots.

[New] Page 127: Add a new paragraph at the end of the Ritualist talent: You can select this talent multiple times, choosing a different source of magic each time.
[New] Page 128: In the Armor Training talent, replace the second bullet point with: If you are wearing armor that would normally impose disadvantage on DEX (Stealth) checks, you don’t have disadvantage on the check from wearing the armor, though you may still have disadvantage from other sources.

[New] Page 129: Replace the third bullet point of the Hand to Hand talent with: You have advantage on ability checks made to initiate or escape a grapple.

On a hit, the attack deals additional damage of the attack’s type equal to the circle of the spell the creature is casting. On a critical hit, the spell is interrupted and isn’t cast. The spell slot or daily use isn’t expended, but the action, bonus action, or reaction required to cast the spell is.
[New] Page 130: Replace the second bullet point of Two Weapon Mastery with: When you take the Attack action and hit a creature, the bonus action attack granted by two-weapon fighting or the Quick Strike Martial Action deals additional damage equal to your PB against that creature.

Each of these features gives you a new way to calculate your armor, just like putting on a suit of scale mail armor changes your calculation from the base 10 + DEX modifier to 14 + DEX modifier (max 2). This makes the different calculations incompatible with each other, either requiring you to choose one or making the highest calculation override the others.
[New] Page 138: In the spear line of the Weapons table, remove “Thrown (20/60 ft.)” and add “Reach” in the Properties column.

[New] Page 162: In the apparatus of the crab magic item, add two new paragraphs after the second paragraph:
The apparatus floats on water. It can also go underwater to a depth of 900 feet. Below that, the apparatus takes 2d6 bludgeoning damage per minute from pressure. To be used as a vehicle, the apparatus requires one pilot. While the apparatus’s hatch is closed, the compartment is airtight and watertight. The sealed compartment holds enough air for 10 hours of breathing, divided by the number of breathing creatures inside.
A creature in the compartment can use an action to move as many as two of the apparatus’s levers up or down. After each use, a lever goes back to its neutral position. See the Levers of the Apparatus table for what each lever does.

[New] Page 192: In the spell scroll magic item, remove the second paragraph, which references using a spell scroll of a higher circle, and remove the final paragraph, which references copying spell scrolls into spellbooks.

[New] Page 204: Replace the text of the Spending Luck heading with:
You spend Luck to add a 1-for-1 bonus to any check you make. For example, if you have 4 Luck and roll a 13 on the die, you can spend 2 Luck to make your result a 15 (leaving you with 2 Luck for later). Luck can’t stop a critical miss on a 1 or create a critical hit by adding up to 20 (see Critical Miss or Critical Hit in this chapter).
Alternatively, immediately after you make a check (attack, ability check, or save), you can spend 3 Luck to reroll a d20 used for the check.
Note that Luck gained from a failed attack or save can’t be used to enhance the same roll that generated the Luck—you only accrue Luck after you officially fail the roll!
[New] Page 207: In the Advantage and Disadvantage sidebar, replace the last paragraph with: You usually gain advantage or disadvantage through the use of special abilities, actions, or spells.

[New] Page 228: In the Reactions heading, add a new paragraph at the end of the entry: If a creature is able to use more than one reaction in a turn, it can still use only one reaction per trigger. For example, if a fighter moves away from a hydra with five heads, provoking an opportunity attack, the hydra gets only one opportunity attack against that fighter, not five opportunity attacks. If a fighter, barbarian, and wizard move away from a hydra—and the hydra has at least three heads—it can make one opportunity attack against each one of them.

[New] Page 266: In the conjure minor elementals spell, remove “M” from the list of components.
[New] Page 268: Replace the description of the create food and water spell with: You create 45 pounds of food and 30 gallons of water on the ground or in containers within range, enough to sustain up to twenty Large or smaller creatures for 24 hours.

Each time you enter a rage, the sword tries to capture a soul for itself.

On a failed save, the runeblade begins leeching out the target’s soul. If the opponent drops below 0 hit points, the runeblade consumes its soul, permanently slaying the creature. A consumed soul grants the runeblade a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls, which last until you finish a long rest. A runeblade can consume a number of souls equal to your barbarian level, after which it becomes temporarily satiated. For every five souls the runeblade consumes, its bonuses increase by an additional +1 to a maximum +4 bonus at 20th level.

Special Note: We left the exact placement of many locations in Per-Bastet (like the Wharf buildings) purposefully vague so that the GM could place them wherever is most convenient for their game in the city, especially because the Guard District locations include a home the PCs can buy and use as a base. The city is meant to be “use what you need” and also “here are connections between some of the shops/people for use as story seeds if you want them.” For example, the “W9” on page 64 refers to the ninth location mentioned in the Wharf District to let you know the location you’re reading has a connection to that listed location, in case you want to use that connection in your game.

The wyvern settles back onto its plinth if everyone leaves the chamber, but it animates again when people not led by Hakar, Tennrik, or Hakar’s crew enter the area.
