Official Errata, Extra Life Adventure, & Tooltip Update

Hello everyone - happy Friday!

 

We have three updates happening today that we wanted to summarize - the official errata changes are live for the PHB, DMG, and MM, the Lost Laboratory of Kwalish adventure is now available, and a small-but-useful update was made to monster and magic item tooltipping.

Official Errata Updates

The D&D team released official errata updates for the Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monster Manual today, and those changes are up-to-date in D&D Beyond on the website.

 

Please note, these changes are not yet reflected in the mobile app. As you have likely seen during the mobile beta, we currently require you to re-download an entire source (including images) for any type of update for that source. This is not good for our server infrastructure or your data usage, so we are working now to change that. We plan to push the errata changes out in the mobile app for the Player's Handbook next Monday (11/19), the Dungeon Master's Guide the Monday after that (11/26), and the Monster Manual one week later (12/3).

 

For a full list of all the changes to the three core books, check them out via the D&D website:

Lost Laboratory of Kwalish

Lost Laboratory of Kwalish is now available on D&D Beyond. The adventure explores an alternate expedition into the Barrier Peaks as players search for the lost lab of the legendary artificer. He disappeared in the peaks eons ago… as it turns out, finding a crashed planar ship and studying its technology to fuel his own research.

 

Proceeds from this product support Extra Life. You can head to the D&D page on Extra Life to find out more.

 

Monster and Magic Item Tooltip Update

And finally, a useful and fun new change has been made for creating monster and magic item tooltips on D&D Beyond. You can now designate which text you would like to display for when a tooltip processes instead of being stuck with the exact name as used in the database. An example should illustrate everything you need to know:

 

[ monster ]wolf;wolves[ /monster ] (don't use any spaces when you use it!)

 

This will output "wolves," but the tooltip will point to the "wolf" entry. This will help with plural or named versions of monsters. You can start using this now, and we will be updating links throughout the compendium to make use of this change over time.

 

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
