OD&D - Dungeons & Dragons Correction Sheet (Printings one thru four) - 001

When Dungeons & Dragons was originally published there were many typos in the text. a few of those were addressed on the following correction sheet that applies to the first four printings of OD&D. I am posting it here just to help the information be readily available and for general interest. There are hundreds of typos spread across the 3LBBs and perhaps someday that might be posted as well. I am deleting the address below because it has been obsolete for many, many years!

DUNGEONS & DRAGONS
--Correction Sheet--
MEN & MAGIC, Volume 1
Page 9: Add “Griffons” under the neutrality column. Delete the first listing for “Wights” under the Chaos column.
Page 11, line 35: “30% to 40%” should be 40% to 50%.
Page 22, line 21: The “T” cross index for Zombie/Adept should be 7.
Page 23, line 34: “…2+1), (“and” deleted) from 1-6, 3rd level types, and but 1 4th level type (up to 4+1 hit dice).”
Page 28, line 9: “each” should be east (it may be this in the 1st , 2nd, 3rd and 4th printing I do not have any of those to check. However, in the 5th and 6th printing the reference is page 27, line 18: “each” should be east and it was corrected.
MONSTERS & TREASURE, Volume 2
Page 3: Table heading “% In Liar” should be “% In Lair”
Page 3: Skeletons/Zombies hit dice should read 1/2/1 (read as one-half / one)
Page 14, line 24: “doing two, three or four dice of damage (depending on size)!” Refers to Balrogs description, which is not in the 6th printing.
Page 14, line 31: add Only magical weapons/attacks affect Gargoyles. In the 6th printing, this is Page 14, line 15
Page 14, line 33: add Only silver weapons or magical weapons/attacks affect Lycanthropes. In the 6th printing, this is Page 14, Line 18
Page 14 In the 5th printing and earlier Balrogs appears immediately after dragon treasure, but in the 6th printing Balrogs is replaced with an illustration.
Page 18, line 22: add Only magical weapons/attacks affect Elementals.
Page 24, SCROLLS: There is a 25% chance that any scroll of spells found will contain those useable by Clerics.
Page 32, Heroism: add The potion will cause fighters of 5th – 7th level to increase two levels, and 8th – 10th level to increase by one level of ability.
SCROLLS: N.B. After reading a spell from a scroll the writing disappears, so the spell is usable one time only! In the 5th and 6th printing, this correction was made except that the “N.B.” was not inserted.
THE UNDERWORLD & WILDERNESS ADVENTURES, Volume 3
Page 11: Balrogs should have “Die” 9. In the 6th printing “Spectres” were inserted in place of Balrogs.
Page 18, line 10: An Encounter occurs in a City on a 6. Actually, line 7, at least in the 5th and 6th printings.
Page 24, line 16: The missing word is ten. Actually, line 18, at least in the 5th and 6th printings and is inserted as the number 10.
