Sugar (being plant matter) should contain all elements in some combination shouldn't it?
That's just silly. It comes from the Sugar Mines of Cormyr.

which aurora will be happy to sell to you in any of the following forms:

Quote
Sugar :
cube (25) 2gp
granular (1/2 lb) 6gp
brown (1 lb) 1gp
lavendar (1 lb) 10gp
loaf (1 lb) 3 gp
lemon (1 lb) 15 gp
mace (1 lb) 35 gp
orange (1 lb) 15 gp
powdered (1 lb) 5 gp
raw (1 lb) 5 sp
rose (1 lb) 7 gp
violet (1 lb) 8 gp
maple (1 lb) 35gp

I'll take a pound of mace sugar and some anaesthetic, please.

This is going to hurt.

Increase the hardness of the Sugar in a Sugar Mace = sweet beat-down.

Are you suggesting ...  :lol ... my jokes are the smallest thing in D&D ??
 ;)

I don't think that's totally r.a.w. , maybe some necessary refining.

In this case, it's probably using "too granular" in the sense that the grains are too large (i.e. coarse).
If it had been at all measurable, my laugh at your joke would have been the smallest thing, but I bet we can define a lot of things in D&D as not existing.

The errata on Tome of Battle?
What do I win?
An awesome-five for mentioning Penny Arcade's On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness.

There's a blank space in your reply. Did you try to enter the name of some book that doesn't exist?

not sure i get the joke, comp psi is pretty standard abbreviation for complete psionic, for which official errata actually exists.

Re-read how he quoted you. He deleted the book name. I.E., Halinn's joke was to state a disavowment of Complete Psionics existence entirely.

Also, the only case I've seen for the CPsi errata existing has been your link, which none of my browsers can connect to.

It's not on the official list of errata. What makes it official?

He claims it was written by the author. Not that that would make it official either way.

excuse me, it is not a claim. it is a fact.

the author gave it to me, as i recall the conversation the author and i were having, included this explanation: that errata was finished and submitted, and in the queue for being added to the website. another directive which came down from higher up, moved work in another direction, effectively abandoning the website as is.

the author wanted the errata to get out there, and gave me a copy as i expressed interest in it. i am doing my part by making it available to everyone.

the only way this would not be considered official is if the happenstance of it not actually getting added to the site at the last minute somehow changes the fact that it was submitted, reviewed, accepted, and queued (ie: official) in the eyes of some.

By D&D book, are we limited to 3.5/3.0? Planescapes' Astral Plane is infinitesimal in size. :)
Hmm.

A fact that is inherently unprovable. Thus all anyone other that you has is "the word of some guy on the internet". Thusly, you'll have to accept it when not everyone accepts your word.

Irrelevant.

NO.
The fact that is does not have the appropriate copy-write information attached to it by WotC means that it is unofficial.
The fact that it can't have that tag put on it without someone getting sued makes it unofficial.
It being official "in the eyes of some" does not make it official.
Hyperconcious being written by Bruce dos not make it official either.
The FAQ being Q&A for D&D does not make it RAW.
The writer of the Shadowcaster having his own fixes to that class, do not make them official.

This sir, is unofficial. Is it heavily supported for its unofficial status? Yes. But it is still unofficial.
Is the only reason supposedly due to the fact that WotC lost interest in doing their jobs a really sucky thing? Yes

Will I review the errata, and likely use at least some of it? Yes, but that is my choice to do so. Because this is not RAW, this is unofficial content that I choose to accept as having come from the books author.
