Is there a significant difference in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th printing of the rule book? Information I've seen so far is that the first printing did not include an index but other than typo corrections and some minor errata is there a concern with picking up earlier versions to use as spares at the table?
Sorry to be spamming the boards lately but I've got the bug and am filled with questions

Re: Print version importance
I use all the books I own without problem. There are minor typos and clarifications. I think that there was one spell in the 1st print that is missing some spell results...? I haven't run into any problems, anyway.soulcatcher78 wrote:Is there a significant difference in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th printing of the rule book?

Re: Print version importance
They all 'work' fantastically, but the fourth printing does have quite a few additional pieces of art. (Adding to the absurd amount of cool images in the other printings).

Re: Print version importance
I've picked up a couple 4th prints (shelf and work copies) and the PDF but I'm seeing what I think are 1st prints on ebay for $29.99 (given the item number listed anyway) that would work as table copies. With so many charts and options I'd rather have player copies as needed that if they get finger printed, hi lighted, or spilled on I'm not going to freak out. The price keeps the barrier of entry low and cuts down on the (potential) piles of paper getting lost, etc.

Re: Print version importance
Have you considered getting Ready References as table copies? I bought one for each of my players, but there is a free print-your-own option if you want to go that route.
