Text trumps table

[ivanbin]

Can someone tell me where the rule is from, if I should ever need to cite it to another person?

Making a rainbow servant/beguiler?

Q: If a warmage (CAr 10) gains access to all the cleric spells though the rainbow servant prestige class (CD 54), does he really have all those spells to choose from each time he casts a spell?

A: "If a warmage takes ten levels of Rainbow Servant, he adds all the of the spells from the cleric spell list to his own spell list and can choose from all of them when he casts spells".

I can't google fu the rainbow servant builds and the rulings determined, but I think this is what your looking for.

Should be at the beginning of the errata document, with the other primary source rules.

You can find the rule in the erratas (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/errata) (in the documents themselves).


Errata Rule: Primary Sources When you find a disagreement between two D&D® rules sources, unless an official errata file says otherwise, the primary source is correct. One example of a primary/secondary source is text taking precedence over a table entry. An individual spell description takes precedence when the short description in the beginning of the spells chapter disagrees.

I thought Google would give the anwser pretty quickly , then saw the first result was this thread and none of the other results gave a source. I cleared my cookies (even though I haven't searched anything since killing them) did it again and realized it wasn't the same thread.

The thread asking the same question tells me it's in the errata documents for the 3 core books which can be found here

Errata Rule: Primary Sources
When you find a disagreement between two D&D rules
sources, unless an official errata file says otherwise, the
primary source is correct. One example of a
primary/secondary source is text taking precedence over a
table entry. An individual spell description takes precedence
when the short description in the beginning of the spells
chapter disagrees.
Another example of primary vs. secondary sources involves
book and topic precedence. The Player’s Handbook, for
example, gives all the rules for playing the game, for PC
races, and the base class descriptions. If you find something
on one of those topics from the Dungeon Master’s Guide or
the Monster Manual that disagrees with the Player’s
Handbook, you should assume the Player’s Handbook is the
primary source. The Dungeon Master’s Guide is the primary
source for topics such as magic item descriptions, special
material construction rules, and so on. The Monster Manual
is the primary source for monster descriptions, templates, and
supernatural, extraordinary, and spell-like abilities.
