Not that it is really a life changing information. But did anybody else ever notice that some of the text in the pdf version of the 3.5 update booklet is invisible?

It seems to be only on page 29 which details some changes to the monsters in the Manual of the Planes. I you select the text from that page and copy paste it in word you will see some new text.

I wonder if it's the same thing in the paper copy...?

Wouldn't have believed it if I didn't check for myself. :confused:

Hmm, it's only the rows of the table that have the gray background, and it's all of the rows with the gray background. My guess is, for some reason, the background color is being rendered in front of the text.

What update booklet are you looking at?

I have 6 pdfs for 3.0 to 3.5 updates, but none of them are more than 14 pages:
Core Books Update
Deities & Demigods Update
Epic Handbook Update
Fiend Folio Update
Manual of the Planes Update
Monster Manual 2 Update

Huh. I never knew that file was there.

Thanks!

Has anybody checked the paper copy? I'm curious to know if they printed it right and I can't find mine.
