Introduction (p. 2)

No notes.

Chapter One: The Way of Darkness (p. 3)

p. 15, Darkness: "Shuttered ammunition" should be "shatter ammunition".

p. 22, Cleric: In the last sentence, "even" should be "elven".

p. 27, Brittlerock (CR 2): The Reflex save DC and damage are not given.

p. 27, Underdark Encounter Lists: Under Underground, "Gnome, rock" should be "Gnome (rock)". Under Underground Aquatic, "Giant, cloud" should be "Giant (cloud)".

Chapter Two: Religion and Gods (p. 28)

No notes.

Chapter Three: Creatures of the Underdark (p. 39)

The Advanced Bestiary updates the broken soul (pp. 39-40), half-drow (pp. 46-47), and verminoid (pp. 52-54) templates to v.3.5. The Advanced Bestiary Web Enhancement #3 updates the drider template (pp. 42-43) to v.3.5.

Creatures of Freeport gives alternate (v.3.5) stats for Medioum, Large, and Huge monstrous leeches (pp. 49-52).

p. 39, Interlude: Dre'Rezzym's Journey: In the third paragraph, "ead" should be "read".

Chapter Four: Prestige Classes (p. 56)

The following table provides a summary of focused school prestige classes:

pp. 56-57, Assassin: Italicize "The Assassin's Handbook". (This alternate assassin class has been updated for v.3.5 in the d20 Freeport Companion.)

p. 62, [Dark Dancer]: Patron's Favor: Insert a cross/dagger (†) before "Demzer".

p. 63, [Darksight Slayer]: Sneak Attack: This prestige class requires +2d6 sneak attack, so this class feature should be rewritten to reflect that it simply increases the darksight slayer's sneak attack damage.

pp. 81-82, Vile Tormentor: Under Requirements, "Perform" should be bold.

Chapter Five: Skills and Feats (p. 83)

pp. 83-85, Craft: In the last paragraph of Craft (poisonmaking), "the Assassin's Handbook" should be "The Assassin's Handbook" and italicized.

pp. 85-86, Perform: Under Attack Flourish, reverse the order of the fail and succeed sentences.

p. 88, Craft Caster's-Level-Use Item: This feat is unnecessary for spell completion items, which can be set at any caster level available to their creator. Use this feat for permanent magical items. It also needs a less awkward name.

Chapter Six: Equipment (p. 102)

p. 105, Hand Croossbow, Repeating: Table 6-2: Weapons is on p. 107.

p. 107, Table 6-3: Armor: The second, third, and fourth column headers should be "Cost", "Armor Bonus", and "Maximum Dex Bonus". 

p. 115, Table 6-9: Alchemical and Natural Poisons: Gorgon's breath is a magical poison; move its entry to Table 8-2: Magic Poisons (p. 145).

Chapter Seven: Spells and Magic (p. 116)

p. 125, Conjuration: This domain's granted power seems rather powerful, even though it is limited to the Creation subschool.

p. 133, Summon Underdark Slave Creatures by Caster Level: "Caster Level" should be "Spell Level". Under 7th level, insert a comma after "Digester".

Chapter Eight: Magic Items (p. 137)

p. 138, Limit on Verminous Items Worn: In the fourth sentence of the first paragraph, delete "as". In the second paragraph, insert a comma (,) after "1 finger item per finger".

p. 138, Head Items: "Eye Items" should be a separate subheader.

p. 140, Standard Items; Construct Items: This text is repeated on p. 141.

p. 144, Gorgon's Breath: Thios poison's entry was included in Table 6-9: Alchemical and Natural Poisons by mistake. Move its entry to Table 8-2: Magic Poisons.
