The following document contains some rules revisions appearing in Heroes of the Fallen Lands and Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms, which are now available at most stores that are part of the Wizards Play Network. The revisions presented in this document add clarity to older powers or represent changes in our design philosophy. A few of the changes, such as the updates to wild shape and divine challenge, do not appear in either of the Essentials books but are thematically appropriate, given the appearance of new builds for earlier classes. For a more detailed explanation of some of the Essentials changes, visit the following links:
