The Dungeons & Dragons 2024 Monster Manual launches for everyone on February 28, but there are already some changes that won’t be in those books.

Wizards of the Coast has released an errata for the not-yet-launched Monster Manual — but don’t fret, it’s pretty minor.

We’ll admit, changing the HP, armor class, or number of times per day for monsters can actually have huge impact, but overall the list is small.

You have to remember, the book has over 500 monsters.

If you pre-ordered via D&D Beyond, you should already have access to your book if you are a Hero or Master tier member.
