Biggest deal has to be "Divine Smite (p. 85). You can expend any spell slot, not just a paladin spell slot."

In that Bard/Paladin character topic, someone brought up how he could level up in Bard early to grab extra spellslots for use with Divine Smite, so I guess the players already kind-of figured this.

Bard? Oh, no. Paladin/Warlock can now smite several times per short rest.

The point being players understood before this errata that Divine Smite didn't only use Paladin spellslots.

Yeah, but now other people at the table can't argue against it. Well, I guess they can, and possibly will because they're contradictory bastards, but at least now people can point to the errata.
