Dragon magazine published errata for Unearthed Arcana in issue #103. The article states that the changes would be incorporated into later prints, but this revision never transpired.

Half-orcs: -3
Dwarves, gnomes, dark elf males: -1
Halflings*, humans*, wild elves, valley elves: 0
Half-elves*, sylvan elves*, dark elf females: +1
Gray elves*, high elves*: +2
* – Treat the indicated pair on each of these lines as being of the same race for purposes of effective comeliness; e.g., halflings are just as attractive (or repulsive) to humans as humans are to each other, and vice versa.

Racial reaction table (see source document for full table). Below are the corrected reaction codes for the races listed, showing reactions across character classes (T=Tolerant, N=Neutral, G=Good, A=Antagonistic, H=Hostile, P=Preferred).

* With regard to the reactions of races other than elves, half-elves are considered as a specific racial type. However, elves will react to half-elves as if the half-elf were either a half-elf or a full-blooded elf of the same racial type as the half-elf's non-human ancestor, whichever is the more negative reaction.
** Preference for half-elves of dark descent, hatred of all other half-elves.

The Fighter
The scope of the fighter class is expanded in two major respects. First, fighters are able to employ any and all of the new weapon types detailed in this book. Second is the benefit of weapon specialization, described below, which is available to all single-classed (but not multi-classed) fighters and rangers.

Fighter 7-12 ................................................. 3/2 rounds
Barbarian 6-10 ......................................... 3/2 rounds
Ranger 8-14 ............................................. 3/2 rounds
Cavalier 6-10 ............................................... 3/2 rounds
Paladin 7-12 ............................................. 3/2 rounds

strength, dexterity, and practice to improve. A successful pole vault requires at least a 30' running start and a pole at least two-thirds the length of the distance to be vaulted. The pole is dropped when the vault occurs. The vaulter can land on his or her feet atop a surface of 1/2' less height than the maximum height of the pole vault, if so desired, assuming such a surface exists. Otherwise the vaulter lands, tumble-rolls, and is on his or her feet in 1 segment. Non-thief-acrobats cannot effectively pole vault.

Character Age
A barbarian player character will be 15-19 (14 + 1d4) years old at the start of his or her career. The starting age for a cavalier player character is the same as for a cleric of that race – 500 + 10d10 for an elf, 40 + 2d4 for a half elf, and 18 + 1d4 for a human.

Page 107:
A stunned opponent will be so affected for 1-10 segments, during which time no actions may be taken. Any spells in the process of being cast are lost. If an opponent that is already stunned is stunned by a later attack, the opponent must save versus death magic to avoid being knocked unconscious for 1-4 rounds. A stunned opponent defends without benefit of dexterity or shield, and is +4 to be hit.
