[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 5978134, member: 37579"] No. More an acknowledgement that the past is deserving of respect. An awesome new game element needs no rule to justify its existence. The best metaphor I've heard for this involves cars, with car manufacturers keeping the crux of a model the same for years. The basics of the Ford F-series have constant for 60 years. That doesn't mean an innovation doesn't deserve notice. The rule exists to remind me that the past cannot be easily dismissed and must be respectd. For example, classes like the paladin, ranger, bard, and assassin. Do they need to exist? Nope. Not with a decent multiclassing system. Most a hybrids and the assassin in especially redundant. However, all have been classes in more than 2 editions and so should be core classes in 5e. Ignoring the AoO/OA system would be a colossal pain. But, having to create your own OA system would be worse. Err on the side of more rules and examples. [/QUOTE]
