no.That's why I think it's a marketing gimmick to ease edition-change panic.
it's so they can sell new players handbooks, and old campaigns and monsters manuals.
A new edition would need to rewrite everything at once.
Switching from 4d6 damage to 2d6+7 is not charging the math.For some reason people seem to thing that changing what level you get abilities, how feats function, whether feats are optional or not, etc somehow doesn't "change the math." Which is silly. It explicitly does change the math.
Or taking the +10 damage from sharpshooter and adding 1d6 from hunters mark. (Feel free to check the math).
To be fair, no one ever wanted a 2014 ranger in their party. Or a 2014 monk.Add in all the explicit power creep and then stand the 2014 ranger that was an underperforming joke already next to the 2024 ranger...yeah, no one's going to want the even weaker 2014 ranger in their party.
