one man’s fix is another’s unwanted change. If you consider them a fix, use them. If you prefer the original, no one is forcing you to switch by pulling the edition rug out from under you
Correct. It didn't replace the 2e core rules altogether—it required the existing core rules to function. It contained multiple options to replace different aspects of the game (some good, some not so much) like combat, which spells were in what cleric spheres and such, but you still needed the core rules.
how about that choice is entirely yours to make with One D&D, WotC is not prescribing it
emphasis on it replaced PHB rules with new options, sometimes large sections (combat), it did not just add to them. It was not standalone however, so other parts of the PHB were still needed, it did not replace the entire book
I see no conflict. Here is the new version. If you don't like a change, the old version can be used instead (or occasionally in tandem). You can use the 2014 warlock if you prefer it. The rules will still work, with some occasional elbow grease to cover the gaps.
I'm not opposed to this as long as the recovery isn't technically part of a short rest. That's proven not to work for pacing.
So do you want a 6e that reinvents the wheel again and renders the last 10 years of books obsolete or do you want to 5e to remain static while they add more patches to fix issues via different sourcebooks so that the most recent version of the game is scattered among six different books?
my argument is that rug is being pulled even if the word edition isn't being used... there will be a new warlock, and as such it will be update to the new "not edition" or get left behind the same way a 6e warlock would.
the only part of that is that you can use either PHB with the adventures... you can't use both phb and both will not be supported going forward
except what happens when new spells come out in the first post 2024 splat? will they support, you know what I think this deserves it's own thread.
it works at our table fine but ymmv
