D&D (2024) Video previews for 2024 Players Handbook begin 6/18~

I don't see "let's discuss the 2014 spells that need rebalancing" on this list. I really hope they have taken a balance pass at them.

They changed several of them in the playtest. So yes, they have.

Here is a compiled playtest.

Any updates on when we'll learn about the CC-BY license hitting older editions? Especially editions other than 3X.

We mentioned this a bit when we announced SRD 5.2. They're coming, but we gotta get over the new rulebook hump first!

First off, thank you so much for coming to EN World! Many of us have left X behind so it’s wonderful to get new breaking news here. I hope you’ll keep it up!

As far as questions, right now I’m curious to hear about D&D Beyond integration.

How will D&D Beyond work with the 2024 PhB? I’d love to hear how the 2014 and 2024 rules will sit side-by-side in D&D Beyond and specifically within the character builder? Is there a single character builder for both 2014 and 2024? Will there be two different character builders? How soon will the 2024 rules be in D&D Beyond and available in the character builder? Day of release? Later?

Thanks so much for coming here to chat about it!!

We have already been informed of that, after the new core is out.

My guess is that they could introduce a toggle into the character builder.

HOO boy that's a lot of questions I can't answer, BUT I will say that DDB compendium releases have always matched their physical release dates and we don't expect the PHB to be any different!

Yeah I'm already seeing people say they believe it is intended that you can mix and match anything from 2014 and 2024. So a 2024 fighter could take 2014 action surge. Im hoping we get some guidance and that it will be clear in DDB

That is certainly one of the major implications of "backwards compatible."

Thanks for the reply!

We have already been informed of that, after the new core is out.

"Later" isn't really being informed. When we get specifics like dates and which editions, that's when we'll be informed.
