[QUOTE="Kurotowa, post: 9262339, member: 27957"] I am ready and eager to embrace all of 5e'24. But I'm probably primed for it by my other pass times. I'm a long time MMO player. I hover on the edge of the fighting game community. I'm [I]very[/I] familiar with the experience of a big balance patch that reworks the unpopular classes or characters, applies a light nerf to the most egregiously overperforming ones, and adjusts a couple of core system mechanics to function better. And often, if done well, it will improve the game markedly. Here in the TTRPG sphere, we're more used to edition shifts that reset everything back to zero and often takes things in a markedly different direction. This isn't that. It's a balance patch and system update, and I'm all for those. Goodness knows they already tried a patch job for several classes with [I]Tasha's Cauldron[/I], and the flaws in the 2014 release were driving me to focus almost entirely on that book and other more recent releases. Heck, I'm not even one of the people who jumped ship to 3PP updates to the 5e framework. Of which there is no shortage; even this very website's EN Publishing put out one. The existence of things like A5E shows how much the 2014 core books needed an update, and now they're doing it. Good on WotC. I'm going to happily buy them and, from what I've seen from the UA process, be thrilled to play the revisions. [/QUOTE]
