[QUOTE="OB1, post: 9454037, member: 6796241"] My own quick review post running my first session with a mix of '24 and Legacy characters and spells, using the '24 rule adjustments for everything else. The session was run virtually in DDB and Discord. This was our second session in QftIS, the first having been played about six weeks ago. The team at WotC succeeded in what they were trying to do. The game is absolutely fully compatible with 2014, and the changes, especially for martials with weapon masteries, are wonderful in play and result in completly fresh feeling combats (the '24 Ranger going on a Vex short sword roll of 6 attacks with advantage in a row against a Mummy was a highlight). My players, none of who followed the playtest, enjoyed the session, and the two who had not yet converted plan on doing so before our session next week, not because they felt underpowered, bur rather because the additional options the Ranger had made combat more dynamic. It took the player who did convert only minutes to make the changes in DDB prior to the session, and she really felt the changes to the Ranger made a huge impact in play. It's only one session, but IMO, D&D is set up for the next decade with this rules refresh. Highly recommend making the switch! [/QUOTE]
