You can play an old class with the new system, and run an old adventure with the new system.Forwards Compatibility: You can use the new books with the old system. You can play a new class with the old system, and run a new adventure with the old system, without referencing the new system, and with errata to the old system to include any references from a new class or other new element not found in the old system.What WOTC Promised: Backwards Compatibility.That's it. As far as I've seen for the past many videos and UAs and posts they've made, they've only ever said it would be Backwards Compatible. I've never once seen them say it would be Forwards Compatible or that you could run a new class in the old system without referencing the new system, or mix and match everything without referencing the new system. I've never once seen them say or imply they would errata the old system to accommodate you running a new class in the old system by adding new system rules to the old system like Weapon Mastery rules. If you've seen different, I'd like to see what you're referring to.</blockquote>
