But all are roughly compatible. This 2024 revision will be roughly compatible with the 2014 5e core rules, but will be its own revised printing of core rules. My point is that this isn’t 6E unless WotC calls it that, and if they do so, it would follow the 2e precedent. It is a gradation rather than a hard break, by definition of “fully compatible” claims. Meanwhile, quibbling about degrees of gradation isn’t very productive. That’s all I was saying.The claims of Pathfinder being 3.75e was a fanon term that was quibbling about the degrees of gradation, when fans just as well could have called it 3.51e or 3.5e Extended or 4e (Pathfinder Fork). Trying to use it as a baseline for judging the degrees of gradation of other compatible but iterative revisions to other editions of the game is comparing apples and oranges. 5e’s rules are fundamentally different from 3e and any iteration on it will look different than any iteration on 3e.My measurement of the differences could be vastly different from yours, because we have different experiences with the game’s editions. That’s ok. It’s just worth recognising that there’s a lot we don’t know.</blockquote>
