[QUOTE="Parmandur, post: 8632246, member: 6780330"] I'm sorry, but a few people on a message board having a panic attack is not the same thing as not being "compatible." You can make an Encounter right now, mixing the old and new Monster stat blocks: WotC expects people to be doing just that, per the books! That is compatibility. You also still seem a little confused about yhe "rule change" involved. They didn't change a general rule of the game, they provided Monster stat blocks with different powers: but all Monster stat blocks are already variant rules, in the exceptions based system they are the exceptions. WotC can change all the exceptions without touching the core rules. Random assertion of what you assume to be the case isn't as compelling to me as the manifold testimony of people who mixed 1E, Basic and 2E. Especially since my casual as heck College group did thst with 3E and 3.5 which in retrospect was a bit gnarly. [/QUOTE]
