[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8799117, member: 6704184"] Sure you can. If you are using a 2014 Race and a 2024 background you just…choose your ASIs. It’s not even a conversion it’s just…if your race and background both provide an ASI, you choose which to use, not both. A new rule to cover a broadening of options. This would fit just fine in an “of everything” book. The class/subclass does require a minuscule conversion, but it is still a very small amount of text. Ideally, it will eventually be, “if you are using a subclass that lists subclass feature levels that differ from the levels on your class feature by level table, you simply gain your subclass features in order at the levels listed on the table. If you reach such a level and have no more subclass features listed in your chosen subclass, you gain a feat for which you qualify instead.” So far, they could have snuck everything but the new class writeups as optional variant rules in an “of everything” expansion book, and no one would be calling it 5.5. I think when we see the 2024 PHB, it will very clearly just be 5e, cleaned up, reorganized, clarified, and fairly mildly revised in the fine details. Closer to a new edition of the 5e rules than a new edition of D&D in the sense wizards has always used the term. [/QUOTE]
