[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8959808, member: 67338"] that's the thing... the table will pick 2014 or 2024... that choice is all I am talking about. Some might say 2014, BUT we will use the new 2024 exhaustion rule, or visa versa... most will also have atleast a few house rules not in either... Heck I take things (and have seen plenty of others do so too) from other D20 and even non d20 games... but those are house rules over the base book we agree on to play with. my test (and maybe this is why I disagree with so many on here on this topic) is if my default assumption is the two books go together and teh DM has to rule that out, or if the default is the books DON'T go together and the DM would have to peicemeal bring some of it in with modifications. If tomorrow someone said "Hey lets play a 4e D&D game" and me and my fiancé were both playing and I said I wanted to do a tacticle warlord with some martial power 1 and some skill powers from a later PHB but she wanted to be a slayer fighter with a bow... my assumtion is (baring the DM having any house rules not mentioned yet) we could both play them as written. If tomorrow someone said "Hey lets play 3.5 D&D" and I wanted to play a warblade from ToB and she wanted to play a sorcerer with the 3.0 haste I would assume not only would that be a no, but it would require a house rule TO let it in. my assumption would be we use 3.0 OR 3.5...if there was some combation it would require a case by case rule by rule "this 1 from this and that one from that" not "just bring what ever phb you want... come 2024 my bet is that it will be closer to the 3/3.5. Heck, way back in the 90's I was playing 2e and my buddy had started in 1e... he homebrewed a monk class twice that was pretty much a slightly moded (two diffrent sets of mods) to the 1e class... no one assumed that meant 1e books were aloowed in [/QUOTE]
