[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8959887, member: 67338"] right and I played 18 months of a D&D game that used the willpower mechanic form Wod...and I played for a long time (not sure how long less then a year) with a jedi, aflash like super hero and our D&D characters... that doesn't make the default of the game that WoD and 4e (the system we did it with) being compatable... it means we took ideas and made house rules. You used some rules from 1 game in another game. nobody brough the 3.0 phb to your 3.5 game and just used it like it was a splat book expansion. same no they wont... some will pick and choose like we (both you and I by the sound of it) but nobody is going to have 1 character play by the 2014 rules and another by the 2024 rules without HEAVY houseruleing and player buy in right that solution is simple "update to the 2024 book" I would say 9 out of 10 but I bet MORE then that will just be "no we use this book update to it" it is no different then showing up to a Pathfinder 1e game with a 4e warlord... you wont be turned away but you have to remake the character. it is neither a mountain or a mole hill... it's a new version fo the game. It's the same divide we have always called editions and in last 20 year include 'half editions" or .5s that's the thing... if I make a Mountian dwarf bard with teh 2014 PHB I can still PLAY A mt dwarf bard... but I have to remake him useing the rules in the new book. If I go to a 10 tables, 1 is playing 1e, 1 is playing 2e, 1 is playing 3.0, 1 is playing 3.5, 1 is playing 4e, 1 is playing 5e from 2014, 1 is playing 5e from 2024(or playtest), one is playing pathfinder 1e 1 is playing PF 2e, and one is playing level up... I can make a Dwarven cleric. I can name the character the same and have the same personality and back story... and I can say "I am playing D&D as a dwarf cleric" What I can't do is transfer from 1 game to another without modifications. Those modifications range from ground floor rewrite to make some class and race and spell changes and remember condition changed and some basics got adjusted... 2014 to 2024 is not the most change needed... but it is in teh same category as several of them [/QUOTE]
