So a 2014 char uses the 2014 races, classes, subclasses, feats, etc. the 2024 char uses 2024 content exclusively, no mixing and matchingThis is very simple to follow and only needs some minor edge cases to be resolvedno, that just means the rules are not identical, it says nothing about compatibility. Heck Tasha's racial bonus rules are different from the PHB ones, does that mean the two are not compatible books? If so, why has no one brought this up in the last 3 or so years....no one said 2e is compatible with 5e, so off to a good start... you also do mix and match (you take a 5e race, the 5e spells but the 2e spell slots...) so this is whacky, but I do not consider it much of an example for what we were saying. Sure, you can houserule anything, but there is no compatibility between a 2e char and a 5e char, you had to houserule a lot (and did) to get any semblance of that.The whole point of compatibility is that this is not needed, if you do it anyway, that is your prerogative.So basically you did everything you did in any of your posts and none of what everyone else said you should be doing in the replies to your questions (see my rules of thumb). To me this just shows that you do not really care what anyone says and the questions you asked were just rhetorical.Sure, you can create an amalgamation and make it work, but compatibility means you do not need to do so. Incompatibility means you have to in order to make it work.</blockquote>
