[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 6033280, member: 996"] I'm sure you're sick of hearing 'it's a playtest,' but, well, it is. A campaign really needs a stable rules-set as a foundation, so pick one and stick with it. 5e isn't going to even be a candidate for 'stable rules-set' until it's officially released, so don't even try. Pick an iteration of the rules that's worked well for you in the past, codify whatever variants you feel your campaign needs, show it to your players, make sure it's something they can live with, maybe play a bit, iron it out, then 'freeze' the rules for the whole campaign. As for trying to beat 5e into that kind of shape: Mike Mearls and his team of professional, full-time, game designers have given themselves a year or two to do that. Do you really want to try to duplicate that effort? Of course, if you're trying to run 5e in a campaign to /test/ it, more power to you, and be sure to give WotC all the feedback they can stand on how it's (not) working for you! [/QUOTE]
