[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9455386, member: 6801228"] Yes it is. You literally just demonstrated how it is compatible. There is no "backwards" here, because the 2024 rules ALSO use the same armor system as 2014. The rules you just presented are compatible with DnD 5e 2014 and 2024. So it is equally compatible now as it was if you made those exact rules in 2017. Right, so you can change the numbers. The Kibblestasty crafting rules designed for DnD 5e were not using the same crafting rules as the 2014 PHB, and they are as equally compatible with DnD 2024 as they were with DnD 2014. You are essentially trying to say that all rules made for DnD 5e must always be the exact same as the rules for DnD 5e... which means you are trying to claim no alternate rules can possibly be made for the game at all, because people demanded backwards compatibility from 2024. And that is demonstrably untrue. Trivially so. Again, if I am making a rule set for DnD 5e, and I'm not selling it on DnD Beyond, why do I care about DnD Beyond's struggles with my rule set? Am I not allowed to make and sell rules unless DnD Beyond tells me it can support them? Was that suddenly added to by-laws of Dungeons and Dragons? [/QUOTE]
