Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rainynights" data-source="post: 9650406" data-attributes="member: 7040071"><p>As far as subclasses, most of the people wanting to use old subclasses in 2024 are gonna be people who already have a character built who was using that subclass and just don't want to remake the character from scratch again, so the old subclasses remaining "compatible" with the adjustment of shifting all their features before 3rd level onto 3rd level is nice to have (especially because most established builds are going to be past 3rd level anyway so they won't notice the change, rip to anyone that wants to keep their 1st level subclass from 2014 and only just started before the rules change if it wasnt one of the updated ones though). As for campaigns, honestly there wasn't really anything they needed to do to maintain backwards compatibility in those besides a sidebar saying, "use the 2024 version of the monster where available", explaining the monster to npc change and giving some advice on adapting old monsters that didn't make the cut at all in the 2024 book. They could have kept a lot of the weirder and more experimental rules and been fine as long as they didn't alter classes too much. Tbh we might even see the cut class changes come back in a supplement similar to tasha's alternate class features once wotc has finished porting over all the subclasses they want to.</p></blockquote><p></p>
