The changes we've seen aren't dramatically different, but whoever have said they had to be? Try comparing two editions of a text book on - say - macroeconomics. The differences between those edition are very slight. New data, a lot of rewritten paragraphs, new, flashier layout to keep the students from falling asleep drooling all over the expensive pages, but the content hasn't really changed: It's basically the same theories, the same rules, just with a different color on the cover.But look at it this way: If it wasn't a new edition, there would be no need to buy new books (or dowload the new SRD); the reason people have to do this, is because there are changes that are more than just errata and clarifications.Look at it: New spells, new classes, new class abilities, new feats, new rules, new content, new edition.Just because we're still talking about Hit Points and using the basic DC mechanism of the d20-system doesn't disqualify it as a new edition.IMHO. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
