[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 8454762, member: 1"] So that has two answers. 1. Yes, you can do all that. The basic goal was to allow you to run an O5E adventure using our rules. 2. Even if you couldn't the game would still be compatible with 5E. A DC 18 check and a DC 17 check are both compatible with 5E. Three goblins and two goblins are both compatible with 5E.
