[QUOTE="SakanaSensei, post: 8997849, member: 7033162"] If I'm sitting down to do a campaign and my players make their characters using what they have available and the rules for their characters don't work the same way despite sharing a class (because they prepare spells differently, because their weapons do different things, because their feats say different things, because their book they made their character with gives different rules for frequent mechanics like critical hits), then it's a new edition. If the question ever comes up in play of "wait, why is Jill's Bardic Inspiration a reaction, isn't it a bonus action? That's what my character has," then it's a new edition. I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing, there's a lot that could and should be fixed in the 5E chassis that could make way for a better game! But I do find the whole "it's not a new edition at all!" talk from WotC specifically to feel dishonest because of the above issues. [/QUOTE]
