[QUOTE="Alby87, post: 8998106, member: 7031244"] I think that a lot of talk is generated by people thinking differentely on what is a "D&D edition" (and not what a "D&D edition change" means). I'll try to explain better: to me a D&D edition are only the base rules: what to do in the three pillars (Combat, Exploration, Social). And, by what we have seen, I don't think those were changed a lot. Maybe the most "breaking" change was just the new Exhaustion rules. The skeletal of this edition (the 5e) will not be changed: will be revised. And I hope for the better (more clarifications). To bring an example, I would think the Starter Set rulebook. Revision will bring small changes to that book. Another part of the game, one that is at the same time pluggable and essentials are the class rules. Since the beginning of the one D&D testing, we have seen big changes in classes, and that is (to me) the source of confusion (maybe I'm wrong): so, the character creation and the output character sheet will be deeply different at the end, but during the roleplaying game, the rules at the table will be polished but not totally different. Will you be able to play a character (sheet) made with 2014 books in a table playing the 2024 rules? Yes, you will. Maybe not optimized to power level, but playable. If you bring a 3.5rd edition character sheet, the DM may ask you "whats your dexterity save bonus and your proficiency" and have them not in your character sheet because they are different editions. Tl;dr: IMHO, no new edition because rules will be revised and clarified, only character creation rules will be deeply changed, but the output character sheet will be still usable if using the old books.
