[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 4893092, member: 2067"] Interesting. If this is followed, then it shows that they [B]really[/B] aren't afraid to cut cross-compatability. Slicing out a good chunk of the classes and splatbooks for the sake of the setting makes a whole lot of potential cuts much more likely -- it makes cutting out Eladrin or 90% of the cosmology totally viable theories, since those things have much, um, smaller reprocussions. :) If it's followed, it also means that the stranglehold "core compatability" has had on the rules might have been nearly abandoned by now. [B]Huzzah![/B] This would make me a very happy camper, since it would give 4e some real "take this in a new direction" possibility. It would be like telling DM's all over the world, through example: "You know, it's OK to say your world doesn't have dragonborn in it." It's something that after FR's RSE and Eberron's cosmology I would not have expected. It excites me that this is possible. And they're absolutely right to practically prohibit it like this, to say "There's a reason we didn't put this in here. If you want to add it back in, knowing our reasons, that's fine. It could be a lot of fun. It's not going to cause any balance issues. But for our concerns, it's not in." Optimism level rising! :lol: [/QUOTE]
