[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8977431, member: 67338"] if I can look at two copies of the same class and not need to change anything to make them work togather... so some minor tweeks would be one thing, but my go to example (and something I HAVE to play pre 2024) a mtn dwarf bard with a 2014 background needs to do as much to remake the character as someone has to do if they showed up with NO character... I guess the stats can stay the same, but your class is completely different (different way of casting, different spells you can even know, and different way your main class feature works) your race no longer gives you stat mods... and the NEW stat mods from background are not able to be made into the races +2 str +2 con. You get a feat you now need to pick, and you lost your background feature. If you picked your background FOR that feature (not unheard of) you might just pick a new one entirely. I will raise that, if I have my 2014 PHB and get hit with a condition I can't use the book to look it up... there is no slow condition and exhaustion is completely different. [/QUOTE]
