[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 9382732, member: 1465"] Good summary. I haven't kept up with the news as I am not really interested in switching to 5.5e, but at the very least it is a revision similar to 3.5e. They can claim 'compatibility' all they want, but I am very confident that the vast majority of those who will play 5.5e will keep it separate and not allow 5e material at the same table. I wouldn't call it 6e as the core rules are mostly the same (not sure but for example they haven't really touched action economy, combat rules, spellcasting?), but there are enough changed to create a rift between players of either. You won't just walk into a 5.5e game with a 5e character or viceversa and expect not to be at least scrutinised by the DM, and most probably end up being told to adapt. Again, it doesn't matter what WotC claims or what [I]technically [/I]should work, just wait and see what will happen... in fact it has already happened with groups specifying whether they play pre-tasha or post-tasha games.
