[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8508716, member: 7006"] It doesn't bother me that this book is being bundled in a gift set. It doesn't bother me that player races will have different abilities than monster statblocks. It doesn't bother me that races are changing in this new book from what appeared in the PHB 7 years ago. It doesn't bother me that I have not yet heard of a release date of this book on its own. It doesn't bother me that D&D Beyond will need to go through some adjustments, nor what those adjustments will be. It doesn't bother me if these are enough changes to be considered a .5 edition, or a stealth 6th edition. Why is this the case? Because I understand that I am not special. My wants and needs are not universal. And I am not so self-involved that I'm left feeling "abandoned" by WotC or the game because things are changing away from what I've gotten used to. There is no reason why I have to change with these changes. I don't have to change at all. I can play the game the way I did last year, five years ago, at the start of the edition if I so choose. The same way I didn't have to change from 4E to 5E at the time if I didn't want to. Same way I didn't need to move from 4E to Essentials if I didn't want to. Or 3E to 3.5E when that was released if I didn't want to. This Dungeons & Dragons game is not so precious that I need it to remain exactly how I want it, nor do I need to attribute any amount of self-worth to MY version above all others and thus get all bent out of shape when it wants to move away from that. It doesn't bother me. It never has. Didn't then and doesn't now. [/QUOTE]
