[QUOTE="Kurotowa, post: 9276627, member: 27957"] It occurs to me that another way to look at this question is to say, "Exactly which book are we talking about?" So for a start, everything in the 2014 PHB/DMG/MM is replaced by the 2024 PHB/DMG/MM. Sometimes with something different, sometimes with exactly the same thing, but you always use the new book. Then when we look at player options in supplements, not only are they easier to judge piecemeal, but the ease of import generally scales with reverse chronological order. What I mean is, the player races in MotM were made with the Revised PHB changes in mind, so those should be usable with zero issue. The subclasses in Tasha's Cauldron might need a few tweaks, and in the cases where they were updated for the Revised PHB you use that version instead. The subclasses and feats in Xanathar's Guide are the oldest, and thus the most likely to have issues with the design and balance principles of the Revised PHB. So for my part at least, I'm very much going to be looking at pre-2024 material with this metric as my guide. I'd be happy to use a race from MotM or subclass from Tasha's Cauldron, but I'd hesitate to use a subclass from Xanathar's Guide and anything that got replaced from the 2014 PHB is right out.
