[QUOTE="Pinotage, post: 4116877, member: 15194"] Given that they can't touch any non-OGL material, and by extension all WotC material outside of PHB and UA, it is going to be difficult for them to balance everything with the hundres of prestige classes, magic items and spells out there. They can't rewrite those, or even offer advice on those. In that sense, yes, compatibility will be an issue. But, they can make it entirely compatible with the core, and keep the system overall same enough that it won't be as different as between 3e and 3.5e. I still think that a blanket reduction in CR by 1, for example, is a fair way of doing it. Let's face it, CR isn't terribly accurate in any case! :) You mean backward compatibility?
