D&D 5E (2024) Playstyle Changes from 5E to 5.5E?

[DarkCrisis]

5.5 because it's like 3.5. New core books that upgrade and fix the old core.

Tasha didnt straight up replace anything. this new core does.

 

[DEFCON 1]

I do not expect my game to change much at all if/when I start using the 5E24 rules. The foundation of the game is the same.

 

[Lanefan]

Revised 5e is what's on the official branding, so that's what I'm using for now.

That'll be very confusing for old-time Magic players, as "Revised" in Magic was in effect its 3rd edition...

Haw! Really? I mean, the word "Revised" has been used for a lot more things than just Magic. I really hope you're kidding.

No Magic player who even remembers such a thing will be confused by this.

I'm just waiting for D&D: Ice Age.

Based upon playtests, different visions for classes, and etc...

How has the playstyle changed from 5E to 5.5E?

so far I would say the game is going to change as much as it did between 1e and 2e or 3e and 3.5.

my group is (again) split on weather or not to update due to this. SO far I wish it had pushed farther

Does ze game remain ze same?

as much as all d20 systems are D&D

 

[el-remmen]

Is 5.5 really going to stick?

I just call it Dungeons & Dragons.

My guess is that the 5e math will last past this revision to maybe several more - assuming the power creep doesn't destroy it.

5
5.5
5.75
5.875
5.9375

Would be way easier to go

5
5.1 (Tasha's) (2020)
5.2 (2024)
5.3 (~2029)
5.4 (~2034)

Edit: I like 5.24 Should let it run with this math until 2099.

They can call it whatever they want but at the end of the day WotC will expect everyone to buy a new Core 3 every 5-10 years. With probably some major update book like Tasha’s in the middle.
