Which is why I tried to end this part of the debate earlier by saying I guess we will just have to wait and see. NOTHING in the history of WOTC, and TSR before them, and the branch-off Paizo from the WOTC game, has ever shown me that statements about backwards compatibility has ever in the history of D&D games turned out to be accurate. And I am not saying they lied - I am saying they often wishfully believe it will work out that way but simply never once has ever worked out that way. We've never seen a single transition result in an update to all prior material, unless it involved buying an updated book of that material. But again, we shall see. Maybe they will issue updates and errata to all their prior supplements to make them compatible with OneD&D. I think it's absolutely reasonable, based on the history of the very people in charge of WOTC right now, for some people to expect they will only update a smaller subset focused mostly on the core 3. I don't think it's "absurd" to think that Sword Coast Adventurers Guide for instance will receive an update, though it will need one to remain compatible.</blockquote>
