Message: <blockquote data-quote="MrMyth" data-source="post: 5510049" data-attributes="member: 61155">Except the point is about support for prior products, not whether such products are standalone. Psionic Power is "backwards compatible" with the PHB, but only provides support for the PHB3. The fact that HoS provides more support for the most recent product (HotFL/FK) doesn't change the fact that it also provides support for the PHB as well - and more support that other previous books (like Psionic Power and Primal Power).  Focusing support on recent products isn't a new trend.  Your original claim is that they are wrong to state that both Essentials and the old format are both supported, and this is because HoS provides more support for HotFK/FL. My point, here, is that you don't have enough data to make that claim. If someone made the exact same claim when Psionic Power came out - that it proved that all support for previous classes was now abandoned - we would all find it fundamentally absurd.  Making the same claim now, just with some other products referenced, is just as ridiculous.   How can you not see it that way? It is absolute fact that a player with the PHB will find more support for their characters in Heroes of Shadow than they did in Psionic Power.   It is this disclaimer here that is what I really don't get. You only find it acceptable content if it specifically excludes being used by certain characters?</blockquote>
