[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8574745, member: 6790260"] Keep in mind, "5.5” is a purely community name. No one from WotC has ever said anything more than the vaguest, most detail-free things about any work in that direction. It is certainly possible that we will get an actual product with a name of such a nature (or an alternative like "Revised 5E" or the like). But it could also just be presented as a 4e Essentials style "update" with alternate options that are theoretically intercompatible. Or it could be presented as a mere reprint with "errata" factored in. There has been a notable shift in their new content, moving away from SR abilities almost completely and instead using "PB per LR" abilities. This plus the comments about changes to Ancestry rules are why most people [I]expect[/I] a "5.5e," but we shouldn't presume that the common interpretation is 100% right. Remember how the D&D Next playtest pushed really really hard on "modularity" and then delivered on almost none of its intent in that direction. [/QUOTE]
