[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 9430107, member: 6779196"] I think that has obviously been the case all along. I also think the permutations in between are what makes this change different from 3.Xe to 4e or 4e to 5e. Those systems were so different from each other that you either made the switch or stuck with the old edition. With this change, you will have some groups that switch completely, some groups that use the new rules but allow character options from the old rules, some groups that mostly use the old rules but maybe bring over weapon masteries or the new monk or whatever, some groups that don’t use any new material at all, and some groups will start out in one of those categories but end up transitioning to another over time. That, to me, is a change more akin to 3e to 3.5e or 4e pre and post Essentials. It’s a little easier to combine new and old material than 3.5e, but less seamless than Essentials, which despite weirdos like me who liked to use it on its own was functionally just an add-on that you could use without changing any of the previous rules or impacting existing characters at all.
