[QUOTE="Willie the Duck, post: 8924046, member: 6799660"] Mu. It will be 'compatible enough' to make it work if you want to make it work. Characters built with one system's rules will be playable in the other -- and with characters built in the other, probably with power differentials not outside the existing span. That said, there will be existing builds that are no longer interesting (especially if their primary gimmick/uniqueness is eliminated/made universal). New ones will pop up. Certain actions will be more or less advisable (I'm certainly looking to where we end up with regards to switching between running/climbing/swimming/jumping). Stealth and sentry duties (and darkvision vs. light cantrips) will again have winners and losers if you play pure RAW. If they're trying to make it a billion-dollar franchise, how does this advantage them? If everyone who wants to keep up has to go out and re-buy everything, it will keep it as a 150 million-dollar franchise a bit longer, but do nothing to grow the brand. [/QUOTE]
