[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8928811, member: 7006"] Whichever direction you want to write the throughline! Exactly! :) If the Beastmaster Ranger, 4 Elements Monk, and Sorcerer class (all of which have been claimed to be "unbalanced" and weak sauce over and over these past 8 years by every player and their mother) do not make the 2014 book incompatible with itself... then having a 2024 Ranger made that is more powerful than a 2014 Ranger but is now balanced with the other classes in the 2024 book does not mean the 2024 and 2014 books are incompatible either. Stuff in the 2024 book will be better balanced with itself-- which means ipso facto it will be unbalanced against some stuff in the 2014 book. That does not make them incompatible. Because if (general) you argue it does... it means you also believe the underpowered stuff in the 2014 book is already incompatible with the stuff it's being balanced against in that very same book. Hopefully... no one is arguing that. Because it's a bad argument that is easily disproven. :) [/QUOTE]
