[QUOTE="William Ronald, post: 664376, member: 426"] I am taking a wait and see attitude. However, I am cautiously optimistic in that there is at least an effort to clarify some rules and focus on balanced play. Obviously, I do not expect perfection from WotC. So, I will try to judge D&D 3.5 on its on merits. No one will force me or my group to change, as Forrester stated: (Careful, Forrester, you might be giving some of the DMs adventure ideas. Dentures of Doom, heh.:) ) Passionately stated. It is possible to take something from 1st Edition and converting it to 3rd edition, or D&D 3.5. Perhaps it might be wise for WoTC to address some of the backwards compatibility issues, but I am not going to lose sleep over this. Different versions of character classes, and even creatures can exist. (In the case of demons, is there any reason why any two demons -- creatures from a plane of chaos and evil -- should be identical? Slightly altered versions of creatures can exist. As I recall, there was even a random lower planar creatures generator table in the 1st edition DMG. Maybe something on building or altering monsters might be in the new Monster Manual.) As I recall, some of the material in Deities and Demigods was designed to make it "forward-compatible" to the Epic Level Handbook. So, my advice is take a look at the rules as they come out and try not to worry too much. (WotC should try to address some of the concerns that people have about the revised rules.) My advice: gather the facts and make an informed opinion. We just don't have all the facts yet. [/QUOTE]
