In every edition. There have always been new standards introduced. Every edition. 1E. 2E (a ton!). 3E (oh my god!). 4E. 5E.The solution has been the same in all editions. Limit what sources the players can use. If they can't use the sources where the new approach prevails, well, you don't have a problem.When 5.5 comes out and makes this approach the standard, you make begin the standard complaining about X.5 editions not being 100% compatible.</blockquote>
