[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 8282488, member: 59057"] I fully expect 100% compatibility with the current rules. Maybe, just maybe they will release PHB2, MM2 and DMG2, the call it aniversary edition. Those will have the upgraded rules. At some point it is not feasible anymore to hold to 10 year old principles. Maybe you don't even get the same subclasses. Maybe you get the full set of rules and 2 new subclasses for every base class, each with the new design principle in mind. Maybe you even get new classes. Warrior, martial artist, where recharge on a short rest is too baked into the class... I know, that is a difficult task and a fine line to walk on. But if it is seen as an upgrade, and an easier point of entrance for new players then it is necessary. We old grognards can just play with 5e original + xanathar + tasha, new players can use the easier route and just buy PHB2 and we can even play together. At some point, new players need a new point of entry without buying 3 different books just to play with us. I notice that in my group, when we introduced a new player to the group, when we need to tell him that he should replace everything from his ranger with xanathar and tasha options. And when I need to tell our part time DM that he finds better downtime rules in xanathar and so on. [/QUOTE]
