[QUOTE="Henadic Theologian, post: 8412905, member: 7030526"] That makes me wonder if the Sorcerer subclasses in Xanathars are going to get an update to put them in line with the PHB 5.5e and Tasha Sorcerers, aka bonus spells? Because between those three books that would update all the Sorcerer subclasses (Xanathars- Divine Soul, Shadow Magic, Storm Magic), (Tasha's Aberrant/Psion Soul, Clockwork Soul), and (PHB 5.5e Wild Magic, Dragon Blooded, possible some new ones). I think that technically the PHB 5e and PHB 5.5e will be compatible, mixing characters in a party that each takes stuff from both books won't break the game, all the mechanics will work, BUT just like having characters that only use books from pre Tasha's at the same table as characters that can use Tasha's, the former will feel extremely gimped by comparison to all the new stuff Tasha characters can. Really 5.5e started with Tasha's not the 5.5e books which will only bring the core in line with Tasha's. There is a reason why they had to dump PHB +1 in AL after Tasha's come out, because anyone whose +1 wasn't Tasha's got screwed. So yeah you'll be able use 5e PHB in a game someone using 5.5e, but it will become quickly clear that you'll want to get using the 5.5e PHB or at least Tasha's as well. [/QUOTE]
