[QUOTE="Vyvyan Basterd, post: 6156051, member: 4892"] All of my experience with 1E begs to differ. One kind of each monster was presented in the MM. World supplements were typically the place that might change. Ocassionally the standard would change in a published module. Nothing they've said regarding the matter leads me to believe this will be any different. Despite your "evidence," which I can only ascribe to our point of views differing, not actual empiral evidence, I see things continuing in the spirit of D&D. RE: Neverwinter and the tabletop providing a consistent experience. Both are FR, one by design, the other by default. RE: The "general rule." They've alread expressed that they understand that you might have different orcs and that they will have creatures that differ from the norm. RE: Cosmolgy. That's a different matter. They approached that topic from a different angle by trying to build a single cosmolgy that is all-inclusive. It's not the "FR cosmology" forced upon all worlds. And when the setting calls for it (say Eberron), I'm sure they will not cram the baseline cosmolgy where it might not fit. EDIT: Hadn't read the Q&A yet, so they are. Still, I agree with others in the Q&A thread that the One Cosmology seamlessness will be on a rules level, allowing you to use other cosmologies without changes to the rules. You're stating much of your position as absolute truths, when really it is just your different POV. [/QUOTE]
