[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 9269114, member: 6704184"] I and others can. The Warlock isn’t being replaced with a new warlock, there is a new warlock that will work a bit better for many tables. I don’t know how you got your takeaway from the videos in question, frankly. JC said that some warlock players experience dissatisfaction with the warlock because of differences in rests per day vs encounters per day among different groups, and LR casters not wanting to take short rests as much. He didn’t say that it was universal, he didn’t say that the playtest was happeneing to replace a non-functional class, he didn’t say anything that [B]necessarily[/B] means what you’ve decided it all means. You absolutely have a choice. You’ve chosen to call people liars. You could choose not to do that. It isn’t a replacement. It’s new options, somewhere between optional variant features (the player options) and reprint errata (general rules updates). Also, the Druid isn’t that different. Wild Shape works a bit differently, but the biggest difference is that if you play a 2024 Druid with circle of The Shephard, you wait one extra level to get your first subclass feature. And your impression that they are denying any incompatibility is false, because they have said that you may not be able to mix and match on a single character, but you will be able to play 2014 and 2024 characters in the same party. There is an implied “without some mild conversion”, but they’re being cautious to [B]not [/B]make the claim you are saying they are making, because people keep hurling insulting verbal abuse at them when they talk about the playtest and the new core books.
