[QUOTE="teitan, post: 8552636, member: 3457"] Depends on the compatibility and right now I am leaning no. I am not all that happy about Mordy's Multiverse and all the little iterative changes to the rules they've been introducing through the books the last two years or so. Not lore changes, that's all on me. But the modifications that seem to render previous books null in some stat blocks and now a big book that essentially squelches previous monster books and is reprints. Consolidating races with updated mechanics, if it is the final form, I am down with, the whole reprint of two other books that I already own make the book seem superfluous and unnecessary. Before anyone goes off the handle about "not liking change"... I am fine with change, when it is time and makes sense, but we are seeing change like in the 4e era where it was a constant, fiddly change that was neverending except there it was patches to fix problems that showed system break downs. To me this whole book comes across as a Monster Manual 2 that should have come out in year 2 of the revised edition and not two years beforehand. Will I get the revised edition though? That remains to be seen because I will be 48-49 when that comes out and have enough material to play for decades. I am fine with how 5e works now, no complaints with it so unless the revision is a blow my socks off in the way that 5e and 3e did, or my players wants to "upgrade" wholesale, I will probably wait or buy it out of curiosity.
