[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9326726, member: 7006"] The one thing I know is that if a goodly amount of players choose not to move onto 5E24 from 5E14, then the revised books have done their job. Not every players needs or wants the revisions that other players have been clamoring a decade for (and now are going to get). If (general) you have been perfectly fine with how the 4 Elements Monk has played, never had a problem adjudicating stealth, and don't design encounters via formula and challenge rating... there might be nothing in these revisions worth getting. And that's great! WotC is happy for you! It means their first swing of the bat was a home run. Why would they have an issue with you sticking with what works? But they also acknowledge that they had a swing and a miss for a lot of players for a lot of different things with regards to their rules. So the fact they are choosing to clean those up is a lovely bonus. It is by no means necessary... most of us could and would continue to play 5E and its derivatives for another decade if we wanted... but I'm sure these revisions were as much for the designers at WotC to shave off the rough edges they were tired of seeing just as much as they were trying to please all the fans. And at the end of the day... they hope to make as many of both groups happy. By making rules that allow one to take some from both products and mix and match. They do that, then the job was definitely the best they could do. [/QUOTE]
