Update video about the upcoming revision for 2024 Some highlights:
- Fully backwards compatible with 2014+ D&D books
- Can have a 2014 character next to a 2024 character at the same table/game
- Most of the classes/changes theyre keeping have high approval ratings
- Fey warlock has something like 89% approval rate
- All major class changes/revisions have been/will be in UA before release
- There will still be minor changes (spells, other class changes, etc.) outside of that which won’t be
- Probably will be previews next year
- The three new books will the largest version the game has ever had (close to 1000 pages combined)
- treasure is different (and will be noted in the MM)
- There will be more common magic items
- “there should be more ways to engage with high level play, and we can address that” - not sure what this will mean, but noteworthy statement
- world tree barbarian is in, brawler is out
- 9 of the 12 classes are moving forward, with just the druid, monk, and barbarian needing revisions
I’m with you here. Compatability with adventures (monsters, loot) I find good. Classes and player facing rules not so. I mean what if you take a 5e character that uses a 5e rule for something to a One table where the rule that the 5e build depends is altered. Or just a class feature? Imagine the confusion if a feature that does the same thematic thing have the same name in both? What about mixing features from both editions?
CHAOS! (and not in a good way)
