WotC Bard is the biggest mystery in the 5.75e PHB

[Charlaquin]

5.75? What are you talking about?

The revised core rules coming out later this year. Just pick your favorite name for them at this point

Thanks. Just tell the OP that if they don't want their discussion derailed by naming questions they should probably spend the minimal effort required to learn what the name is going to be.

Hint: it isn't 5.75

Well, the trouble is they aren’t going to have a name. They’ll just be the Player’s Handbook, Monster Manual, and Dungeon Master’s Guide, which will have different contents than the books of the same names have had for the past 10 years. Since there isn’t an official name, but people still want to refer to them as a distinct entity, people are making up all kinds of names for them, with no consensus on which to use.

The 2024 rule books are being referred to by the people creating them as "the 2024 rule books."

They’re being referred to that way now, yes. Because there is currently a lot of need to refer to both rulesets in comparison and contrast with each other. The further we get from this point in time though, the less need there will be for such comparisons, and I guarantee they’ll just end up being referred to as “the rules,” while the current ruleset will be referred to as “the 2016 rules” only when absolutely necessary.

I thought the topic was how we call this edition. Was there a different one?

both of which are much less confusing than 5.75


Anyhow, I expect we'll see something like an expansion of Magical Secrets

 

[Twiggly the Gnome]

I think I'll start referring to editions based on Batman actors...

"1e" = D&D West
"2e" = D&D Keaton
"3e" = D&D Kilmer
"3.5" = D&D Clooney
"4e" = D&D Bale
"5e" = D&D Affleck

... and this year's books are D&D Pattinson

Does a Sorcerer taking the cleric spell list step on the toes of the Divine Soul subclass?

Divine soul should be the subclass that changes the spell list to the cleric spell list for the sorcerer rather than just granting access to it.

Exactly.
