Pathfinder to support 5E?

[Brix]

Since WotC will support multiple iterations of the game I wondered if they will use 3.5E or Pathfinder for the 3E era.

I doubt seriously if 5E will even acknowledge the existence of Pathfinder.

Sigh.

Please, please show me where it says WotC will be doing this. The new iteration of D&D is drawing inspiration from all eras of play, not outright going back and supporting previous editions again.

I seriously doubt that 5E will be backwards compatible with even a single prior edition of the game, much less attempt the impossible task of being backwards compatible with ALL of them.

Man I wish people would stop inventing new ways to role play

Wasn't there a note that campaign settings like FR will be supported by (light)rules for all eras?

It would be in WotC's interests to stamp down this rumor, HARD and SOON.

Yeah, eras of time within the Forgotten Realms historical timeline, as in, within the game itself. Not all eras of D&D.

D&D internet rumor telephone strikes again.

Right now it's a statement without meaning or context. Multiple iterations could very well be limited to multiple styles of 5E and 4E or just multiple variants of 5E. If they try to reincorporate D20, I can see wind up doing no good for anyone.

Ok, again, show me where they said they were going to support multiple iterations of D&D. Link exactly where it says they are doing this.

Or, ya know, read the rest of this thread.

You know how some people say there are no dumb questions...?
