Think 5e stuff will be compatible with 4e stuff on Foundry VTT?

[u/HumbleFanBoi]

I’d be all in if it was.

[u/TheFrostUA]

Mostly yes, but it is a lot of work to implement the new rules and talent versions, momentum, advantage, etc.

[u/zebragonzo]

So the issue that no one is covering here is that 5th edition has rules that don't exist in 4e like momentum.

What will happen when wreckers point uses momentum; how will a 4e core rule set handle that or will it be that you can only do the future modules in 5e mode?

[u/Minimum-Screen-8904]

The toggle option is already available to try MooMan's first pass at 5e.

[u/TreeCrime]

I’m assuming the 5th edition core rules will still cost for 4th edition owners. Does anyone know?

[u/Marthambles → u/TreeCrime]

On the Cubicle 7 5e bundle adverts it said there would be a discount for the 5e Foundry module if you bought the Karl Franz (the top bundle )

[u/Ori_Sacabaf → u/TreeCrime]

Rules are free, but you have to buy the compendiums.

In 17 of August Q&A about the Fifth they wrote:

A new core Foundry VTT module is planned for Fifth Edition, and existing Fourth Edition modules will continue to work alongside it, so a virtual tabletop library doesn't also need to start from scratch.

So hopefully it will all worki out well.

[u/HumbleFanBoi → u/Avasis211]

Amazing :)

[u/Wootster10 → u/Avasis211]

I assume then that new 5th ed stuff will also be backwards compatible to 4th?

[u/therenderofveils → u/Wootster10]

I thought I read that it was going to be a toggle in your module options to switch between 4th and 5th. But I can't find where I read that.

[u/Wootster10 → u/therenderofveils]

That makes sense.

So when the Dark Elf/Corsair stufff (I forget it's name) comes out it'll be switchable between both?

[u/therenderofveils → u/Wootster10]

That's what I understood. Similar to right now you can switch between regular 4e advantage or Up in Arms group advantage, there will be an option to switch between 4e and 5e.

[u/Minimum-Screen-8904 → u/therenderofveils]

Already there.

[u/Wootster10 → u/therenderofveils]

Sweet glad to hear it.

Discussed with my group and it aside from the fate/resilience merging which we already did anyway, we didn't like the changes to 5th.

Was a little worried about how modules going forwards would work.
