Apologies if this is the wrong forum. Couldn't find a similar topic using the search function.
I intend on purchasing this book to share on my campaign, however I'm concerned that if I buy it, it will retroactively make changes to the player characters I'm sharing books with in my campaign. I'm a first time DM and these are first time players who are just starting to come into their characters both from an RP standpoint and on their character mechanics and I'm concerned my players will have to more or less relearn certain aspects of their characters..
Can anyone confirm that purchasing this book will leave the player characters in their current Legacy ruleset?
You have nothing to worry about. Your player's characters won't be changed in any way and will remain on the legacy races. A player will have to manually change their race to one of the new versions.
Options from VGtM, MToF and other sources that have been superceded are separate entities (as far as DDB is concerned) and are labelled as "Legacy". Your characters shouldn't be updated and will remain the same.
