I am trying to make a 2024 version of my paladin. I can pick Oath of Devotion because it is free. I can pick the Xanathar's options and Oathebreaker because they are from 2014 content I own, but I cannot pick the 2014 version of things I own if they're in 2024 content I don't own. I can't use the Oath of the Ancients.

I hate playing with people who insist on using beyond

Well, that's okay, because you're not playing with me or my group right now! ๐Ÿ’œ

Ok, to be fair. I would not have been able to figure all the math out even with friends help if it wasn't for Beyond. It's a great source to learn the mechanics. Now that I've been playing for months I'm more comfortable but would still likely get things quite wrong if i was forced to use only paper and pencil.
