[QUOTE="occam, post: 6373508, member: 39815"] I think it's mostly a matter of presentation. Out of the (partial) list compiled by Dausuul, I'd say at least the following "scream" 4e to people who care about edition differences: However, at-will spells aren't presented with big green banners, formatted the same way as at-will fighter or rogue abilities. Ritual spells don't take up their own chapter. The 4e planes get only brief mentions in an appendix. A lot of the 4e-ness has just been quietly assumed: trained/untrained skills, recharging monster abilities, death saves and the short/long rest dichotomy. Those are significant new things for, say, a 3e or Pathfinder player who had no exposure to 4e. There's still a lot of 4e there, but it's disguised by the 3e-style layout and 2e-style art direction, and it's mixed in with earlier-edition approaches to rules. Oh, yes they did. ;) [/QUOTE]
