Metagame. Basically the existence of common counterspells, what they counter, and how common they are would be widely known by spellcasters. Like psychic spells would be rarely resisted for damage but spells that counter psychic spells would be common due to excessive use of psychic spells by...

I was using ranger because it specially refers to rules and mechanics that exist in 5.5e but not 5.0e. Nothing in 5.5e currently refers to things only in 5.5e which cant be generally interpreted in natural thought or is peripheral in application. That is a choice There is nothing stopping...

Can't have a ranger subclass that uses charges if Favored Enemy if you don't make it clear that you are using the 5.5e version which has uses of Favored Enemy.

Too late for that. Too few people called 2014 5.0e to retroactively rename it that.

I know that. WOTC barely does nonundead Shadowfell stuff. Evil magic sword. Focus on the magic item part. Its an evil magic item that you can relocate onto other magic swords. Or in other terms. Go from Gish Patron to Artificer Patron. Its a living hex that wants to land on and corrupt...

Not opposed to a Shadow patrons but with 2 Undeath patrons, its not a priority to me. Magic Sword Patron IMHO has more you can do with it when detected from Gishing and Hexing. Especially with the shadowfell being so unexplored outside of undead.

Hexblade as a subclass in 5.5e (look its official) is redundant. 5.5e's Pact of the Blade does the major aspect of the subclass and the Hex big enough to really matter. To me, 3e's hexblade and duskblade, and 4e's swordmage should be subclasses of some arcane warrior class. But its too late...

Not a big issue. But getting everyone to use the same term helps a lot. It will consolidate searches and filter out 2014 info from them.

I dont think it was not anticipated. I think they were more worried that a new name would confuse people into not thinking the revision was not compatible with the original. And I kinda get it. They barely changed much and many fans were still confused.

More like the "Dont name it something other than 5e because people won't believe it's backwards compatible and not buy the new books" phase has passed and the "create new updated versions and spinoffs of the old books" phase has begun.

Clarity. People were using 5e for the original and revision due to no official shorthand. With a shorthand, people are more likely to specify.

It was thinking about Attack vs Spell DC. Spell Attack vs Spell DC is a +2.5 in favor of the attacker if both with the same score and proficiency. So martials would be behind

I was thinking at penalty. Either with disadvantage or as INT/WIS/CHA spell attack.
