A lot of this has been discussed here and there before, but some of it was new to me. In any case the highlights PHB [LIST] [*]320 pages, much of it due to new art and layout. [*]There will be the 12 core classes with each having 4 subclasses [*]Reorganizing, putting character creation after how to play. [*]144 backgrounds with more details and guidance [EDIT: it's "144 options for your character’s background" which could be 9 species * 16 backgrounds] [/LIST] DMG [LIST] [*]They recognize that they didn't do a great job because of lack of resources.
