Ultimately it is in a good  way – and it feels more ‘old school’ than 4e for sure.The Warlock picks up some of the flavor in 4e power spell names and pact blade if nothing else – and fro all I know they come from 2-3.5e which I skipped playing – (which is why the name ‘pact blade’ which is more accurately a ‘pact weapon’ – even WotC support was calling it that – threw me for a loop in my first Warlock thread). And support even had to correct themselves on another warlock spell ruling for me!  I caught errata in 5e Warlock quick build took from the alpha draft they didn’t update when they updated the spell list. So even WotC is learning their new systemBut if you’re used to playing a previous edition(s) a lot, and not all of them, or some of them in the distant past, which 5e draws from, it can be confusing when you expect one thing and get another.Once more people get the PHB and can sit down with it we can help each other make sense of it.Personally I had a borrowed book I had to get back. You know like when you have to return a library book the next day so you speed read what you think are the important parts. It doesn’t make complete sense. so you ask a Q. Then right after you do you that you realize that a higher level feature actually is tied to what you were looking for. even though you’re looking at making a low level PC let a lot perhaps a multi-class for more defense up front. Exactly what happened.Thanks for the responses. I think were doing OK. I'm excited about 5e.</blockquote>
