So I'll give two answers.Wizard: In 5E, he hid in the Inn where were ambushed to make sure he didn't get his concentration broken by damage. He occasionally launched a spell running back and forth from a window. A wizard and some cultists went inside the building. We had to fight them to keep concentration on and stay alive.In 3E, the wizard would have buffed the party with mass fly and other buffs to protect himself from energy damage and engaged the dragons in combat with the martials.Cleric:We used a 5th level slot to cast fly on the cleric, paladin, and fighter.In 5E, the cleric tried to stay within one move of healing range but away from two martials so he wouldn't be hit by the breath weapon. He spent most of the battle trying to maneuver to heal. I believe cast protection from energy on himself just in case. If the cleric died and we had no healing, we probably going to die.In 3E, the cleric would have buffed himself. He healed as needed and attacked. No worries about losing spells due to concentration and able to buff himself quite well.Paladin:In 5E, the paladin flew up and attacked unloading smites on the target. He had shield mastery, so he had a good chance of avoiding breath weapon damage. He fought the dragons while flying. Not sure if he buffed himself. I think he cast a spell that allowed smiting. They're all concentration spells, so he doesn't use any concentration buffs in case he wants to cast smiting spells in conjunction with using spell slots to divine smite.In 3E, he would smite and buff himself. Paladin has been a badass in nearly every edition. GWM fighter:In 5E, he attacked the creature unloading everything he had. Battlemaster dice, Action Surge, and the like. He kept on swinging.In 3E, fighter swings at creature.Not a huge amount has changed for the fighter except he can nova with Action Surge.Bard:In 5E, he hid in the Inn to prevent from losing concentration. I don't think he even risked casting out a window. We did not want to lose the 5th level fly and the bless.In 3E, buffed everyone up. Tried to stay in range to give his song bonuses. That was how we all spent our time. Yay concentration.</blockquote>
