It's like, in 3e, if you had a middling WIS score, you were gonna fail your Will saves. Bam. Done. It could be 8, it could be 12, it could be 14, that Will DC is going to be higher than your middling score can hit.In 5e, I'm getting the impression that if I have a middling WIS score, I still have a good chance to make a WIS save. Similarly, if I have a middling STR or a middling DEX, I still am OK at making melee attacks or ranged attacks. It's like, the differences between high and low scores in 3e and 4e were HUGE. The differences here seem to be a lot smaller. "More forgiving." They didn't remove all variation, but it feels like they narrowed the spread. Yeah, it's certainly a bigger effect than that, but it feels of a similar sort. Like maybe those 4 points of attack bonus don't usually matter that much unless you're already pushing at the very edge of what you can hit?</blockquote>
