Characters have exactly the same attributes, use a d20 to roll for attack or skills but various different dice for weapons and damage, they all have HP and Armor class, when building a character you'll choose a race and class and then gain different abilities while gaining levels, etc... There is some nuance, like there is with every edition (and that's why different people will prefer different editions), but the basis is the same. I started a 4e campaign a couple months ago with players that never tried it but already played different edition (one coming from 5e, the other from 2e) and they all felt right at home, I didn't have to spend a lot of time teaching them how to play, they already knew most of the rules.That's not how it went when I played Star Wars Edge of the Empire with players that used to play the WEG version. Now that is two games that share the same name and IP but have two totally different game mecanics.</blockquote>
