Lower magic as you can only "attune" 3 items to yourself, but some weapons and armor do not need to attuned, so the magic christmas tree is gone.  Skills and saves are just ability checks and you may or may not be proficient in that ability.   Really if you like the fiddly tons of options in PF then 5e may not be for you, if you found that stuff gets in the way of fun more than enables it then you may love 5e. Read the free PDFs.  One thing is that WotC is apparently off the splat books model so don't expect tons of add on rule books and splats.</p></blockquote><p></p>
