[QUOTE="mkill, post: 5779548, member: 55985"] Depends on your definition of "big" and "core". 4th edition made some very elemental changes: * The "power" format, fixed class power progression * end of linear fighters, quadratic wizards * same BAB for everyone * Fort, Ref, Will like AC, not die rolls; spells have attack rolls * fixed spell duration replaced by saving throws * much higher low level survivability * Remove full round action (and multiattacks), new minor action * Completely different healing rules (healing surge etc) * Buff spells and items were drastically cut * nothing on the DM side (monsters, NPCs) uses PC rules (and this is just an arbitrary Top 10) Each of these were deep, fundamental changes, based on very different design paradigms. Each of these have vocal fans and haters. Depending which side 5E adopts, it will be perceived as a continuation of 3E or 4E. For some, a middle ground exists, but some are either or - either you roll to hit with Fireball, or the target rolls Reflex. [/QUOTE]
