Many of those changes are relatively obvious and easy to recognize, while others are subtler. To help facilitate an easy transition between the two games, here is a list of some of the larger changes that can impact players, many of which are fully defined in Chapter 6: Playing the Game in the Player’s Guide:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ability scores are now abbreviated in almost all situations where an ability score or its modifier is referenced (e.g. STR instead of Strength).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Alignment has been removed from the base game.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Doom is a new, optional resource for GMs to increase the challenge of any encounter.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hiding is now a specific action with unique rules, parameters, and uses.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Luck is a new PC resource that replaces Inspiration.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Magic items are in the Player’s Guide for easier reference.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Magic items now include gold piece (gp) prices with each item.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Monster stat blocks are streamlined for quick reference. Individual blocks no longer display skill proficiencies, saving throw proficiencies, proficiency bonus (PB) notations, or the experience points (XP) gained from defeating them. Instead, this information is combined into a single set of modifiers that are easier to use in the heat of encounter gameplay. General reference information for how these figures are factored into overall statistics is included in the Monster Vault.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Monster weaknesses to specific materials, such as silver, have been removed, and those effects are now represented as special properties of weapons made from those materials (i.e. werewolves aren’t weak to silver; silver is extra effective against werewolves).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">PC race options have been split into lineage and heritage. This split is discussed later in this conversion guide and further detailed in the Player’s Guide.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Resistance can now also apply to conditions. A creature resistant to a condition has advantage on the check or save against that condition.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The overall number of tool proficiencies is reduced, and multiple tool sets were combined to make each more useful. Tools also include clearer uses, example tasks, and example save DCs for using them.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Vulnerability can now also apply to conditions. A creature vulnerable to a condition has disadvantage on the check or save against that condition.</li> </ul>You can also check out <a href="https://www.talesofthevaliant.com/" target="_blank">www.talesofthevaliant.com</a> for lots of great info as well</blockquote>
