[QUOTE="TheHand, post: 8503399, member: 88835"] Like others have said, no known list exists and a comprehensive one would be massive. Having incorporated A5e rules into my own games since the playtest, I personally decided to approach it like a toolset: I can easily incorporate the new features where applicable, but it doesn't break anything if I use an O5e rule, either because I forgot a new rule or I wasn't familiar enough yet with the new one. Now having said that, off the top of my head here are some things I would note as major differences: [LIST] [*]The Expertise Die: not only replaces the original "Expertise" but also is featured in many situations that under O5e one might instead call for rolling with Advantage [*]Maneuvers and Exertion, this is a big change to the martial classes [*]Spells: Don't assume that a spell with the same name as O5e is the same in A5e, a lot of them got minor or even major tweaks. Also, rare spells exist. [*]All the Journey rules with Supply and environmental effects. [*]New status conditions like "Rattled" and "Confused" [*]Fatigue and Strife replace Exhaustion [*]You can do a lot more with what O5e called "Lair Actions" by adding in Environment Actions ([I]not sure if that's what they are called[/I]!) [*]Generally more "stuff" (more equipment, more magic items) [*]Paladins = Heralds, Adepts = Monks, Berserkers = Barbarians, Marshall class is much like "Warlord" from 4e [*]Heritages, Cultures, and Backgrounds replace Race and Backgrounds [*]New Skills (eg, Culture, Engineering) and a few skill changes [/LIST] Again, not comprehensive, but maybe this list was helpful.
