[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 6378686, member: 13703"] My group is still currently playing 3.5E. However, I anticipate that we’ll be switching to 5E sooner or later as both DM’s in our group (me and 1 other person) have bought the Starter Set and PHB and will be getting the MM and DMG. I’ve read a bit of the PHB, but not a huge amount of it. At our gaming session last night I was trying to give the rest of the players a quick summary of the major differences between 3.5E and 5E. Just off the top of my head, some of the things I mentioned included: - 5E rules are simpler compared to 3.5E, but DMG will likely have a number of different modules to make your game closer to the various previous editions of D&D - Advantage/Disadvantage as compared to a number of different bonuses and modifiers. - Wizards prepare their spells for the day, but can choose the level the spell is cast at when they cast it. - Feats are less frequent, but more powerful now, often the equivalent of 2-3 feats in 3.5E. - Forgotten Realms in the default setting. - Dragonborn and Tieflings are PHB races, as is the Gnome again. - Halflings have bobble heads and tiny feet. ;) - The concept of backgrounds and how they can help you flesh out a character. What other things would you include in this list to try and show a 3.5E player what the major differences between 3.5E and 5E are? [/QUOTE]
