By such a wide margin that it’s preposterous to even compare them. More feats per character, addition of themes, backgrounds, paragon paths, and epic destinies, and then of course, Powers, rituals, and martial practices. No other dnd, including PF, even comes close to the amount of customization, at creation and at later levels, as 4e. 5e has just as much front loaded customization as 3.5, and has the option of either less or more customization as you level, compared to most 3.5 classes. A warlock has a ton of customization, more than any core 3.5 class, while a champion fighter has rather little.most of what you list is front loaded stuff you pick at level 1.5e backgrounds are entirely non-rigid. The skills are 100% suggestions. You can, without any DM review beyond the normal DM right to veto legal options, just create a “variant” background with 2 skills, and 2 of languages or tools, and a feature+starting gear either chosen from the existing backgrounds or worked out with your DM.</blockquote>
