Point costs for things have changed, some new skills (like auto fire skills) and talents and perks are added. Reputation is done differently (it now gives penalties/bonuses to interaction rolls and Pres attacks and is either a disad or a perk depending on the exact rep.) Some other stuff too. None of which stops you from using current (5th ed) resources like NPC write ups. The actual point value for an NPC may be wildly different from what you might expect but the combat system works the same, the damage is the same, etc. Assuming you want to buy 5th ed resources of course. If you want a cheaper way to go to 5th ed there is the Sidekick's Handbook. I've got a copy. It covers all the important stuff like character creation and powers but leaves out the scads of other stuff that would still be covered in your 4th ed rule book (like damage from environmental effects and vehicle combat.) Is much smaller and much cheaper than the BBB (Big Black Book.) As to when 6th ed is going to be released I have a vague recollection it's sometime next year but you know how these sort of deadlines can change for small publishers. cheers mate,Glen(edit for spelling)</blockquote>
