What are the main differences between 5e and the 2024 revision?
First of all, the 2024 revision is still 5e! Characters created with the revised rules are still compatible with all published 5e content, because the core of the system hasn’t changed. But here’s a quick run-down of the main changes to the rules that affect character sheets:
- Backgrounds got a power-up: in the new rules, Backgrounds will give you an ability score increase and an origin feat, on top of the usual proficiencies and starting gear.
- Fighting styles are feats: the fighting styles that used to be class features for Fighters, Rangers, and Paladins are now considered feats.
- Weapon Mastery makes combats more dynamic: martial classes (Fighters, Barbarians, Paladins, etc.) have a new Weapon Mastery class feature that makes combat epic and dynamic even if your character can’t fling spells at their enemies!
- Tools and crafting details: the 2024 revision finally explains in detail how to use the tools you can get (such as Tinker’s Tools, Carpenter’s Tools, etc.)
There are some other changes, such as Grappling and Shoving now being considered Unarmed Strikes, cats having darkvision, and race being renamed to species. But that’s the quick tl;dr!
