Quick DnD question: how significant are the differences between versions?
Like, how different is 4 compared to 3 or 5 compared to 4?

3, 4, and 5 are wildly different from each other

3 is more similar to 5 than either 3 or 5 are to 4

5 takes a ton from 3 but makes a large number of huge changes such as no prestige classes, gutting feat trees, and having more standardization

Feat trees?

also no one actually cares about 3, only about 3.5 (which aiui was legitimately fairly similar to 3)

i found out somewhat recently that there are 4 major types of brake fluid called 3, 4, 5, and 5.1. and that 5.1 is significantly more similar to the first two than it is to 5

wizard being average and sorc being high makes no sense tbh
So true
Dunno. If they’re heavily weighting combat complexity then I can see it. Sorcerer has metamagic to think about every time they cast a spell which ostensibly leads to more decisions per turn.

fair enough
Cleric average complexity is a good take
Cleric has like 3 good spells at any given cleric level

I like species because race tying together ‘racial background’ elements into power always felt suspect since we already had backgrounds
Species doesn’t roll off the tongue well though
Call them Lineages and I’m on board
