I haven’t played since 3.5 oh god what has changed
A lot. But its a ton more similiar to 3.5 then 4.0 so the basic mechanic of 6 abilities scores and ability modifiers and roll a d20, add the stuff try to roll equal or above the DC, thats all still there. Big change though is basically every class has a Proficiency Bonus (Increases as they gain more levels)
and when ever you make an attack roll, skill check, what ever and you are "proficient" in that area from your class, background. Then you add your proficiency bonus to that roll. And that replaces skill ranks, base attack bonuses and the like.
Also now Feats are like completely optional, and now every class just sort of gets to increase their ability scores much more frequently and more powerfully.
