Dungeons & Dragons EditionsOriginal | Basic | AD&D1E | AD&D2E | 3E | 4E | 5EDungeons & Dragons (4th Edition) (2008-2010) was possibly the most major overhaul in the history of Dungeons & Dragons.4th Edition changed a lot of the mechanics from the previous edition, making it easier for new players to get used to the basic D&D concepts. Its setting and rules are a lot less varied than 3.5 - there's no more crafting system, most magic and attacks are made into "powers" that vary by each class, and magic items have been slimmed down - and there's more pluses in the game rather than minuses (i.e. most races get two + 2 to abilities, rather than the usual 3.5 one of +2 to one, -2 to one). To this end, the game is more fitting (and clearly designed) for a heroic campaign that is combat-heavy and very fantasy-oriented, with very few guidelines on the role-playing portion.Combat itself was highly revised so that each class is equally capable, but in different roles: Wizards have area-attack spells and debuffs, fighters draw attention and punish enemies who don't attack them, rangers do heavy damage with an assortment of multi-attack powers, etc., and all of these are presented in a standardized format to keep classes more or less balanced.Dungeons & Dragons Essentials (4th) (2010 - 2014) was a new line of products that was launched in 2010, compatible with 4th Edition rules. Essentials had the stated intent of offering new players a means of introduction to the game. It is, for the most part, a simplified 4E. There are some differences (for example, fighters and thieves have scaling class features that modify their basic attacks, instead of special attack powers) but nevertheless uses all the same core mechanics from 4E. It's a set of ten products (the new Red Box, dice, three tile sets, and a few extra books).The large changes that 4th Edition introduced made it incredibly controversial with D&D fans at the time. The main problems that scared fans away included concerns that it plays too much like a MMORPG and/or a tabletop miniatures war game rather than the more flexible fantasy game that it was in previous editions. Indeed, the assumption that players use miniatures on a map is even expressed throughout the core rules, such as movement being described in squares, not feet. Fans were also unhappy with large changes to the lore of several published settings that were released along with the new edition and the removal of the Open Game License which had previously allowed third party publishers to sell additional material for Dungeons & Dragons.These factors led to many fans refusing to switch over from 3rd Edition, or to instead play the rival system Pathfinder. | |

Spell Blade | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_10908f75 | comment |
Spell Blade: This tends to be a go-to element for Defenders who aren't Fighters. The swordmage's combat motif is one part enchanting their blade with various effects, such as turning it into a ricocheting lightning bolt, engulfing it in fire or frost, or spraying acid from it, and one part wielding sword and spell akimbo. Warden powers that don't revolve around shapeshifting into a lesser elemental typically take the form of modifying the warden's weapon to convey primal magic with its strike. The seeker is a ranged version of this, being an archer or a throwing weapons specialist who uses primal magic to buff their ranged attacks. Many of the battlemind's powers channel psychic energy through their weapon. | |

Ritual Magic | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_1599db45 | comment |
Ritual Magic: The idea that some spells are performed as elaborate rituals had always been part of D&D, but had never been fleshed out, and usually boiled down to a caster assembling raw materials and then casting a series of conventional spells. In 4th edition, ritual magic became its own subset of mechanics; all of the various Mundane Utility-focused spells were removed from the various spellcasters and placed in their own separate list, with "Utility" spells representing non-offensive but still largely combat-focused spells. Rituals require time and resources to perform, and cover spells like Tenser's Floating Disknote summons a hovering "cart" of energy to carry stuff for you, Open Lock, Plane Shift, Teleport, and Raise Dead. As the edition progressed, many new Rituals were added that provide more spectacular but still largely out-of-combat focused effects, such as creating a Floating Continent, causing a castle to spontaneously form from the earth, opening doorways through time, and so forth. | |

Necessary Drawback | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_1c0d4155 | comment |
Necessary Drawback: Ritual Magic operates under this trope to further remove the issue from earlier editions where sufficiently powerful spellcasters made more mundane solutions, including those offered by class features, to be obsolete. Ritual spells offer magical solutions, but require considerable amounts of time to perform (ranging from minutes to hours), consume physical resources such as gold and residuumnote a kind of "mana currency" also useful for creating magical items or selling for a high price, and in many cases require skill checks of their own. Thus, it's always worth considering using skill checks and class features instead, such as the Rogue's using their proficiency in stealth rather than just applying Invisibility. | |

| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_1e75509c | comment |
Adventure-Friendly World: The core setting of 4th edition, known as the Nentir Vale, was built around this trope... although the game also subtly points out that such a world kind of sucks to live in. | |

Ominous Floating Castle | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_207af763 | comment |
Ominous Floating Castle: The right rituals let a player make their own floating castle... or Floating Continent, whichever they prefer. Both rituals are fairly high-level. Lower-level rituals let the caster take control over a pre-existing skyberg, or cause their castle to teleport to their side instead, similarly to Castle Duckula. | |

Padded Sumo Gameplay | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_2351df1f | comment |
Padded Sumo Gameplay: 4E combat is often called "Padded Sumo" by its detractors, as damage outstrips health, and many powers focus on moving enemies around. Errata attempted to fix this, with a fairly simple formula provided that corrected the busted damage and health values of earlier monsters, but the impression stuck. | |

Hufflepuff House | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_27b83210 | comment |
Hufflepuff House: The initial release included four epic destinies: Demigod, Archmage, Deadly Trickster and Eternal Seeker. The last one is essentially "your character can't seem to get his life together and is just coasting." It has no prerequisites to take it, but is the only one that gives no stat bonuses or "capstone" power at the endgame, and its benefits mainly consist of gaining low-level powers from other classes. | |

Death as Game Mechanic | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_2b1b2877 | comment |
Death as Game Mechanic: Many Epic Destinies from this edition include powers that trigger on death, generally granting an Auto-Revive after some other benefit — a stint in a powerful spiritual or undead form, a Bolt of Divine Retribution for nearby enemies, or simply an Unexplained Recovery a few hours' walk away. | |

Faerie Court | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_2ba97f22 | comment |
Faerie Court: The Court of Stars, the closest thing the anarchic fey have to a ruling body. Membership is loosely divided between various factions, of which the most prominent are the Summer Feynote growth, hope, life and light, Winter Feynote death, decay, despair and darkness, Gloaming Feynote night, dreams, love, fate, Green Feynote plants, animals, elements, Coral Feynote water and water creatures and Unseelie Feynote fey corrupted by the dark powers of the Shadowfell. Individual fey may drift from faction to faction as they see fit, or even belong to multiple factions at once. | |

Gold–Silver–Copper Standard | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_2dc726c8 | comment |
Gold–Silver–Copper Standard: D&D is one of the early trope codifiers. Prices are usually listed in g.p., unless they're small prices, in which case they're listed in s.p. or c.p.. 4th edition stood out by adding the new higher tiers of currency of platinum pieces and astral diamonds. The exchange rates were as follows: 10 c.p. = 1 s.p. 10 s.p. = 1 g.p. 100 g.p. = 1 p.p. 100 p.p. = 1 astral diamond | |

Death Is Cheap | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_37fcf16 | comment |
Death Is Cheap: In 4e it's considerably harder to die than in previous editions, but relatively cheap to come back from the dead. That is, until you hit epic levels, when it become free to most characters via "Once per day, when you die..." powers. | |

Alternate Continuity | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_450c5a85 | comment |
Alternate Continuity: In contrast to the first three editions of the game, which had shared the same meta-setting (known as the Great Wheel) and an evolving metaplot, 4th edition breaks away from that body of lore and exists in its own cosmology (the World Axis) and with its own lore invented exclusively for that edition. The exception was the 4th edition conversion of the Forgotten Realms setting, which was a continuation of the setting from previous editions and which sometimes confused new players, who didn't realize that what was true in the 4e Realms was not true in the 4e core setting. | |

Neutrality Backlash: Dusk elves were introduced in this edition as a branch of the elven race that refused to take sides during the cosmic civil war between Corellon and Lolth. Because of this, both sides of the war decided they were enemies, forcing the dusk elves to flee to the mortal world in magically hidden enclaves under the protection of the goddess Sehanine to avoid being exterminated. | |

Always Chaotic Evil | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_4832a3bb | comment |
Always Chaotic Evil: Zigzagged. Whilst Always Lawful Good was largely scrapped, there was also a greater emphasis on the idea that traditionally "evil" races and creatures weren't always mindlessly hostile monsters to be stomped. Whilst a hobgoblin kingdom might demand regular taxes and strict obedience to their intricate codes, such a kingdom would also ensure the roads are patrolled, roaming monsters are culled, and life is generally safe to live. A cobalt dragon might be a brutal tyrant with a Social Darwinist attitude and a dark empire just waiting to conquer its neighbors if they show signs of weakness, but that same empire might be the primary thing standing between the civilized realms and the cult of icy demon-worshipping cannibals with their zombie army in the frozen north. | |

| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_517ae522 | comment |
Loads and Loads of Rules: 4th Edition has tons of rulebooks. Originally, there was the Player's Handbook, Monster Manual and Dungeon Master's Guide. Then came the PHB2, PHB3, MM2, MM3, DMG2, Adventurer's Vault 1 and 2, Arcane Power 1 and 2, Martial Power 1 and 2, Divine Power, Psionic Power, Draconomicon Chromatic Dragon, Draconomicon Metallic Dragons, Demonomicon, a book full of undead creatures, as well as the obligatory Forgotten Realms, Eberron and Dark Sun Campaign Setting books. And chances are this isn't even a complete list. By the time 5th Edition hit the shelves, making a proper character for 4.0 practically always required bringing at least 5 different books to the table. | |

Grappling with Grappling Rules: 4e is the first edition to escape the curse of far-too-complex grappling mechanics, and then only by completely removing all grappling in the core rules except for a single maneuver. However, there's an entire fighter subtype whose attacks revolve primarily around grappling. | |

Magic Knight | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_58204b95 | comment |
Magic Knight: The "Gish" archetype found its ultimate expression in 4th edition with the Swordmage, a class created to fill the "Arcane Defender" niche. Armed with an arsenal of unique Spell Blade techniques and relying on a mixture of magically aided mobility and short-to-mid-ranged offense, the swordmage wields martial and magical techniques simultaneously. Essentials would follow up with the Hexblade, a variant warlock whose powers revolve around a patron-granted enchanted weapon, and the Bladesinger, a variant wizard armed with a sword and specialized in the use of Spell Blade techniques. | |

Eviler than Thou | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_5963b221 | comment |
Eviler than Thou: This edition downplays the traditional Demon/Devil (Lawful vs Chaotic evil) Blood War in favor of the God/Primordial rivalry, but it is elaborated on in Manual of the Planes: it's been put on hold, not stopped. The devils want to make sure that it's held at a time of their choosing. On the other side of the Material Plane, each demon lord would gleefully shred devils by the score, but the first one to make a move will return (if he returns) to find his layer has been divided among his rivals, who took advantage of his back being turned. An attack on certain Abyssal sites, such as Twelvetrees, by devils (or PCs pretending to be devils) could light the tinder before you can say "Fireball". The battle between the God of War, Bane, and the God of Savagery, Gruumsh. Bane is a strict, disciplined soldier who believes in The Spartan Way, while Gruumsh is the living embodiment of unbridled Unstoppable Rage. Gruumsh wants Bane's title. The kicker is that the other gods, even the good ones, recognize that Bane is truly the more evil(he plans on getting rid of that nasty little free will problem, and sponsor Gruumsh against him, figuring that if nothing else, they'll keep each other occupied. | |

Human-Demon Hybrid | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_5f0d113f | comment |
Human-Demon Hybrid: 4th edition D&D revamped tieflings quite a bit; they were made one of the core player races and got their own Sourcebook. Because of this edition's emphasis on miniatures, their canon appearance became more consistent; they always have horns, glowing eyes, sharp teeth, a long tail, dark or purple hair, and skin that's either red or in the normal human ranges (although that last limitation is often ignored in favour of any colour the player wants). They can reproduce with humans, but their children are always tieflings. | |

We Are as Mayflies: Dragonborn in 4e may be a subversion: They live as long as humans, but they prefer to go out in a blaze of glory, with few getting older than 70. | |

Armor and Magic Don't Mix | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_6243b83b | comment |
Armor and Magic Don't Mix: Zigzagged. In 4th Edition, there's no such thing as arcane spell failure like in previous editions, but wizards still have the worst armor proficiency. They simply don't care about proficiency because A) there are magical means to protect themselves, ranging from spells to a wide variety of enchanted robes, and B) wizards are not meant to be on the front lines. The swordmage, the Arcane Defender, has better armor proficiencies than the wizard, but is still quite lightly armored by Defender standards. Justified in that they literally conjure magical forcefields around themselves to ward off blows, which is translated mechanically as a flat armor-class bonus if the swordmage is wearing light armor and going around with one hand free. | |

Changing Gameplay Priorities | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_65c4d0fa | comment |
Changing Gameplay Priorities: The changing gameplay priorities are built right in to 4th edition in the form of tiers. Every 10 levels, your characters get a pretty significant growth in power plus new capabilities, such as flight, teleportation or, in the final tier, the ability to cheat death and resurrect themselves at least once per day. There are some pretty dramatic differences between the capabilities and priorities of a heroic-tier party, where resources are scarce and powers need to be carefully rationed, and an epic-tier party, who won't flinch for anything short of a mad god and who can fight regular enemies for days straight without resting. | |

Edge Gravity: When a creature is affected by a forced-movement effect, such as a bull rush or a telekinesis spell, and the effect would move them off a precipice, they get an extra saving throw to attempt to catch themself at the edge and end the effect prematurely. | |

Teleport Spam: Every edition has the blink dog, a monster who teleport spams as a free action. 4E has the swordmage, whose Aegis of Assault teleports him to a monster who tried to attack his allies; the eladrin knight, who can teleport every time he hits something; the warlock, who has the at-will Ethereal Sidestep and the paragon path Evermeet Warlock to make himself invisible to anyone he teleports away from and bring his allies with him; and the bard, who can specialize in teleporting his allies and enemies. Warlock and bard are often combined to form what is known as the Bard Taxi. | |

Attack Failure Chance | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_71a069f1 | comment |
Attack Failure Chance: Attacks are represented by rolling a twenty-sided dice and adding the character's attack bonus to the result, hitting if the total exceeds the target's Armor Class. However, if the dice lands on "1" before attack bonus is added the attack is a Critical Failure, conversely a "natural 20" is an automatic hit and a Critical Hit if it would have hit anyways in some editions. | |

Gaia's Vengeance | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_7831b670 | comment |
Gaia's Vengeance: The rather vaguely defined "druid" and its nameless animistic religion of older edition was spun off into the Primal Power Source in 4th edition, creating a pantheon of animistic spirit deities — the Primal Spirits — native to the World Axis cosmology and empowering their own champions. Thus, in addition to the oft-associated druid and barbarian, 4th edition became home to the warden (a primal paladin armed with Voluntary Shapeshifting and Spell Blade powers) and the shaman (a primal leader whose healing and buffing spells were channeled through a companion spirit). | |

The Fair Folk: Whilst fey creatures had been present throughout D&D's history, 4th edition sees a distinctive increase in their prominence, notably by emphasizing the fey roots of elves and gnomes and by offering a redesigned cosmology in which the Land of Faerie is a very important and prominent plane. Fey creatures also saw a general thematic redesign in this edition to move them away from the more "cutesy Disney fairies and sexy nymphs" style of older edition, similar to the Shadow Fey of Ravenloft. | |

Cast From Hitpoints: Some rituals in 4e require spending healing surges, sometimes in addition to component costs. These surges can be contributed by those assisting in the ritual. An epic destiny in 4e provides a higher-risk option: Elf High Mage, which allows empowering a spell using hitpoints if the wizard has no healing surges left. | |

Damager, Healer, Tank | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_97d0ab1d | comment |
Damager, Healer, Tank: The concept of this trope goes all the way back to D&Ds founding, with the creation of the Fighter, Mage, Thief split. 4th edition made it overt by openly admitting that there were four major combat roles a class would fall into: Defender (front-row combatant that keeps the enemy at bay), Striker (high damage dealer), Leader (second-row combatant that supports the rest of the party) and Controller (multi-target damage and battlefield manipulation), and using this frame to construct classes, with the aim of avoiding the notorious problem from 3rd edition where classes varied widely in how effective they were in combat. Combat roles were also specifically stated in each class's write up to make it clear to players how a class was meant to be played. Defenders consist of the Fighter (Martial Defender), Paladin (Divine Defender), Warden (Primal Defender), Battlemind (Psionic Defender) and Swordmage (Arcane Defender). Strikers consist of the Ranger (Martial Striker), Rogue (Martial Striker), Sorcerer (Arcane Striker), Warlock (Arcane Striker), Avenger (Divine Striker), Monk (Psionic Striker) and Barbarian (Primal Striker). Leaders consist of the Cleric (Divine Leader), Runepriest (Divine Leader), Warlord (Martial Leader), Ardent (Psionic Leader), Bard (Arcane Leader), Artificer (Arcane Leader) and Shaman (Primal Leader). Controllers consist of the Wizard (Arcane Controller), Invoker (Divine Controller), Druid (Primal Controller), Seeker (Primal Controller) and Psion (Psionic Controller). | |

As Lethal as It Needs to Be: In 4th Edition, a melee attack is supposed to declare whether it was meant to be lethal or nonlethal. The latter just knocks the target unconscious rather than outright killing them, as if they were a player character that had gone down to zero HP instead. | |

"Neutral Good" and "Chaotic Good" are compressed into simply "Good," and likewise "Lawful Evil" and "Neutral Evil" are "Evil." Most ordinary people in a setting are presumed to be unaligned. | |

Resource Reimbursement: Overlap with Anti-Wastage Features: Once-per-encounter and once-per-day powers with the trait "Reliable" aren't expended when they miss, allowing the character to try again later in the fight. There is a "rebreather" build that attempts to exploit the trope. It involves a Dragonborn Sorcerer with a breath weapon, the dragon soul class feature to partially bypass enemy resistance, the Sensate character theme to gain temporary hit points when using dragon breath, the ancient soul feat to recharge dragon breath power when taking damage of the same type of the breath, and Nusemnee's Atonement to redirect damage from allies to yourself. The claim is that the chain of abilities allows recharging dragon breath and thus being able to use it three times per round. | |

Luck Manipulation Mechanic: The Elf race has an innate power that allows the player to re-roll a single attack roll during an encounter, though they must accept the second result. Most leader-type classes in Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition have powers that allows one to do this, such as the Bard's Unluck which allows him to swap an enemy good roll for a bad one and a friendly bad roll for a good one. Halflings have the power to force an enemy to re-roll a hit. In 4th Edition Eberron, the Dragonmark of Detection allows one to roll twice on perception checks and pick the best result. | |

| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_b5439b51 | comment |
Moveset Clone: The use of the explicit Damager, Healer, Tank combat roles system means that 4e classes are often criticized as being "samey". There is a certain overlap between classes of the same role, although they will usually try to put something of a unique spin on it; the Swordmage is a Defender but is better at close-to-midrange and is more encouraged to move around than the Fighter, who instead focuses on holding the line. Some go so far as to critic that all 4e classes play absolutely identically regardless of role, which is usually based on the fact that all combat abilities are written in a universal layout. Fans of the edition will typically deride those who make this latter complaint as never having actually played the game. | |

Obvious Rule Patch | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_b89ed08a | comment |
Obvious Rule Patch: The Ranger ability that let you make continual attacks until you miss was changed in the errata to have a hard limit of five attacks, as it was possible to make a build that had an almost zero chance of ever missing, even against the strongest monster in the Monster Manual, and simply wail on the target without any chance of having it strike back. The Ranger power "Unbalancing Parry" allowed the character to move an enemy behind them if they countered the enemy's attack. Unfortunately, the rules on forced movement specified that if the power didn't specifically state a maximum distance you could move an opponent, you could move them wherever you liked as long as they ended up on the square the power specified. This meant that the Ranger could "parry" the enemy through an entire battlefield, including impaling themselves on nearby spikes or entering fire hazards, as long as they ended up behind the Ranger. A similar problem with forced movement arose with a rule that banned forcing creatures to move upwards. This was intended to prevent launching creatures upwards and leaving them to fall back down and suffer damage, but an errata had to be issued to state that the existence of a rising slope or staircase on the ground did not prevent all forced movement by requiring it to include an upward component. The feat-based multiclassing system in 4th Edition allowed a character to gain a single ability from another class by taking a feat.. but also to then take a Paragon Path associated with that class. This resulted in the Pit Fighting Cleric, who took the Fighter multiclassing feat to take the Pit Fighter paragon path which allowed the character's Wisdom modifier to be added to damage - a small boost for an actual fighter, but a huge boost for a Cleric which is a Wisdom-based class. Errata'd by restricting the bonuses given by Paragon Path abilities to work only on abilities obtained from the original class the Paragon Path was connected to. | |

Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_bd2812b5 | comment |
Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: In 4th edition, when your characters reach max level (30), the rulebooks encourage them to do this so you can start new characters. Many of the Epic Destinies specifically shape how you ascend and to what higher plane, such as psychics being able to travel freely across time and space at will or becoming a Demiurge and going off to create their own multiverse, warlocks becoming an archfey or one of Hell's nobles, and wizards building their own world from scratch or become custodians of the "story of reality". | |

The Spartan Way | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_bf72d5e8 | comment |
The battle between the God of War, Bane, and the God of Savagery, Gruumsh. Bane is a strict, disciplined soldier who believes in The Spartan Way, while Gruumsh is the living embodiment of unbridled Unstoppable Rage. Gruumsh wants Bane's title. The kicker is that the other gods, even the good ones, recognize that Bane is truly the more evil(he plans on getting rid of that nasty little free will problem, and sponsor Gruumsh against him, figuring that if nothing else, they'll keep each other occupied. | |

Ki Manipulation | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_c948fd40 | comment |
Ki Manipulation: Initially, the 4th edition designers wanted to include Ki as a power source alongside Arcane, Divine, Martial, Primal and Psionic. However, in practice, they found themselves struggling to define it meaningfully as anything other than "The Asian Power Source". As a result, the Ki source was abandoned and instead Monks were folded into the Psionic power source, with their Supernatural Martial Arts described as a unique pathway of unlocking and channeling mental energies, hence why they differed from the traditional psychic. | |

Magic Staff: In 4th edition, magic staves can be used both as weapons and as a means of empowering magic attacks, if you happen to belong to one of the few classes that allows it. Also, some wizards can get defense bonuses for using one, possibly by spinning it if you choose to think of it that way. | |

| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_ca04edd6 | comment |
Charles Atlas Superpower: Pretty much the entire point of Epic Levels (i.e. level 21 and higher). By training long enough and defeating enough monsters, any fighter or rogue or barbarian can attain a balance check high enough to walk safely upon clouds, or a tumble check high enough to survive re-entry into the atmosphere, or gain the ability to turn invisible while standing in the open under broad daylight. They're just that good. | |

| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_d37c028d | comment |
World Half Empty: In 4E, there is no longer such a thing as an Always Lawful Good race, but there are tons of Always Chaotic Evil ones. Metallic dragons and other good creatures are now Unaligned (neutral), and many formerly neutral ones are now mostly evil. Good is a very, very rare individual choice. (Although any creature can make that choice now; almost nothing in 4E is "genetically" evil.) | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: Earlier editions' Vancian Magic limited low-level spellcasters to a handful of spells per day, after which they became a Squishy Wizard that was all Squishy and no Wizard. 4th introduced a "Level 0" tier of spells called cantrips that can be cast an infinite number of times per day, and often have effects that scale with character level to prevent them from being Useless Useful Spells. | |

Our Dragons Are Different | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_d88e125e | comment |
Our Dragons Are Different: 4th edition notably changed up both the traditional Chromatic and Metallic Dragon setups from earlier editions of D&D. Chromatics were expanded with the Brown, Gray and Purple Dragons, whilst Metallics were no longer Always Lawful Good, the Bronze and Brass were pushed aside in favor of new Adamantine and Iron Dragons, and a wide variety of new Metallics were added in the form of Cobalt, Mercury, Mithral, Orium and Steel. Also, the Gem Dragons made no appearance, with their traditional role as "Dragon Family #3" instead being taken up by the elemental Catastrophic Dragons (Avalanche, Blizzard, Earthquake, Tornado, Typhoon, Wildfire, Volcano). | |

Diagonal Speed Boost | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_e19da456 | comment |
Diagonal Speed Boost: In 4th edition. To simplify the movement rules, moving one square diagonally counts as one square, and one square only, leading to the speed boost. Most of the earlier editions have a slight diagonal speed penalty, in that moving one square diagonally counts as 1.5 squares. In 5e, moving diagonally alternates: The first square is 5 feet, the second is 10 feet, the third is 5 feet again, etc. | |

Mundane Utility | |
| Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (Tabletop Game) / int_eff83d77 | comment |
Mundane Utility: Downplayed. The division of many spells traditionally used for this trope into Ritual Magic was meant to keep players from simply using magic to solve every single problem. There are still plenty of ritual spells that do complete mundane tasks, and the wizard maintains a unique magical ability called Prestidigitation that is largely defined by its ability to achieve minor conveniences, such as lighting fires or cleaning grime from the body, but it's no longer as pronounced as it was in earlier editions. | |
