Changes from D&D 5e

EverQuest, the game Norrath comes from, is not connected to any edition of Dungeons & Dragons, but they share very similar origins. There was even an EverQuest tabletop RPG where much of the lore on this site comes from. This version of Norrath, however, was designed to be a setting for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, and as a result, there have been some modifications to both systems to make it fit. Mechanically, there are as few changes as possible to keep the gameplay intact, but thematically some things have had to change. When a change is needed to fit something in, the effort was made to have it stay as close to the D&D source as possible with as few changes as possible to it and Norrath to make it work. Below is a non-comprehensive list of changes that will constantly be updated as the world is fleshed out.
