#2 cowleymen Oct 26, 2014 16:11:29	Uhm yes. You can find 3.5 pdfs online, but they do not match up ti each other at all. For the example., a 20th level fighter in 5th might have a total of +11 to hit, while a 3.5 fighter will pass that number up at level 3 or 4
#3 Ashrym Oct 26, 2014 17:32:48	You can also get your friends who are using 3.5 to try 5e because you have a starter set and phb, and there are free pdf's online for them.

Overall 5E is designed to be simpler than 3.5E.   The free PDF basic rules, which are pretty comprehensive but don't have all the classes or spells (or mutliclass/feat rules) are here: http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/basicrules
