A lot of stuff changed when the edition updated two years ago. The vast majority stayed the same, but enough small things changed that sometimes it's hard to remember. This macro was written to help ease the transition. It's basically a list of those changes, showing what the current 5.5e rule is, and for context, what it used to be in 5e. In some cases it includes compendium links. It used to have a lot more, but compendium anchor linking in the VTT still isn't quite up to snuff. The macro doesn't list changes to character building, or individual spells ( I have a script for that ), but the general rules that are likely to trip you up while playing the game. If anyone finds this useful, and can come up with more general rules that I've missed, please let me know. Here is the text of the macro. And here is a screen shot of what it looks like in action:
