Overall fan response has been positive, with some praising the return to a more roleplaying-based system based on in-universe-justified abilities, as well as the reduction of overly-complex rules, and the number of character options no longer being "choice-paralysis-inducingly huge". However, complaints exist about an excessively small amount of character options (mostly in the early years), an alleged return to LinearWarriorsQuadraticWizards, poor and slow post-launch support compared to prior editions, Ranger and Sorcerer fans complaining that those classes are relatively less powerful, and less intricate character building compared to 3rd edition. Despite these complaints, 5th Edition has been a major reason for D&D's resurgence in the 2010s and beyond.
In an effort to get the game in as many hands as possible, Wizards has released free "Basic Rules" [=PDFs=] containing a fully functional subset of the rules via their website. The idea is that one can use them to play basic games with the four archetypical races (Dwarf, Elf, Halfling and Human) and classes (Cleric, Fighter, Rogue and Wizard), as well as a handful of monsters and treasure, and will eventually buy books to get the rest of the stuff.
''Unearthed Arcana'' made a return in February 2015 as a monthly ([[ScheduleSlip at first]]) web publication instead of a supplement book. Just like the "Basic Rules", ''Unearthed Arcana'' articles are available for free on the Wizards website. The articles are stated to be "written in pencil, not ink", meaning that the contents are still work-in-progress until they're officially released in sourcebooks. Due to a reputation for unbalanced-ness, many [=DM=]s refuse to allow UA content at their tables.
As a show of good faith to the digital distribution market and the Open-Gaming License, [=WotC=] started their own storefront, the [[http://www.dmsguild.com/ Dungeon Masters Guild]], which allows fans to self-publish their own material and [=WotC=] to publish both [=PDFs=] of all the past TSR/[=WotC=] releases from the "Original" Edition through 4th Edition and new Adventurers League content. As of November 2016, they've started a print-on-demand service so people can get physical copies of select TSR products.

Most post-creation exclusives are gone, but multiclassing has returned to 3rd edition standards and feats are completely optional, fewer in number but much more powerful and robust than before. Roleplaying and flavor have been increased in importance, with the old 2nd edition alignment system restored and canonical D&D characters from related media being used as examples of their respective classes, alignments and backgrounds. Pinning down the primary world for Fifth Edition is a bit dodgy: while the core books are mostly written in a multiverse view and adaptable to any setting, most of the official adventures are set in the ''TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms''.

** All but a handful of cantrips have no effect if the target succeeds on the saving throw against them. This is done for the sake of game balance, since cantrips can be cast an infinite number of times a day; if they did damage on a successful saving throw, players could just resort to CherryTapping. Higher-level spells can only be cast a few times, but usually cause half damage if a target succeeds on a saving throw instead.
** The Disintegrate spell. If the target fails the saving throw, they take a large amount of force damage, which not many enemies have resistance or immunity to. In addition, if this damage is enough to reduce the target's HP to zero, their body disintegrates into a pile of ash, rendering them KilledOffForReal and preventing regeneration. Disintegrate is also notable in 5e because it only does damage on a failed saving throw -- this allows it to ignore the Evasion ability, since Evasion only prevents damage from a Dexterity saving throw if the ability does half damage on a miss, and Disintegrate always causes full damage. However, the 'nothing' comes in if the target succeeds on the saving throw; if the check is passed, then Disintegrate does nothing at all -- no damage, no effects, no penalties, ''nothing''.
