5E's a lot easier and more casual friendly, it's still easy to fuck up the gameplay though. Table to table preference there really.

I've homebrewed so much that it's practically a new game tbh, heroic fantasy ez mode doesn't sit well with me. I prefer warhammer fantasy roleplay's grimdark feel, shit like criticals that can explode on you. So even a goblin with a shortbow could get a lucky shot in that just KO's you, or you could absolutely destroy a dragon in a single crit etc. It adds a lot of tension, encourages strategy and combat avoidance.

Tweaked XP gain too, so it's not just "Kill a thing, get XPs, level up totally irrelevant shit" which only encourages combat if you want to level up.

Give this a skim sometime, I've gotten some interesting things from this guy
