新的職業會包括 "一項能力值 +2 或 兩項能力值 +1 或 一項專長" 的能力。
為了跟能力加值持平，專長效果也大增。例：
Great Weapon Master
Benefit: You gain proficiency in heavy martial weapons.
When you make a melee attack with a weapon, you can take a –5 penalty to the attack roll to double your damage with that attack.
When you score a critical hit with a melee weapon or reduce a creature to 0 hit points with a melee weapon, you can make one additional melee attack as a part of the same action. The attack granted by this feat cannot trigger another attack from this feat.
Heavy Armor Master
Prerequisite: Proficiency with medium armor
Benefit: You have proficiency with heavy armor.
When you are wearing heavy armor, you have a +1 bonus to AC, and you reduce all bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage you take by an amount equal to your Constitution modifier.
MM 已經確認下次改版應該會包括新版專長，同時也會引入新的等級曲線 - 據悉目前的五版一級大約等於新版的三級。第一個能力值/專長選項目前通常在等級四出現。
