What changed for classes in the 2024 D&D rules
This compares the mechanical fields — the ones that change how something behaves at the table. It deliberately does not report that the wording changed: the 2024 SRD rewrote almost every spell description into a new format, so “the text is different” is true of nearly everything and tells you nothing.
A field is skipped where either edition leaves it blank, because that is a gap in the source data rather than a change to the game.
Classes that changed (2)
Compared on: Hit die, Spellcasting, Saving throws.
| Classe | What | 2014 | 2024 |

New in 2024 (4)
In 2014 but not 2024 (4)
Absent from the 2024 SRD. That is not the same as removed from the game — the SRD is a subset of what the books publish.
