Bane 5.5e 2024 vs. 5e 2014 edition differences
The 2024 version adds "up to" to duration, includes warlock as a class, specifies "each make a Charisma saving throw," and states "subtract 1d4" instead of "roll a d4 and subtract." The higher-level slot effect wording is simplified but functionally similar.
