Guidance 5e 2024 vs. 2014 edition differences

The 2024 version allows choosing a specific skill for the bonus, while the 2014 version lets the target add the d4 to any ability check without restriction. The 2024 version's duration is "up to 1 minute," but functionally similar to the 2014 version's 1-minute duration.
