			'''Eldritch Invocations''' Moved to 1st level. Also put number gained in the table. Lots of changes to many invocations.

			'''Pact Magic''' As people have said; now talks about a patron but choice doesn't come till 3rd level!

			'''Pact Boon''' Removed as its own thing, they are now Invocations, with substantial changes. Pact of the Tome now includes Book of Ancient Secrets!

			'''Expanded Spell List''' Changes: Sending > Hunger of Hadar, Dominate Beast > Confusion, Evard’s Black Tentacles > Summon Aberration, Dominate Person > Modify Memory.

			'''Awakened Mind''' Now works both ways, uses a Bonus Action and from then on you have a distance of miles and a duration of minutes.

			'''Psychic Spells''' Allows you to change damage type to Psychic. And cast Enchantment or Illusion spells, without Verbal or Somatic components.

			'''Clairvoyant Combatant''' replaces '''Entropic Ward'''! Quite powerful, giving advantage to yourself and disadv to the other, but once per SR.

			'''Eldritch Hex''' New, Hex spell always prepared but also gives disadvantage on saves made with the ability!

			'''Create Thrall''' Certainly a lot less messy than the old version.

			Mentioning it here but it's a general thing; they removed so much background info and flavor, now there's so much less roleplaying info, not good for newbies. Here the explanation of the oaths is incredibly lacking compared to 2014, bad, bad move.

			'''Channel Divinity''' Turn the Faithless has been removed completely. '''Nature's Wrath''' is now 15 feet and multiple creatures.

			'''Aura of Warding''' Nerfed a bit; now give Resistance to Necrotic, Psychic, and Radiant damage, but not just from spells. Tied to Aura of Protection size.

 '''Self-Restoration''' Combines Stillness of Mind and Purity of Body. No more immunity to disease, not the worst, certainly enough flavor left.
-'''Higher Levels''' Interestingly they changed a lot here. No more knowing all languages, invisibility, astral projection, no old age. Makes sense as they are going away from the stereotypical Asian monk. And some of these things are folded into subclasses. And the new additions are quite good.
