Oh, yeah, and just to pile on...the 'Clockwork" sorcerer is just a ridiculous thematically ludicrous idea for the class.
Alright so all the classes (and subclasses) have been announced.
So where did WOTC mess up? Which “essential” subclass was given the shaft?
However to keep this fun and fair, you have to choose a subclass you would have dropped. The “4 subclasses per class” rule still applies.
To start, I’ll stay I would have swapped the light cleric and put in the thunder domain. I think life and light often are lumped into the same “goody goody” gods, and my players have always loved thunder, its the most common cleric I’ve seen at my table.
So what are yours?
Yeah I couldn't think of anything really for monk and it has been a while since I really looked at long death monk. As far as fighter I would love a darker fighter subclass. So many "black knight" concepts for better with the Paladin.Probably Spirits over Whispers. I like the Ranger Monster Slayer choice here – they're the one HUNTING the other Monsters. Monk would need heavy revisions to Long Death, and it's more of a campaign setting monastic tradition… I'd love a proper shadowy Fighter subclass. Eberron's Bone Knight?
No way. It's such a good subclass.Oh, yeah, and just to pile on...the 'Clockwork" sorcerer is just a ridiculous thematically ludicrous idea for the class.
Of course Doc Brown would say that!No way. It's such a good subclass.
There's a theme here I feel...I would have preferred
Barbarian: Ancestors over Zealot
Ranger: Monster Hunter opposed to Fay Wanderer
Sorcerer: shadow instead of clockwork,
Warlock Undead not Divine
Wizard: necromancer vs abjurer
Swap whisper bard for spirits bard and WotC can take my moneyWith how they have it right now however I think they have a great opportunity to have all of the "dark" subclasses in one book.
Barbarian: Beast
Bard: Whisper
Cleric: Death
Druid: Spore
Fighter: ???
Monk: Long Death ???
Paladin: Oathbreaker
Ranger: Monster Hunter ???
Rogue: Phantom
Sorcerer: Shadow
Warlock: Undead
Wizard: Necromancer
