Mike Mearls responds: Any chance we’ll see a 5e incarnation of the Warden?
At https://www.sageadvice.eu/2018/03/07/any-chance-well-see-a-5e-incarnation-of-the-warden/, Mike Mearls was asked "Hey Mike, any chance we'll see a 5E incarnation of the Warden? I loved that class so much in 4E, and I'm eager to see it come back!", and he responded:
"It was one of my favorite classes! Depending on how the druid of spores goes, we might see about subclasses that mess with druid shapechange or barbarian rage; easiest match mechanics wise for warden subclass."
The warden was my favorite 4e melee class (not the least of which because I mined the "forms of" powers for gimmicks for guardinels, pre-4e eladrin, and a "one with Mt. Celestia" version of the pre-4e archons that I was particularly proud of), so I hope this comes about (he mentioned on a different sequence that he wanted to do something with primal spirits, and this seems a good candidate for that).
