D&D 5E Updated Xanathar Guide Info

[MechaTarrasque]

According to https://www.sageadvice.eu/2017/09/0...isitive-circle-of-dreams-cavalier-race-feats/, the cavalier has been heavily revised and won't use superiority dice.

The only real new info is the circle of dreams druid is in and the only feats are the racial ones, not the skill ones which is disappointing to me. Honestly I'd trade the randomized background thing for more feats, spells, and subclasses.

A version of the spear feat needs to be in that book hopefully without a +1 but a +1 to strength or dex

I hated the racial feats idea but I am odd I guess

Wow, those dice where like 90% of the class, like the Undying light patron becoming the celestial patron, that is a massive change.

The lesson here is that we shouldn't assume we know what the finally subclass looks like in XGE, it appears that XGE has some surprises yet.

In fact some subclasses have changed so much that they might as well be new subclasses.

I don't know, I kinda felt Volvo's was a must have.

Here are my guesses.

Cleric: (Arcana Domain from the SCAG)
Rogue: (Swashbuckler from the SCAG)
Sorceror: (Storm Sorceror from the SCAG)
Warlock: (Undying from the SCAG)

Swashbuckler has been mostly confirmed and arcana domain and storm sorcerer are obvious, but i doubt that the fourth one will be Undying patron warlock. Why? It's probably one of the least popular subclasses in SCAG and found to be meh by most players. There was also nothing supporting it in the UA articles, while an UA only patron (seeker) goit some actual support. So i don't think we will be seeing it in XGtE.

A far greater possibility is the Oath of The Crown for paladins.

Wizard: Theurge

I really hope it isn't the Theurge.

Same here. i hope we get a cleaned up and better balanced version of the lore master. It seems also be a high possibility, because a lot of people have been wanting a "generalist wizard."

 

[Grakarg]

Artificer maybe? I hope there is a good version of that, as all the playtest ones have been lacking.

Artificer is going to be a separate class and not in XGtE. Hopefully they will have an update to it and mystic in DMsguild..

You get so much more bang for your Buck with the Theurge, besides the Lore Wizard was way too unpopular and hated, so if it's not the, Theurge, it'll be the War Mage.
