We have a new UA release with two subclasses. The College of Spirits Bard is a fortune teller or spirit medium type character with a big random effect table. Meanwhile the Undeath Pact Warlock is a a do-over of the Undying Pact Warlock.
I'm wondering if a few options that we pegged for the Q4 book might end up in a later goth book; the death stealer rogue and beast Barbarian both feel like they might fit the theme.I think that because this is coming out so soon before a November release, and due to the flavor differences that this is meant for a different setting.

That is highly dependent on the DM. The CR and XP guidelines are guidelines, not rules; the DM is perfectly free to add more monsters without putting a "house rule" sticker on the campaign.I agree with most of what you say, but disagree with this conclusion. Combat in 5e is easy, so there is no point in min-maxing for it. The party will win whatever, the only difference min-maxing makes is it might be over a round earlier.
Are you still stalking me?
Maybe. They do fit in theme, but the Phantom Rogue did mention Shadar-Kai, so that makes me think they could go in a Planescape book. The Beast Barbarian could also fit in a Planescape book if they reflavored it to be like the Beastlands, but it currently doesn't have that theme, and fits more with these 2 new subclasses.I'm wondering if a few options that we pegged for the Q4 book might end up in a later goth book; the death stealer rogue and beast Barbarian both feel like they might fit the theme.

Yeah.Well, the thing about Planescape is that stuff can come from anywhere, and better yet for WotC purposes, go anywhere. A Genie Warlock is planar themed, but can fit in Waterdeep, no problem.
