[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9134253, member: 18"] For me Brawler Fighter is theoretically awesome, but the actual current design is lacking. That you can't use your bonus action unarmed attack to punch someone is top tier ridiculous design, just absolutely laughable stuff that flies straight against the archetype it's supposed to be portraying. Dancer Bard is a bit more together mechanically. They are, of all classes, I think the one most likely to have a good unarmoured AC, because Bards naturally tend to want CHA and DEX, whereas Barbarians do not really want a DEX above 14 (as all their abilities are explicitly STR-only), and WIS is sorta-kinda a waste to go much into as a Monk (unless you're the Astral subclass), because so little goes off it, and unlike Brawlers, Dancers are allowed to use their Unarmed Attack, to well, Attack, and do more damage than Brawlers too (including with ones not triggered by Bardic Inspiration). Their other abilities aren't bad either. Definitely glad both are in conceptually though. I'd say them, Ocean Druid and Worldtree Barb (which needs to be able to give itself THP, it's just overcautious design right now) are my favourite new subclasses. [/QUOTE]
