D&D (2024) Upcoming One D&D: Unearthed Arcana 'Expert' Classes (Bard, Ranger, Rogue)

WotC has posted a video describing the upcoming Unearthed Arcana playtest document which will feature three of the core character classes, each with a single subclass.


This document is the second in a series of Unearthed Arcana articles that present material designed for the next version of the Player's Handbook. The material here uses the rules in the

2014 Player's Handbook, except where noted. Providing feedback on this document is one way you can help shape the next generation of D&D!

Inside you'll find the following content:

Expert Classes. Three Classes appear in this document, each one a member of the Expert Group: the Bard, the Ranger, and the Rogue. Each Class appears with one Subclass. More Subclasses will appear in Unearthed Arcana in the months ahead.

Feats. Feats follow the Class descriptions, particularly feats available to the classes in this document.

Spell Lists. Three Spell lists-the Arcane, Divine, and Primal lists-are featured here. The Ranger uses the Primal list, and the Bard potentially uses all three, thanks to the Magical Secrets feature.

Rules Glossary. In this document, any term in the body text that is underlined appears in a glossary at the end. The glossary defines game terms that have been clarified or redefined for this playtest or that don't appear in the 2014 Player's Handbook.

Relatedly, Bard has no business being in the Expert category. They're a full caster that does caster things, and should've never gotten Expertise to begin with. But, it's not like they could leave a possible niche for martials.
Alternatively, Bards could be turned into Half-Casters similar to Artificers (getting spellcasting at level 1, cantrips, non-spell magical features similar to Warlock Invocations).
 





Why would they care about specific opinio s they would have to parse and analyze? Numbers are what bring in the bucks.

Because you are interested in what your customers think. There might also be an idea in it.
You can have an AI that can sort them by keywords.
They did this during DnDnext and it did not hurt them.

Why have a comment field if you don't use it in some way. Hey, they can even get some volunteer to read them for free and give them a recollection of the general thoughts. Just for the chance to help shape the future of their hobby....
