New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

Five existing D&D subclasses are getting a rework in a newly released Unearthed Arcana. Four of the subclasses come from Xanathar’s Guide to Everything, while the fifth is the Oathbreaker subclass for Paladins from the 2014 Player’s Handbook.

The revised subclasses are:

• Path of the Spiritual Guardian Barbarian (previously Path of the Ancestral Guardian)
• Path of the Storm Herald Barbarian
• Cavalier Fighter
• Warrior of Intoxication Monk (formerly Way of the Drunken Master)
• Oathbreaker Paladin

The Path of the Spiritual Guardian has received a revamped Spiritual Protectors ability with a choice of effects. The Storm Herald’s Storm Aura now scales with Rage damage and the Raging Storm now has redesigned environments. The Cavalier’s Unwavering Mark no longer has limited uses. The Warrior of Intoxication now has the ability to create potent drinks that grant abilities when drank. The Oathbreaker has received some updates bringing its abilities in line with the revamped Paladin’s ability.

The survey for the new subclasses opens on November 6th.

I'm guessing Drunken Master or Drunk Monk didn't sounds right to someone.

I am sure that the sensitivity readers wanted Master gone.

Ours dislike it too and highlight it anytime someone says that someone has mastered a subject.

That last sentence takes sensitivity much too far.

Hmm, interesting take...

Are they offended by the Drunken Master ( Wu Song was the first, but many times they now also refer to So Chan) or the Martial Art Zui Quan?

Drunken Boxing

Do they hate the Chinese or something? Do they feel the Chinese are offensive or that their ideas are offensive?

Do they hate Jackie Chan?

Legend of the Drunken Master

Do they feel Hong Kong is offensive to traditional Chinese?

What did the sensitivity readers find offensive?

The word “Master.”

That is the word that our readers often change/remove.

Wow, that is above and beyond. Anyone tells my neuro-divergent kid he can't say "mastered", often gradeschool language... they have a chance at a rearranged

The game is to be offended for people that are not offended themselves.

I can’t think of anything more condescending.

You’re not mad about it and let me tell you why you should be? Gtfo already

Mod note:
Hey.

You don't like what someone has to say? That's okay.

We can even accept that you are offended by their being offended when you think they
should not be. It isn't clear that you saying they shouldn't be is really any different than them saying you should be - both of you are now just trying to tell others how to feel, or not feel. But whatever.

Either way, you most certainly need to discuss this in respectful manner, or not at all.
