Warrior: Not-overtly-supernatural martial combatant built around combat maneuvers. Starts out more as an individually-focused damage-dealer but becomes more and more of a support/leader-of-armies type as it progresses into the later levels. Default fluff is, well, a pure martial - skill and...

AHR-tuh-FISS-uhr - as has been said, like "artifice" with an R on the end...but because that R adds an extra syllable, the third syllable is naturally given more emphasis than the unemphasized "schwa" sounds surrounding it.

In reading through this thread, I'm realizing that my concept of what the Bard's archetype is is a fair bit different from most of the rest of the people posting here, including the OP, which means my answer might need a bit more explanation. For me, the core of the Bard lies in the types of...

In no particular order: Halo Theme - Martin O'Donnell, Michael Salvatori Lean On Me - Bill Withers The Sound of Silence - Disturbed New Divide - Linkin Park The Violence - Rise Against

The sense I've gotten is that most of the Netflix shows that get canceled or rushed to wrap up early are new IPs - those series are all there's been, now they're all there will be. Netflix-based shows based on already-existing IPs have had a better track record: She-Ra did 5 seasons, Castlevania...

As far as the (MCU, or MCU-adjacent) ones I've seen: 1) Cloak and Dagger. Second season was a bit weaker than the first, and it's possible it might have lost its luster somewhat if it had gone on longer, but on average it was really damn good. I'm still sad it got canceled, but the fact that...

Pragmatic ideal: Artificer Bard Berserker Cleric Druid Monk Paladin Ranger Rogue Sorcerer Warlock Warrior Wizard (With the recent, extensive class survey, I expect the anniversary PHB's changes to be focused on optimization/alteration of the existing classes, rather than the addition or removal...

I'm mostly just disappointed that, because of the UA's timeframe, WotC taking a shot with these subclasses and whiffing means that there's no opportunity to whip up Ravnica-style subclasses (traditional single-class subclasses that line up with the flavor of specific factions but still work fine...

Well that's just canon.

With the UA dropping soon enough, might as well take a shot at predicting what'll be in it: Circle of Patterns Druid. Could also see a Numeromancer Wizard, but Wizards in general already line up well with esoteric magical research (best Wizard subclass fits are Conjuration, Transmutation, and...

Whoever slots into the "main character" role (or the closest thing in an ensemble cast) will almost certainly be a human, regardless of how varied the rest of the cast is - for audience relatability reasons as much as marketing ones. I'm also fairly confident there will be a tiefling in the...

By number of episodes, probably Red vs Blue. By actual showtime, probably Critical Role. Though personally, I don't consider length of existing material to be a downside? If I like something enough to keep watching it, more existing material means that there's more to keep watching; if the idea...

The inconsistency with which spells have been assigned to schools comes to mind: There's no reason for Darkness to not be an Illusion spell - or at least, no good reason. Speak with Animals, Beast Bond, and Tongues are Divination spells; Message and Speak with Plants are Transmutation spells...

Nah. Rangers are skilled experts that do most of their work on the fringes of civilization, and succeed in combat by identifying and exploiting the weak points of their enemies, rather than through straight-up might or martial prowess. Ranger should be a Rogue subclass.

Reprints: Artificer - Alchemist, Artillerist, Battle Smith Bard - Eloquence Cleric - Order Druid - Spores Paladin - Glory Wizard - Bladesinger (with some changes; we don't know how big those changes are) Assuming that all of the subclasses are from the same continuous run (Astral Self and Wild...

I suspect a lot of it has to do with "we currently have too many classes" being included as an option on the poll. Every other way the topic is phrased in the OP treats it as purely additive: either the number of classes should stay the same, or the number of classes should increase. But as...

It's both, in pretty much equal measure. I saw someone point out, a while back, that the D&D alignment system lines up perfectly with White's relationship with its enemy colors: White sees itself as the Good to Black's Evil, and as the Lawful to Red's Chaotic.

I wasn't thinking about planeswalkers in the context of intro decks, but just as...cards in the set. My thought process was just "this is replacing a core set, core sets normally include five 'walkers at mythic, by default I'm going to assume the same is true of this set." There might not end...

I've been in this boat for about as long as I've been aware that D&D had a class called the Fighter. Warrior's a far better name for the concept. With how many books have been written about the guy, I would've figured Driz'zt would fall under the Jodah Rule by now. (Basically, if you've been...

Zendikar would be a fundamentally weird place to get a D&D setting book for, because of how much of the plane's creative DNA comes from D&D - the introduction to Plane Shift Zendikar in the link above says as much. It's not that it wouldn't work, it's just that its shtick as a Magic world is...
