If you were designing a new 5e subclass off of one of the many prestige classes that 3e had to offer, which ones do you think would make a good 5e subclass? The 3e Prestige class can be from WoTC or a 3pp such as Legendary Games.

Malls and Monsters? :p You know, the modern-day version of D&D? ;)

If the poll was just between subclasses and multiclassing, I would go with subclasses because some of them allow you to 'lean' into another class without the need to multiclass. There just needs to be more of the former in 5e. Preferably by converting the 3e Prestige classes into subclasses.

If minor magical items were not included, feats would probably beat out multiclassing. Not everyone likes multiclassing or is likely to allow it at their tables. Feats in 5e are okay but again do require some thought when a PC gets the option to choose between them and an ASI at key levels.

Multiclassing. Half of my group (including myself) are currently playing multiclassed characters. Despite the obvious drawback to multiclassing in D&D, they do add some versatility to the game. Feats are okay, but you really need to think about which feats you want for your character. Magic...

Then there are the near-endless debates about certain aspects/editions of D&D. :p

I visit EN World several times a day to see what's new in the gaming industry, and to socialize with others on those forum threads that have caught my interest.

@Crimson Longinus 's idea of a Linguistics skill could be that game mechanic. It could also be expanded to cover written and sign languages as well. These spells remind me of those Young Justice cartoon episodes where Miss Martian would telepathically link everyone together so that they could...

Guess we will find out when the FR Player's Guide and the FR Adventures Guide comes out in the November of this year. Only 8 months or so away. The latter might have a bestiary of monsters that are unique to only the FR setting.

You do realize what this means, right? ;) Another fun-filled survey thread.

I doubt that WoTC is going to make another crunchy MM any time soon. There is, however, Level Up's Monstrous Menagerie. Same monsters as WoTC's MM, but a lot more complex, versatile and fun to throw at your players.

Level up Adventurer's Guide, page 493: The formal, classical spell schools are not the only way magic-users throughout the ages have labeled spells. In the multiverse there is a near-infinite array of spell schools; some are based on elemental sources (like beasts, fire, plants, shadow, water...

Are there any spells aside from Fear that we have to get emotional about?

There are a couple of spells in Level Up and in D&D that can generate an emotion in an individual such as Fear, but I think they would fall under the psychic school/tag as they are trying to bring about a mental change.

I am sure that Level Up will eventually get around to filling in those holes. ;) They're sort of like PF1's Focused Arcane Schools.

The Monster Manual Expanded books can also be found on Drive Thru RPG. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/267678/monster-manual-expanded-5e?keyword=Monster%20Manual%20Expanded

@dave2008 beat me to it.

Level Up goes well beyond the 8 schools of Magic in D&D. (1) acid, (2) affliction, (3) air, (4) arcane,(5) attack, (6) beasts, (7) chaos, (8) cold, (9) communication, (10) compulsion, (11) divine, (12) earth, (13) enhancement, (14) evil, (15) fear, (16) fire, (17) force, (18) good, (19)...

Fizban's Treasury of Dragons aka Draconomicon 5e.

I know that someone on DMsGuild a while back created their own Expanded Monster Manuals for 5e. What's WoTC's excuse? :p
