Classes should be meaningful. A class is the game's answer to "What character do you play?". You can have a class without many mechanics (V:tM clans), you can have a class without its own mechanics (Shadowrun Archetypes), but you cannot have a class with a meaningful image and story. Or maybe...

For the casting method? In that case, everyone is a Spirit Shaman in 5e. Making a subclass with Chastise Spirits, Ghost Touch and Gaseous Form wouldn't be too hard either though.

Maybe, but more limited. Give casters with "domains" a domain slot and Wizards a school slot, like specialist Wizards used to have.

What does this have to do with Reactions? Warlord spends action, to have another character attack. Where is a Reaction involved?

With everything going to Mage, I'd really like a Swordmage class with more Whack less Spells / day and access to the same subclasses and sub-subclasses as Mage. That way we could turn the Warlock into Hexblade, the Psion into Psychic Warrior etc.

What is this "mandatory Wizard training" you speak of?

Paragon Paths basically were the same as subclasses, only they start at level 11. Most require a certain class, but some had other prerequisites like race. That was possible because all classes had their "empty" levels in the same places. You count as a member of all classes you have an MC feat...

That's not quite what they said.

Subclass for Fighter starts at level 3.

Of course, warlock is sometimes considered the male word for witch. Although I prefer your interpretation.

How much a language is worth is certainly dependent on who the campaign. Same with lores. I certainly think, play gets better, when Comprehend Language is more akin to Google Translate.

I agree. But "college" and "of valor" do not go together very well. Shall we imagine a bardic college that has VALOR written above the door? Will a bard say: "I have graduated the College of Valor?" I could understand College of Waterdeep or Silverhand College or anything like that. But that...

College of Valor??? What's wrong with Bardic Virtues, if they stick with the same set?

I'd move them to three. Clerics get their defining feature, Channel Divinity, at level 3. And the OP's reasoning about dieties vs. domains makes sense to me.

There currently are no specialists for weponized save or suck effects. While enchanters get useful abilities, most of them just make the suck longer, not more reliable. So they are especially useful outside of combat, but won't help you, when the show is already running. Level 16 is the...

I don't think Sorcerers will get the same Arcane Traditions as Wizards do. Wizard Schools appear to sub-subclasses to Wizardry. Scribe Scroll and Brew Potion are a bit odd, though. And why can't the Druid do the cauldraun?

In time, we will probably drown in subclasses.

"Regardless of what your doing" is probably meant to be "as long as you make at least one attack", but taking it literally would have interesting consequences.

That is certainly true.

That has been changed. For Paladins and Rangers it's now 1+ Level/2. Also several classes have additional spells available based on their subclass (Clerics, Rangers, Druids). So, "Determine your available spells based on your classes" might actually be easier. They probably require several...
