[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 9389867, member: 7023840"] Long thread, brief thoughts- 1. It seems that they are going all-in on "psionics" (aka, the spell system psionics) and "fey" by adding explicit subclasses in the core rules. 2. Most classes are keeping their core identity subclasses. Usually two. 3. Barbarian is an exception; not sure how I feel about the thematic overlap between Berserker and Zealot. 4. I always loved the idea of the trickery domain for clerics, but not so much the execution. 5. Monk keeps its core three identities (Open Hand - kung fu, Shadow- ninja, Four Elements- anime blaster) and adds Mercy, which is niche but also the best subclass they made for it. 6. Ranger gets Gloom Stalker, which is popular. 7. Warlock is missing hexblade, but this might be within pact of blade (I think). 8. And Rogue and Fighter both seem a little hamstrung by tradition; Thief, Assassin, and Arcane Trickster (for rogue) and Champion, Battle Master, and Eldritch Knight (for fighter) are iconic, but then we're just getting the psionic subclass.
