D&D (2024) D&D 5.11 - the time of big change is over

Even though it probably didn't get a "wow" reaction from the community I thought standardizing what levels every class gets subclass features was a good move for streamlining the game. It could also allow things like subclasses that work across multiple classes.

back when Ravnaca was coming out they tried to make subclasses for multiple classes and couldn't. This would make that possible.
Imagine a fighter taking Assassin for the auto crit on surprise, that doesn't sound so bad or a rogue taking battlemaster to make a duelist swashbuckler.
the problem is I imagine a wizard asking for the life domain to add healing, or anyone asking for diviner so they can have dice to trade around.

Between this and the Strixhaven subclass UA, there is a designer on the D&D team who has watched their dream of mix and match subclasses fully go up in smoke.

That is sad. I had a whole slew of ideas for that back then and even during the playtest.

Yeah, that's not happening any time in the foreseeable future. But honestly, if people don't want it, they don't want it.

As much as I'd love to have subclasses across classes, more streamlining is the last thing I want to see. Because 'streamline' always seems to come down to cutting the edges off the square peg so it gets in the damn round hole for the current philosophy..

Strixhaven, that's right not Ravnica. I forgot they were all like hogworts house subclasses

Ive been disinterested in what 1DND has shaped up to be for a lot of reasons, but my #1 dealbreaker was what they did to the Ranger and that was day 1.

I don’t understand deal breakers. As mentioned previously I hate the current Warlock build but I just don’t play one.

Treantmonk just posted a video on YouTube about Jeremy saying things that were not WOW! popular will most likely be reverted to the 2014 versions (subclass cited as an example). I want to discuss the nature of what revisions we will likely expect.

a depressing prospect

I asked this before but what % of people are saying “evil WoTC is lying” compared to what I say of “It looks like an edition change and break no matter how much they don’t want it to be”

I’m not talking about the edition change thing, I’m talking about the 70% threshold. That’s what @Parmandur said some people don’t believe, and there’s really no way to believe that is untrue without believing WotC is lying about it.
