I still don't like it. One extraplanar creature grants you spells because you worship it and another grants you spells because you bargain with it... Ok whatever.So 5e magic is:Wizard - You unlock a difficult magic code and use it correctly to create effectsBard - You can perform music or oratory so well it unlocks magic that creates effectsDruid & Ranger - You venerate nature's code and use it correctly to create effectsCleric & Paladin - You worship a creature that grants you spells to create effectsWarlock - You make a deal with a creature that grants you spells to create effectsSorcerer - You are innately born magical which allows you to create effectsThe 5e classes that I lament are in 5e:Barbarian - would have been fine as a fighter or ranger pathWarlock - would have been fine as a cleric, druid, or sorcerer pathMonk - would have been fine as a fighter, rogue or even a mystical path being a cleric or even sorcerer.All for the same reasons that an Assassin is not a base class essentially, stepping on the toes of other more core classes too much.</blockquote>
