D&D General [+] For (hypothetical) 6e: Which arcane caster class should be the "simple" one?

[doctorbadwolf]

Here's the key part.

Fighters and barbarians aren't simple..
Each has a simple subclass.

There are no simple classes in fifth edition..

If you want to make a simple arcane Castor or a simple divine caster, it would be the first simple class officially in the game.

There are simple subclass.

There is the champion fighter and the berserker barbarian..

You want to make a full class that is as simple as those classes you would as they are limiting yourself to a single sub system..

Nah. This, imo, is a bunk take.

The fighter and barbarian are quite simple. I have never seen a fan of simple characters take issue with either of them, never seen a new playing struggle with them, etc.

They easy. Very. A simole caster doesnt need to be "10 page rpg character" simple, just as simple as the simple existing classes.

The fighter and barbarian are not simple. Only the champion and berserker are. If 90% of the subclass are semicomplex or complex....
