I'm also working under the assumption we could possibly tweak some mechanics for the weaker subclasses, so I'm choosing more on theme than power level. Barbarian: Totem Warrior, Ancestral Guardian, Storm Herald-Going all in on the primal aspects of the barbarian. All are pretty distinct(Beast didn't make the cut because it had more overlap with Totem Warrior)Bard: Lore, Swords, Glamour-Think these three are the best choices. With them you can make a scholar, a warrior type or a straight charming performer.Cleric: Knowledge, Life, Light, Tempest, Trickery, War, Grave, Order-Gonna be honest, Cleric is not a favorite class for me. I decided to add Order, since it seemed popular and dropped Nature(Druids can handle this) to add Grave.Druid: Land, Moon, Shepherd-Really wish I could add a 4th for Stars, but Shepherd lets you do a Shaman style character so it gets the nod.Fighter: Champion, Battlemaster, Rune Knight, Cavalier-I like Rune Knight more than Eldritch Knight, and Cavalier does the protective tanky character. Battlemaster is of course great, and Champion gives a simple option for players.Monk: Open Hand, Shadow, Four Elements, Astral Self-No real comment for this. Think the core 3 are good ideas, and I like Astral Self.Paladin; Devotion, Ancients, Vengeance, Conquest-Devotion fills the classic Knight in Shining Armor, Ancients, Vengeance and Conquest fill similar Knightly archetypes as well.Ranger: Hunter, Beastmaster, Fey Wanderer-This was a tough one. Ultimately Gloom Stalker, Hunter and Monster Hunter all filled similar creative space, so I just choose one. Beastmaster is a cool and iconic design space, and Fey Wanderer is pretty unique as well.Rogue: Thief, Assassin, Arcane Trickster, Swashbuckler-A real hard one for me. I love Rogues, and pretty much all the subclasses. Thief is iconic though, and Assassin, while mechanically not great, is still a concept a lot of people like. Arcane Trickster fills the magical archetype and Swashbuckler rounds it out. Was a real hard decision though.Sorcerer: Draconic, Storm, Abberant-Another one that I wish I could get more slots. That said, Draconic is the traditional option, Storm is more thematic than Wild(which I am sad to lose) and Abberant if made a bit more generic can fit psychic types well.Warlock: Archfey, Fiend, Fathomless, Undead-Fathomless fills the Great Old One option, as it gives what I think a lot of people want when they see Great Old One. Fiend and Archfey are pretty standard. I personally would want Genie as the 4th, but Undead fits the majority of campaigns better.Wizard: The Core 8 + Bladesinger-If there is any class I would want to redo from scratch subclass wise, it's the Wizard. But that isn't an option, so we go with the original idea, plus Bladesinger because people like that, even if I I'm not a huge fan.</blockquote>
