Legend
Besides the usual 5e trade dress, WotC ought to print a special edition of this book, printed with the trade dress of 1e Unearthed Arcana: orange spine, 1e font, black-and-white line-drawings and all.
In what world are Clerics short changed in 5e? They get so very much in 5e and are a top tier class in every sense.When Clerics were first created, they had two things going for them:
One, they healed people, which patched up the downtime problems that the game had. Something that also makes them the defacto "Doctors" of the D&D world.
And Two, they were the anti-vampire character. Which also granted them abilities that were useful against other monsters and spellcasters.
So naturally, the good doctor was presented as a Cleric, because that was as cool as a Cleric was ever going to be.
But fear not! It seems that XGtE is doing it's damnedest to outmode the Cleric. Between the existing alternatives, this subclass, and all the other divine flavored subclasses that are looming, there will be nary a reason to ever roll up a Cleric again. Which is fair, considering that Clerics are just a hodgepodge of tentatively related ideas that somehow jelled despite of the mess.
The Witcher would get along swimmingly with Elminster.

I was hoping for a new subclass video today, but instead we got interviews with critical roll guys. Not a good trade off honestly.
Less "One with Nature", and more "Destroy the unnatural" I would guess.I don’t want Monster Slayer to be a Ranger. The ranger has nature themes and Druidic magic that doesn’t necessarily fit with all monster slayers. Fighter would have been a better place for it, and would have allowed for a nonmagical ranger-type character.
How does the Monster Slayer differentiate itself from the Hunter Ranger?
The Geralt in the video games (I've never read the original Polish novels or their translations) has access to Burning Hands, Thunderwave, Shield, Charm Person and whatever spell Yrrden might be equivalent to. Though houserule wise you'd just swap some spells from the Ranger list out for those ones.
