New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

Five existing D&D subclasses are getting a rework in a newly released Unearthed Arcana. Four of the subclasses come from Xanathar’s Guide to Everything, while the fifth is the Oathbreaker subclass for Paladins from the 2014 Player’s Handbook.

The revised subclasses are:

• Path of the Spiritual Guardian Barbarian (previously Path of the Ancestral Guardian)
• Path of the Storm Herald Barbarian
• Cavalier Fighter
• Warrior of Intoxication Monk (formerly Way of the Drunken Master)
• Oathbreaker Paladin

The Path of the Spiritual Guardian has received a revamped Spiritual Protectors ability with a choice of effects. The Storm Herald’s Storm Aura now scales with Rage damage and the Raging Storm now has redesigned environments. The Cavalier’s Unwavering Mark no longer has limited uses. The Warrior of Intoxication now has the ability to create potent drinks that grant abilities when drank. The Oathbreaker has received some updates bringing its abilities in line with the revamped Paladin’s ability.

The survey for the new subclasses opens on November 6th.

One note of caution: the inclusion of a jester class historically was taken by some players as license to behave disruptively.

Unfortunately, bards still exist

Okay? What’s that got to do with what I was saying?

No. No one has claimed that the Drunken Master is the main part of any problem, least of all me.

Man, you literally brought up the topic of Chinese cultural consultants and suggested that WotC should be careful with this concept. I quoted you in my original reply. You even used the phrase “I’m not saying it’s racist, but…”

Anyway, I made my point originally, not much to add. I’m not super interesting in debating the details of whether you meant what you previously wrote.

Which has no direct bearing to what you said in your quote reply.

This is a lie.

or you could not lie about what I said after replying to it nonsensically.

They didn't go with my suggestion, Warrior of the Hour of Happiness.

Mod note:
Some of you are getting a little pointed and heated.

I suggest you cool it off off, before the red text also has to become pointed.
